The environmental people closing wells, that hasn't helped. Think Alaska,

The enviros have helped a lot.
If the oil isn't pumped now, and energy costs therefore rise, we will
have that finite oil a bit longer, while alternatives and efficiency
are encouraged.
If we pump it all quickly and cheaply, we will run out that much
sooner and with fewer alternatives on line.
