Can I buy a Commodities (oil) contract without it being a "future" ?

clm15 expires in 5 years and costs $72 a barrel.... yuk. Can I just buy 1,000 barrels for $40 a barrel now and keep it until I want to sell it? I don't want to take possession of the oil or store the oil. I just want an I-owe-you.
