Oil companies are just chilling out and enjoying the huge profits at these prices. They are in no hurry to collectively dramatically ramp up production and knock the prices down.

The last time oil went to the the moon, they jumped in with both feet, saw spot oil go negative and lost maybe $500b combined. If Uncle Sam wants guaranteed investment, it can provide guaranteed pricing.

Quietly up the pumping. Make no announcements regarding the volume of production. Pretend the market is still tight, and enrich your stockholders at the shortage oriented pricing.
