Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of the Business

MPLX LP is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership formed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. We are engaged in the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products and renewables; the gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs. MPLX’s principal executive office is located in Findlay, Ohio. MPLX was formed on March 27, 2012 as a Delaware limited partnership and completed its initial public offering on October 31, 2012.

MPLX’s business consists of two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products and renewables; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments.

Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of MPLX’s management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, has been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as Noncontrolling interests on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in VIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method.

2. Accounting Standards

Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements

In March 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to amend certain provisions of ASC 842 that apply to arrangements between related parties under common control. The ASU amends the accounting for the amortization period of leasehold improvements in common-control leases for all entities and requires certain disclosures when the lease term is shorter than the useful life of the asset. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial disclosures.

3. Investments and Noncontrolling Interests

The following table presents MPLX’s equity method investments at the dates indicated:

(1) The investment in MarEn Bakken Company LLC includes our 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture (“Dakota Access”) that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system or DAPL.

(2) Some investments included within Other have also been deemed to be VIEs.

For those entities that have been deemed to be VIEs, neither MPLX nor any of its subsidiaries have been deemed to be the primary beneficiary due to voting rights on significant matters. While we have the ability to exercise influence through participation in the management committees which make all significant decisions, we have equal influence over each committee as a joint interest partner and all significant decisions require the consent of the other investors without regard to economic interest. As such, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and applied the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

MPLX’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with equity method investments includes its equity investment, any additional capital contribution commitments and any operating expenses incurred by the subsidiary operator in excess of its compensation received for the performance of the operating services. MPLX did not provide any financial support to equity method investments that it was not contractually obligated to provide during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 15 for information on our Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees.

4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions

MPLX engages in transactions with both MPC and certain of its equity method investments as part of its normal business; however, transactions with MPC make up the majority of MPLX’s related party transactions. Transactions with related parties are further described below.

MPLX has various long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with MPC. Under these agreements, MPLX provides transportation, gathering, terminal, fuels distribution, marketing, storage, management, operational and other services to MPC. MPC has committed to provide MPLX with minimum quarterly throughput volumes on crude oil and refined products and other fees for storage capacity; operating and management fees; and reimbursements for certain direct and indirect costs. MPC has also committed to provide a fixed fee for 100 percent of available capacity for boats, barges and third-party chartered equipment under the marine transportation service agreement. MPLX also has a keep-whole commodity agreement with MPC under which MPC pays us a processing fee for NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivers shrink gas to the producers on our

Table of Contents

behalf. We pay MPC a marketing fee in exchange for assuming the commodity risk. Additionally, MPLX has obligations to MPC for services provided to MPLX by MPC under omnibus and employee services-type agreements as well as other agreements.

During the second quarter of 2023, several terminal and storage services agreements with MPC were amended for certain items, including exercise of a five-year renewal option, with terms now extending to 2028.

Related Party Loan

MPLX is party to a loan agreement (the “MPC Loan Agreement”) with MPC. Under the terms of the MPC Loan Agreement, MPC extends loans to MPLX on a revolving basis as requested by MPLX and as agreed to by MPC. The borrowing capacity of the MPC Loan Agreement is $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The MPC Loan Agreement is scheduled to expire, and borrowings under the loan agreement are scheduled to mature and become due and payable, on July 31, 2024, provided that MPC may demand payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), at any time prior to maturity. Borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement bear interest at one-month term SOFR adjusted upward by 0.10 percent plus 1.25 percent or such lower rate as would be applicable to such loans under the MPLX Credit Agreement as discussed in Note 11.

There was no activity on the MPC Loan Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Related Party Revenue

Related party sales to MPC primarily consist of crude oil and refined products pipeline based on tariff or contracted rates; storage, terminal and fuels distribution services based on contracted rates; and marine transportation services. Related party sales to MPC also consist of revenue related to volume deficiency credits.

