So, lets ignore the fact that there is an incoming cat 4-5 hurricane.

We just used at least 5 million gallons of fuel evacuating (i thought 4 gallons per person leaving N’Orleans would be too little but hey, youd criticize me if i said more), we also have the increase in airfuel usage, transport costs, levy-generator running.

In addition to this, the platforms have shut off 1.5 million barrels a day in production, for about a week, that adds up to 10.5 gallons, so we have a minimum loss before the storm (regardless of storm damage to platforms-refineries) of 15.5 million barrels of oil.
