LONDON (Reuters) - Gas flow through Total's St. Fergus gas terminal in Britain will resume normal output within 24 hours following an unplanned outage, the operator said on Thursday.

"Ramp-up ongoing, normal rate expected within 24 hours," Total said in a market message.

Flows through the terminal were cut by 10 million cubic metres per day on Tuesday after the unplanned outage.
