That's one of the points, Kai: the Germans were unable to extract anything; the other point is even if they managed to they couldn't take it anywhere. Same problem with the hypothetical Rommel dash to Iraq that crops up here once in a while (don't mention the distances involved!): if he could get there and manage to exploit the wells, he would have no way to get a drop back to the Reich.
