HOUSTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - BP Plc (LSE: BP.L - news) said its largest U.S. refinery continued to operate on Thursday morning following a Wednesday night blaze that was expected to have a minimal impact on production from the Whiting, Indiana plant.

One worker was taken to a Chicago-area hospital for treatment, but was later released, the company said.

BP said operations at the 413,500 barrel per day (bpd) Whiting refinery "were minimally impacted as a result of the incident and the refinery continues to produce products for customers." (Reporting by Erwin Seba; Editing by Mark Potter)
