We have a ton of oil, but the pipes are basically full capacity. 
  
 If oil goes over about 85, with this administration, you'll see American pipe exploding. OPEC and Russia won't let it go over 80 imo

I agree about our transport issues. That said, OPEC (Saudi, with cradle to grave benefits for citizens) just got done hemmoraging billions every month when they flooded the market last time. The royal family is worth $7T or so, but they were losing $20-30B a month when prices were in the $30-40 range. They can't afford another hit like that so soon. Russia doesn't have the ability to dictate price like the Saudi's do. They have to have buyers because their economy is so dependent on it.
