Questions about energy options

Bear with me. I'm a newb on options. Can anyone tell me why on earth the strike price on weekly options of brent futures on cme displayed as 4000, 4250, 5000, etc, while the underlying's newest settle price is just around 30s. And the volatility smile of the puts is just insane.
