Oil Price fluctuations

Thanks for this article and the explanation of price volatility. Does the long lead time between discovery and production also contribute to this? When prices increase in the short term, supply is still limited - but then in the longer term, new supply comes on stream at a point when prices are already falling. How much of a factor do you think this is?
