PARIS - Total’s Grandpuits refinery near Paris is producing at a reduced rate after the CGT union voted to halt output as part of nationwide protests against a pensions reforms, the French energy company said on Tuesday.
It can take several days to securely shut down refinery operations, while Total may be able to keep it running for a short period by using rotating teams of non-unionised workers. The spokesman said products supply to Total’s petrol stations were improving with just 90 stations running dry compared with 114 the previous day.
“French oil logistics is robust because of a dense network of 200 depots, linked to refineries by pipelines, river barges, or rail, and distribution by trucks for the last kilometers to service stations,” the ministry said in a statement.“There is therefore no cause for concern,” it said, cautioning drivers against rushing to fill up tanks. The ministry said French oil stocks were at a good level.
