Saudi Arabia (strategic oil supply for the world)

The United States-Saudi security relationship steadily expanded during the Cold War.(click here)

What is interesting about the petroleum industry is that they insisted the new horizontal drilling would liberate the USA from foreign oil. Explain then how exporting and bankruptcy provides that security. The relationship with Saudi Arabia is decades old. Saudi Arabia a is a sovereign power with defense of it's own oil fields. Get the picture.

Better yet, just a straight forward question. Is the USA strategic oil reserve more secure with Saudi Arabia as a friend or the petroleum industry (Wall Street)?
