for a while in many cities, wildlife returned to urban areas as people stayed inside.

Oil companies (production, refining) geared back for the reduced demand.

Now as the pandemic is (slowly) easing, there is increased demand for fuel. Oil companies have to increase production and refining again.

They are often slow to do for obvious reasons (competition makes them do so, but near monopoly status makes them attempt to take profits where they can).
