Gabon’s only oil refinery, the 21,000-barrel-per-day Sogara plant, has been forced to halt output as a sector-wide strike entered its second day, union and industry sources said on Wednesday.
“Sogara stopped production yesterday at about 1400,” said Sylvain Mayabi Bine, deputy secretary general at the union ONEP.
Two union sources said that the strike, over jobs and benefits, had also hit oil output in the Central African country, although details could not immediately be confirmed.
