I am by no means an expert on the subject (you should ask Dingfod) but to the best of my knowledge the U.S. government is not directly involved in exploration, drilling, production or sales of oil or gas. The government is indirectly involved through the sale of oil leases the issuance of permits, regulation of the industry, providing subsidies and taxing.
