This segment includes assets from MarkWest, a leading gathering and processing company acquired by MPLX in 2015.

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.

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.
