Europe simply does not have enough known oil reserves to put a dent in current prices even if it exploited them all.

There may still be good arguments to do so anyway, such as it being less carbon intensive than importing oil, but there is absolutely no magic lever we can pull that would fix this problem that we're just not pulling due to renewables legislation.
