The main trade union CGT said the industrial action was "expanding, getting stronger and will result in the failure of this antisocial government policy."
It said production at all of France's refineries is now "halted completely."
In addition Total Petrochemicals, a lubricants plant in Rouen, Total Fluides and Total Aviation are also on strike, the CGT said.
Fuel supplies are also disrupted, the CGT said, adding that "only emergency services and hospitals are receiving product supplies."
Attempts to resume deliveries from Total's Grandpuits refinery by requiring strikers to work have also failed, the CGT said.
The separate strike at the two oil terminals at the French Mediterranean port Marseille--Fos and Lavera--also continues, resulting in 69 vessels delayed.
These including 29 dirty tankers, 18 clean tankers, 10 LPG carriers and eight chemical ships as well as four barges, which were waiting outside the port.
