This is trying to displace responsibility for fossil fuel extraction to some remote place with different incentives. Climate activists like Just Stop Oil are concerned with the policy choices, lobbying, subsidies, infrastructure, and overconsumption of fossil fuels in the developed countries where they live. Demanding those change is a valid political position.

You can’t displace responsibility for a global problem. You do realise extraction is massively done by national companies in countries which hold the ressource and not by developed countries. The days Big Oil dominated the market are long gone. That’s the core of the issue. You won’t magically convince countries which are entirely dependent on fossil fuels for their prosperity to stop. That’s why tackling production is missing the point. Unless you find alternative to consumption and develop capture, you are bound to fail.
