The thing is that even if the war ended tomorrow, it's going to be years before production ramps back up to prewar levels. So, the damage is already done. The only question now is how bad it gets.

Damage to whom?

Oil scarcity will increase the sale prices for oil massively. Which means the profits for big oil will go through the roof.

Everyone else will loose, sure.
