I have a computer library that goes back to the 90's on one, greedy Dick Cheney, and his quest for oil.
There are so many internet links available, I'll limit it to a few for reference.

THE BUSH/CHENEY ENERGY STRATEGY:
IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. FOREIGN AND MILITARY POLICY
A Paper Prepared for the Second Annual Meeting of the Association for Study of Peak Oil Paris, France, 26-27 May 2003
By Michael T. Klare Professor of Peace and World Security Studies

When first assuming office as President in early 2001, George W. Bush’s top foreign policy priority was not to prevent terrorism or to curb the spread of weapons of mass destruction (or any of the other goals he has espoused since 9/11); rather, it was to increase the flow of petroleum from foreign suppliers to markets in the United States. In the year preceding his assumption of office, the United States had experienced severe oil and natural gas shortages in many parts of the country, along with periodic electric-power blackouts in California. In addition, U.S. oil imports had just risen over 50 percent of total U.S. consumption for the first time in American history, provoking great anxiety about the security of America’s long-term energy supply. For these and other reasons, Bush asserted that addressing the nation’s "energy crisis" was his most important task as President.
