France is still far from the episode that it experienced last autumn with queues in front of service stations in a large part of the territory. But the consequences of the social movement in the refineries against the pension reform are becoming increasingly visible in the bomb. BFM Business has created a map and a table with the situation of the different French gas stations in almost real time. Simply enter your zip code to find out the availability of one fuel to another at the service stations near you. The data includes the prices of nearly 10,000 service stations throughout France and is updated daily on the https://www.prix-carburants.gouv.fr/rubrique/opendata/ site.
Nationwide, 14.3% of service stations lack at least one type of fuel compared to 12% yesterday, while 7.13% are totally exhausted compared to 6% the day before. However, the disparities are significant from department to department. If partial rupture rates are above 10% in Brittany, Normandy and the Paris region, they reach much higher levels in south-eastern France, where the situation has, however, slightly improved.
Opposite trajectory in the West
In Bouches-du-Rhône, the department most affected by the repercussions of the strikes in the oil sector against the pension reform, 52.7% of service stations still lacked at least one type of fuel (gasoline or diesel) and 39.6% were dry on Wednesday at 10 am, compared with nearly 54% and 41%, respectively, 24 hours earlier. The situation has also improved in Gard, with 43.2% of the stations affected on Wednesday (48% on Tuesday) and Vaucluse (33.6% compared to 42% the day before), where the prefectures decided on Monday to limit the fuel sales, up to and including Thursday. while prohibiting the sale of gasoline in drums.
In the West, on the other hand, the situation has deteriorated in certain departments, such as Loire-Atlantique, where no more fuel has come out of the Donges refinery since last week: more than 51% of the stations lacked at least one fuel on Wednesday . , compared to 40.8% the day before. The same trend in the neighboring department of Maine-et-Loire (42.4% compared to 35.8% the day before).
Update on the situation at the refineries
On the refinery front, TotalEnergies has just one in four refineries running, in Feyzin, near Lyon, from where strikers continue to prevent fuel from escaping. The largest refinery in the group -and in France-, in Gonfreville-l’Orcher, stopped this weekend, and two others (Donges, in Loire-Atlantique, and the La Mède biorefinery, in Bouches-du-Rhône) are arrested for reasons other than the strike. TotalEnergies management reported 38% strikers Wednesday, among morning operators, on average, across all its refineries.
The only French refinery of the Petroineos company in Lavéra (Bouches-du-Rhône) also stopped due to the strike. The two Esso-ExxonMobil refineries continue to operate: the Fos-sur-Mer refinery operates at minimum flow; The one in Port-Jérôme-Gravenchon, which was beginning to run out of oil to refine, received some on Monday, according to Eric Sellini. At both sites, fuel shipments are still blocked according to him, which was confirmed by the group’s leadership.
