The reason why OPEC placed an embargo on oil was because there were boarder issues between Israel and Syria and Egypt. They actually placed the embargo only on countries that supported Israel: the Netherlands & the USA. Israel & the USA were causing so much of a rucus, OPEC wanted to show who was actually in control because oil was in such high demand and OPEC could hurt the USA & the Netherlands & Israel just as much as they could help 'em. sorry, no one was answering and I actually knew the answer. (no need to thank me.)
OPEC wanted to raise the price of oil, so they used the supply /demand theory to get what they wanted. They held back the oil and raised the demand for it.

The oil embargo, specifically the 1973-1974 oil crisis, lasted from October 1973 to March 1974, a total of about five months. During this period, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) imposed an oil embargo against countries supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War. This embargo led to significant increases in oil prices and fuel shortages in many countries, profoundly impacting global economies.
OPEC responded with an embargo of the United States (which had sent materiel to Israel in the late stages of that war), which resulted in the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973.
