PARIS, Oct 12 (Reuters) - A weeks-long strike at French
refineries has become "unbearable" for the population and staff
requisition at TotalEnergies ' TTEF.PA  Dunkirk refinery in
northern France cannot be ruled out, government spokesman
Olivier Vern told reporters.
    The French government earlier on Wednesday started ordering
some staff at an ExxonMobil  XOM.N  fuel depot in Normandy back
to work, battling to secure petrol supplies following the strike
but risking a wider conflict with trade unions.
