MELBOURNE, April 16 (Xinhua) -- A major fire that broke out at one of Australia's two oil refineries on Wednesday night will impact the national fuel supply, energy minister Chris Bowen said Thursday.
"The major impact at this point appears to be more on petrol production," he told Australian Broadcasting Corporation television. "I'm sure petrol production will continue but it may be impacted for some time."
The fire broke out at Viva Energy's refinery in the city of Geelong, 65 km southwest of Melbourne, which produces about 10 percent of the national supply. No injuries were reported. ■
