Morphology
oil-industry + analyst
The meaning is directly compositional: 'oil' + 'industry' denotes the petroleum sector and 'analyst' denotes a person who examines trends or data, so together they clearly mean a person who analyzes the oil industry. This straightforward noun–noun + agent pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Oil-industry analyst comes from a simple picture: oil (the product), the industry (the companies and oil fields), and an analyst (someone who studies numbers and news about them). So an oil-industry analyst 'explains' and 'reports' on oil market changes and gives 'advice' to people and companies making decisions.
