I think the case for activism like this is fairly simple: (1) We need a managed decline of oil that does two things. One, achieves cost-effective emissions reductions on pace with limiting the rise of the global average temperature to 2C. Two, retains enough production for those activities that are difficult to find carbon-free substitutes for, like the kind of heavily concentrated thermal energy key to a lot of industrial processes. (2) We are veering far past that trajectory. The policies of the governments of the world currently put us on course for an average expected 2.7C warming. [1] Current production plans suggest that in 2030 the world will be producing something like twice the oil it should. [2] (3) We should use whatever sensible means possible to push oil production down towards the decarbonisation slope consistent with 2C (and ideally towards 1.5C), including - if and where it works - litigation.
