UPDATE 1-Isaac shuts 12 pct of US Gulf Coast refining capacity -Energy Dept

NEW YORK, Aug 28 (Reuters) - About 12 percent of the U.S. Gulf Coast's
refining capacity, or 936,000 barrels per day, was shut down as Hurricane Isaac
made a beeline for the Louisiana coast, forcing five refiners to temporarily
halt operations, the U.S. Department of Energy said on Tuesday.
The department revised lower the offline refining capacity, from 1.32
million bpd on Monday afternoon after Marathon Petroleum Corp, which
initially had planned to shut down its 490,000 bpd refinery in Garyville,
Louisiana, continued to operate the plant at reduced rates.
Three more refineries, including Marathon's Garyville, with additional 1.23
million bpd are operating at reduced rates, the department said.
