I don't think so. If the middle east explodes into general war, all oil fields will be the first casualty of war. And I don't mean their destruction. And once that happens, those oil fileds will never revert back to the sandmaggots. The spoils of war historically have been as permanent as permanent can be.

When Iraq and Iran went to war in the 80's the oil kept flowing and the tankers kept moving through the precarious Persian gulf. Neither side wanted to mess with the supply because they needed the cash flow for the war effort.
