An explosion and fire occurred at a refinery in the New Orleans area on Friday, with officials reporting no injuries from the incident.

Sources indicated that a reformer heater exploded at the PBF Energy Louisiana refinery. The facility is operated by PBF Energy, one of the largest independent petroleum refiners in the United States.

Local officials confirmed that no personnel were injured in the explosion or subsequent fire. Emergency response teams responded to the scene to address the situation.

The cause of the explosion has not been determined, and the extent of any damage to the facility remains unclear. PBF Energy has not yet released an official statement regarding the incident.

Reformer units are critical components in refineries that convert low-octane petroleum fractions into higher-octane gasoline components. The Louisiana facility is among several refineries that PBF Energy operates across the United States.
