WHY?
If supply is the alleged reason surely you can point to some facts showing international prices mirroring supply over the last 10 years or so? Or perhaps there are other influences you'd rather not talk about?
Conservatives tell us corporations exist to make profits and now you're trying to convince us oil suppliers would purposely sell their products at less than market price? Or that speculators have NO influence on market price?
Please, a 6 year old would see right thru that smoke and those mirrors.
Common sense tells us that common sense is a-political, except in cases like yours where everything is translated into a political stance. Look around your home, and tell me you aren't better off because of capitalism.

Fact: drilling is forcing OPEC to push prices down. Democrats have a history of being wrong. Carter said we needed to use more coal, because natural gas was running out. Obama has crushed the coal industry and energy prices have skyrocketed. ALL Democrats did, and still do, claim that we are running out of all fossil fuels, only to be proven wrong over and over again.

Look at things like the BP oil rig explosion and tell me that the pursuit of $$$ with reckless disregard for anything else hasn't caused harm in the world. There's nothing wrong with capitalism, there's a lot wrong when it's allowed to be pursued at the cost of preventable loss of life and long lasting damage to the environment.
