Fwiw, I've never heard Bush comment on the allocation of oil post-conflict.
I did however read and see all about how US and other western members of OPEC are currently in discussions (at OPEC HQ in Zurich) with those most likely to form Iraq's 'next' government. Discussion have been focussing on securing oil sinking, refinement and distribution contracts.
There's no way on earth US companies would pass up the opportunity to get in on the act given the oil resources in the country.
Fwiw, the US oil companies weren't alone in their attempts to woo the government in waiting.
