I wasn't referring to the influence of the oil price on the world GDP. What I meant was that oil is of vital importance to keeping the economy up and running. Think of all the purposes we use oil for (FREX, production of goods, and transport), and then think what would happen if the needed flow of oil would suddenly stop -- and think what would happen if that flow would still not have been restarted by the time you run out of your current stock of oil. The effects would be disastrous.
