BP says Whiting, Indiana refinery operations normal after leak

NEW YORK, Dec 27 (Reuters) - BP's BP.L 435,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) Whiting, Indiana, refinery was operating normally following a leak from a pipeline that transports liquid material, the company said.

The refinery experienced a release from a pipeline within the tank field located on Thursday, the company said. The leak may have resulted in odors in the area.

Emergency crews were immediately activated to respond to the incident and the leak has been stopped.

The Whiting refinery, the largest in the U.S. Midwest, produces a wide range of liquid fuels.
