They are not the only ones that profit. They pay the owners, private or public, for the right to drill. And they take the risk of losing their investment. It's called free market capitalism.

So all the Old Growth Redwood trees "belong" to human owners that raze whole tracks of them for profit....? Don't the trees have a "right" to live in peace as well....? I would never insist that a 500 year old tree is somehow "mine" to do with as I please....
