That's basically the way I see it as well - the oil fields of proven friendly (or at least not overtly hostile) need securing as soon as possible to allow the war effort elsewhere not to grind to a fueless halt. Once that's done those units in the area (whoever they may be) can be pushed forward towards the enemy in an effort to both increase the buffer zone and with luck acquire control over more fuel production areas (and deny them to the enemy).
