WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department said on Monday it will deliver 250,000 barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Marathon Oil Corp (MRO.N).

The company requested the oil for its Midwest refineries along the Capline pipeline after Hurricane Gustav caused supply disruptions. (Reporting by Ayesha Rascoe)
