Oil giants to gain ‘billions’ from Iran war — but won’t ramp up drilling despite Trump’s insistence

St. Petersburg, FL (July 24, 2026) – Joe Adamski, Managing Director at ProcureAbility, was recently featured in The New York Post, discussing why oil majors are resisting pressure to increase drilling.

The US energy industry is bracing for a huge windfall from the Iran war, but oil majors aren’t planning to ramp up drilling – even as the Trump administration pushes them to lower gasoline costs.

President Trump has repeatedly pressured American energy giants to “Drill, baby drill!” and recently threatened to investigate the industry for price-gouging as Americans feel pain at the pump – a concern for Republicans ahead of the midterms.

But oil majors are reluctant to build out more rigs and wells, resisting White House pressure as they claim their bumper profits are just a temporary boost.
