Their main goal was Baku, now the capital of Azerbaijan. Their were also significant sources in Maikop and Grozny. Of the three, they did manage to take Maikop, but the facilities had been destroyed by the retreating Red Army, and before they could get them operational, they had to abandon the entire area due to the Soviet victory at Stalingrad.

The Caucasus mountain region between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea is where those of us called "white" or Caucasian
came from. It seems to be a well spring of human population groups if you look at migration patterns into Europe from 1000BC to ~1000CE.
The oilfields were only significant after 1900, but they were a target for oil poor and oil needy Germany in WWII. "Tanks must run on petrol" - from the movie "Battle of the Bulge."
