Equinor's Mongstad oil refinery in Norway was evacuated following a naphtha leak at the facility's diesel-making uniton but output was unaffected, the company said.
There were no injuries and the leak has been stopped, police..
separately said."The situation has been normalised and people are back at work," Equinor spokesperson Eskil Eriksen said, adding that only non-essential staff had been evacuated.
"It has not affected production."
Mongstad is Equinor's largest refinery and has a crude oil and condensate distillation capacity of 226,000 barrels per day, according to the company.
The wider Mongstad area contains refinery operations, a terminal for crude oil exports as well as other facilities.
In October 2017, Mongstad suffered a two-week outage caused by a naphtha leak, and in December 2018 Equinor halted parts of the refinery's gasoline output following a spill of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
