The general term Price of Oil usually referees to the next month yet-unexpired futures contract for the Light Sweet Crude (West Texas Intermediate) oil. Thus, the equilibrium for such defined Oil Price is established by investor's expectation about supply and demand conditions for the yet-unexpired-next-month future contract. Such expectations about supply-demand conditions for the future contracts are driven both by expectations about fundamental supply-demand conditions of the real physical crude oil markets, as well as speculative so-called momentum plays.
The price ceiling is located below the equilibrium price on a graph depicting market equilibrium.
When the market price is lower than the equilibrium price the price of the product will continue to rise. The price will rise until it equal the equilibrium price.
A
The market price is below the equilibrium price.
A shortage in an economic market leads to an increase in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the equilibrium quantity.

equilibrium price
The price that exists when a market is clear of shortage and surplus, or is in equilibrium.
A price ceiling is binding when it is below the equilibrium price. It is the legal maximum price, so the market wants to reach equilibrium (which is above that) but can't legally. If it were above the equilibrium price it would not be binding because the market would reach equilibrium and the ceiling would have no effect. A price floor is binding when it is above the equilibrium price. You can use similar reasoning to that above. It is the legal minimum price. the market wants to reach equilibrium below that but can't legally.
equilibrium is the responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.
When supply and demand are balanced
