PARIS, Feb. 10 -- A fire which broke out Feb. 10 at the electric power station of Total SA's Dunkirk refinery cut off the plant's entire electric system and forced a shutdown of the 160,000 b/d facility. The fire was quickly extinguished.
Total is not certain when the refinery could be restarted, a Total spokeswoman told OGJ. Total has five other refineries in France and sufficient stocks to meet demand.
