MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX) is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership based in the United States. The company owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, focusing on two core segments: Logistics & Storage (L&S) and Gathering & Processing (G&P). MPLX's extensive network includes 13,000 miles of pipelines, storage caverns with a combined capacity of 4.7 million barrels, and an inland marine fleet of 23 boats and 286 barges.
The L&S segment involves the transportation, storage, distribution, and marketing of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other hydrocarbon-based products like asphalt. This segment also manages MPLX's pipeline assets, many of which were acquired through significant transactions, such as the acquisition of Andeavor Logistics in 2019.

This segment includes assets from MarkWest, a leading gathering and processing company acquired by MPLX in 2015. MPLX has positioned itself as a key player in critical U.S. supply basins, particularly the Appalachian and Permian regions.
Recent financial reports demonstrate MPLX's robust performance and strategic growth. In the third quarter of 2023, the company reported a net income of $918 million. Despite a year-over-year decrease mainly due to a non-cash gain in the previous year, adjusted EBITDA showed a positive trend, reaching $1,596 million. MPLX's financial health is further underscored by its ability to generate significant free cash flow, returning $799 million to unitholders and announcing a third-quarter distribution of $0.85 per common unit.
Strategic expansions are key to MPLX's growth. The company is enhancing its natural gas and NGL pipelines, supporting the Permian and Bakken basins. The completion of the Whistler Pipeline's expansion and ongoing projects like the ADCC Pipeline lateral and BANGL joint venture pipeline illustrate MPLX's commitment to meeting increasing demand.
MPLX's financial stability is highlighted by its leverage ratio of 3.4x and a strong liquidity position with $960 million in cash as of September 30, 2023. The company continues to maintain solid investor relations, regularly updating stakeholders through conferences and webcasts.
