(Reuters) Gabon's sole oil refinery in Port Gentil has been shut due to violence following the disputed August 27 presidential elections, a union official said.
It was not clear when the Sogara refinery, which has a capacity of 21 Mbpd, would be back online, said Sylvain Mayabi, secretary-general of the National Organization of Petrol Employees.
French oil producer Total owns a 43.8% stake in the refinery.