MPLX also has operating agreements with MPC under which it receives a fee for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets and a fixed annual fee for providing oversight and management services required to run the marine business. MPLX also receives management fee revenue for engineering, construction and administrative services for operating certain of its equity method investments. Amounts earned under these agreements are classified as Other income - related parties in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain product sales to MPC and other related parties net to zero within the consolidated financial statements as the transactions are recorded net due to the terms of the agreements under which such product was sold. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, these sales totaled $192 million and $540 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, these sales totaled $235 million and $809 million, respectively.

Related Party Expenses

MPC charges MPLX for executive management services and certain general and administrative services provided to MPLX under the terms of our omnibus agreements (“Omnibus charges”) and for certain employee services provided to MPLX under employee services agreements (“ESA charges”). Omnibus charges and ESA charges are classified as Rental cost of sales - related parties, Purchases - related parties, or General and administrative expenses depending on the nature of the asset or activity with which the costs are associated. In addition to these agreements, MPLX purchases products from MPC, makes payments to MPC in its capacity as general contractor to MPLX, and has certain rent and lease agreements with MPC.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, General and administrative expenses incurred from MPC totaled $72 million and $197 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, General and administrative expenses incurred from MPC totaled $60 million and $173 million, respectively.

Some charges incurred under the omnibus and employee service agreements are related to engineering services and are associated with assets under construction. These charges are added to Property, plant and equipment, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, these charges totaled $28 million and $56 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, these charges totaled $16 million and $54 million, respectively.

Related Party Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities with related parties appearing in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are detailed in the table below. This table identifies the various components of related party assets and liabilities, including those associated with leases and deferred revenue on minimum volume commitments. If MPC fails to meet its minimum committed volumes, MPC will pay MPLX a deficiency payment based on the terms of the agreement. The deficiency amounts received under these agreements (excluding payments received under agreements classified as sales-type leases) are recorded as Current liabilities - related parties. In many cases, MPC may then apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitment in future periods under the terms of the applicable agreements. MPLX recognizes related party revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes in excess of minimum quarterly volume commitments, where it is

probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods or upon the expiration of the credits. The use or expiration of the credits is a decrease in Current liabilities - related parties. Deficiency payments under agreements that have been classified as sales-type leases are recorded as a reduction against the corresponding lease receivable. In addition, capital projects MPLX undertakes at the request of MPC are reimbursed in cash and recognized as revenue over the remaining term of the applicable agreements or in some cases, as a contribution from MPC.

Unit Repurchase Program

On August 2, 2022, we announced the board authorization for the repurchase of up to $1 billion of MPLX common units held by the public. This unit repurchase authorization has no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

No units were repurchased during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had $846 million remaining under the unit repurchase authorization.

Redemption of the Series B Preferred Units

On February 15, 2023, MPLX exercised its right to redeem all 600,000 outstanding 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Series B preferred units”). MPLX paid unitholders the Series B preferred unit redemption price of $1,000 per unit.

Distributions on the Series B preferred units were payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February and August of each year up to and including February 15, 2023. In accordance with these terms, MPLX made a final cash distribution of $21 million to Series B preferred unitholders on February 15, 2023, in conjunction with the redemption.

The changes in the Series B preferred unit balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are included in the Consolidated Statements of Equity within Series B preferred units.

Distributions

Quarterly distributions for 2023 and 2022 are summarized below:


(Per common unit)	2023		2022
March 31,	$	0.775	$	0.705
June 30,	0.775		0.705
September 30,	$	0.850	$	0.775

The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions to limited and preferred unitholders is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. Distributions, although earned, are not accrued until declared. MPLX’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned.

6. Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income per unit applicable to common units is computed by dividing net income attributable to MPLX LP less income allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of common units outstanding.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, MPLX had participating securities consisting of common units, certain equity-based compensation awards, Series A preferred units, and Series B preferred units and also had dilutive potential common units consisting of certain equity-based compensation awards. Potential common units omitted from the diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were less than 1 million.

