Total, Chevron Oil Depot Explodes North of London

Police reported “panic buying” of fuel at gas stations in Hertfordshire. Total, Europe’s biggest oil refiner, said the explosions won’t cause a fuel shortage.

“There is no need to panic,” said Leslie Else, a spokeswoman at Total’s office in Watford, England. “The U.K. has sufficient infrastructure to cope with this situation.”

Total officials couldn’t immediately say if its refinery that supplies the terminal is still operating or if Total will be able to meet its commitments to deliver fuels.
