After looking into the sides of the conflict there right now, it honestly looks more like a Shia/Sunni war being fought with Wahhabists kicking in against both. Looking at both Iran and Hezbollah backing Assad, who himself is Shia, this is a conflict much deeper than anything about oil. It's the same issue we see throughout the region. A Shia, a member of the minority population, take the leadership role and the Sunnis aren't happy with it. When a member of the religious minority is in charge of a country where the other sect is the majority, there is turmoil. Shia Muslims don't like being ruled by Sunni, and vice versa.
