In most cases the "speculator" is the logistics manager for some large
petroleum consumer who is trying to do their job by locking up
sufficient future supplies.

Or the guy who runs a plant that runs on bunker oil. He buys oil futures
contracts to ensure that he has the resources to operate his plant at a
known cost.
