According to Today's oil futures price: (Following futures could be found in Tradingview Futures list. In other platform, the symbol might be different.)
Jun (CLM2020) from $13 to $18;
Jul (CLN2020) from $18 to $23;
DEC (CLZ2020) from $28 to $30;
I estimate Oil price will go up from the bottom in June .

Comment:
Since I knew that USO is not good for long term up direction, I will Long USL to long Oil, and short USO to short Oil. 4/28/2020, USO shares will be merged from 8 to 1.
The only problem in USL is its options are not actively traded as USO. I have to pay $0.1 more than the mid price to get filled.
Trade closed manually:
Closed with small loss.
Today, USO down 16%, USL down 7.3%;
I will Long USL to long Oil, and short USO to short Oil.
