It actually helps refineries because the raw product is cheaper.

Correct

It's the upstream industry that is selling the product that will suffer

I'd say refining companies like Valero and Tesoro will be looking good

Most of the majors are diversified in upstream and downstream investments. I don't know that it would be a wash for them but I'd have to think they'll at least tread water for now. It could definitely make the majors rethink some of their large scale upstream investments though.
