Except those oil reserved would have been used up powering every gas-driven boat on the island, taking refugees away from the island following the '98 hurricane... if you are talking about refined petroleum in tank farms.
But if you are talking about oil reserves along the lines of oil deposits that have yet to be drilled or pumped out then it's a different matter. In that case, pro-Cuban Haitian militias and the Cuban Army are probably competing with pro-French Haitian militias and the Foreign Legion for control of them. And of course... there would nationalistic Haitian militias and criminal gangs harassing both groups.
Well, maybe your guys can play them off each other? It worked for Clint Eastwood in
A Fistful of Dollars... and Toshiru Mifume in
Jojimbo.
