(Reuters) - Exxon Mobil 's 140,000 barrel per day (bpd) fos-Sur-Mer and 240,000 bpd Port Jerome-Gravenchon oil refineries in France could take 2-3 weeks to fully restart after shutdowns caused by strikes, a company spokesperson said on Tuesday.
Strike action over pay at the two refineries, which resulted in a three-week closure, ended late last week. This has allowed Exxon (NYSE:XOM) to begin restarting the plants.
The outages, coupled with walkouts at oil major TotalEnergies (LON:TTEF), contributed to supply problems at French petrol stations and resulted in growing queues of motorists worried about supply disruption.
A nationwide strike in France on Tuesday has not affected the restart of Exxon's refineries, the spokesperson said.
