You forget the rest of the world. China, now the largest importer of oil is on a determined path to reduce its dependence on oil imports. I know, because I worked there and I know the latest policies. Should you go to China you would be staggered by the number of electric m/cycles and cars. Shanghai alone will have 26,000 car charging points within the next decade, all powered by nuclear electricity. When the territorial disputes in the South China Sea are sorted then an incredible amount of gas and oil will be available. It doesn't matter whether it's Chinese, Vietnamese or Phillipino oil, it's not Saudi.
