Using U.S. oil demand of 20.4 mbd (not positive of my number here), then the current oil shut-in in the Gulf is approximately 4.5% of daily consumption. Or, from another perspective, around 1% of current world consumption must be met from increased production elsewhere (or reserve release).

Does someone have the current daily consumption for gas in the U.S.?

“This order [i.e. capitalism] is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with the economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt.”

—Max Weber, 1905
