Only Russia can't completely turn off its pumps, and only during winter. They'll freeze. Besides that case everyone else can do it or simply slow them down as they've done in the past.

Will they thaw up and be usable in summer, or does the freezing destroy them?

Not destroy exactly, but cause enough damage that it will require extensive repairs. Please note that this what the Russians claimed some years ago as the reason they could not shut down production during a previous disagreement with OPEC so we should take it with a grain of salt.
