(Reuters) A gas blast that injured five people at Total's 247-Mbpd Gonfreville refinery in northern France did not impact production, because the unit was on scheduled maintenance, the company said on Tuesday.
Total said in a statement that the gas leak has been reduced and the fire was extinguished.
"The main refinery units and the Petrochemical part of the platform are not affected," Total said, adding that only the bitumen blowing unit was shut down because of the gas leak.
