ACCRA (Reuters) – At least one person has been killed after an explosion on a pipeline linking Ghana’s 45,000 barrel-per-day Tema Oil Refinery to a nearby port, an employee at the refinery said on Tuesday.
The employee, who asked not to be named, said a fire had broken out on a 5 km (3 mile) stretch of pipeline linking the refinery to the eastern Tema port. It was not immediately clear if the refinery was continuing to operate.
