A few hours after voting to extend their airstrikes into Syria, Britain has bombed some oil fields controlled by ISIS.

My question when reading this was why does ISIS have some oil fields under its control which haven't already been bombed? Given that they're the major source of revenue for ISIS to do all the stuff it's doing, why were these not targets on the first day at the same time that ISIS's corporate accounts at Citibank were frozen?
It would seem to be an obvious initial step to blow these up right at the beginning and then have a few drones on standby around them to drop a missile ontop of anyone who drives near the rubble.
