possession make up most of the market. Oil companies have input on the supply, but they don't have control of the price on exchanges.
Investors will buy oil futures contracts hoping the prices go up. They resell the contracts, take the profit. Others like airlines sometimes hedge by buying extra contracts if they expect the price to rise in the future.
