But what if they are manipulating the market to raise the price beyond where it should be? This rapid raise is speculation at its worst and there is a brewing backlash.

Any single company cannot manipulate a market the size of the world oil market, with the possible exception of Aramco. But if you think Shell or Exxon should sell at below market prices, I do not think you understand a free market.
