The oil stuff seems very unclear, small scale and uninteresting. And it seems to be generally offshore. If it's offshore it doesn't matter if they are fighting a civil war or not as they can't get to the platforms anyway. Compare with the oil offshore Angola (IIRC) during the war. Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
Of course, in this case the place is so fucked up that it's not safe to operate, which probably wasn't part of the plan.
And of course, the closer to shore the cheaper to drill. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