7. Segment Information

MPLX’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer of its general partner. The CODM reviews MPLX’s discrete financial information, makes operating decisions, assesses financial performance and allocates resources on a type of service basis. MPLX has two reportable segments: L&S and G&P. Each of these segments is organized and managed based upon the nature of the products and services it offers.

•L&S – gathers, transports, stores and distributes crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products and renewables. Also includes the operation of refining logistics, fuels distribution and inland marine businesses, terminals, rail facilities, and storage caverns.

•G&P – gathers, processes and transports natural gas; and transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs.

Our CODM evaluates the performance of our segments using Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Amounts included in net income and excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) interest and other financial costs; (iii) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (iv) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (v) gain on sales-type leases; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) noncontrolling interests; and (viii) other adjustments, as applicable. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Values – Recurring

The following table presents the impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets of MPLX’s financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 by fair value hierarchy level.


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
(In millions)	Asset		Liability		Asset		Liability
Commodity contracts (Level 2)
Other current assets / Other current liabilities	$	2	$	—	$	—	$	—
Embedded derivatives in commodity contracts (Level 3)
Other current assets / Other current liabilities	—		10		—		10
Other noncurrent assets / Other long-term liabilities	—		50		—		51
Total carrying value in Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	2	$	60	$	—	$	61

Table of Contents

Level 2 instruments include over-the-counter fixed swaps to mitigate the price risk from our sales of propane. The swap valuations are based on observable inputs in the form of forward prices based on Mont Belvieu propane forward spot prices and contain no significant unobservable inputs.

Level 3 instruments relate to an embedded derivative liability for a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.61 to $1.66 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.79 per gallon and (2) a 100 percent probability of renewal for the five-year renewal term of the gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, respectively.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The following table is a reconciliation of the net beginning and ending balances recorded for net liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Values – Reported

We believe the carrying value of our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, receivables from related parties, lease receivables, lease receivables from related parties, accounts payable, and payables to related parties, approximate fair value. MPLX’s fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including the duration of the instruments, MPC’s investment-grade credit rating, and the historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. The recorded value of the amounts outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility, if any, approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate that approximates current market rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, based on available market information (see Note 10).

The fair value of MPLX’s debt is estimated based on prices from recent trade activity and is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of our third-party debt, excluding finance leases and unamortized debt issuance costs:


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
(In millions)	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Outstanding debt(1)	$	17,922	$	20,536	$	18,095	$	19,905

(1) Any amounts outstanding under the MPC Loan Agreement are not included in the table above, as the carrying value approximates fair value. This balance is reflected in Current liabilities - related parties in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2023, MPLX had the following outstanding commodity contracts that were executed to manage the price risk associated with sales of propane during 2023:

Derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments

Financial Position

Notional Quantity

Propane (gallons)

Short

16,827,000

Embedded Derivative - MPLX has a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement with a producer customer in the Southern Appalachian region expiring in December 2027. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for one five-year term through December 2032. For accounting purposes, the natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending option have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its option is determined based on assumptions about the customer’s potential business strategy decision points that may exist at the time they would elect whether to renew the contract. The changes in fair value of this compound embedded derivative are based on the difference between the contractual and index pricing, the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend, and the estimated favorability of these contracts compared to current market conditions. The changes in fair value are recorded in earnings through Purchased product costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income. For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, see Note 9. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $60 million and $61 million, respectively.

Certain derivative positions are subject to master netting agreements; therefore, MPLX has elected to offset derivative assets and liabilities that are legally permissible to be offset. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no derivative assets or liabilities that were offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We make a distinction between realized or unrealized gains and losses on derivatives. During the period when a derivative contract is outstanding, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When a derivative contract matures or is settled, the previously recorded unrealized gain or loss is reversed, and the realized gain or loss of the contract is recorded. The impact of MPLX’s derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments and the location of gains and losses recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income is summarized below:

MPLX’s credit agreement (the “MPLX Credit Agreement”) matures in July 2027 and, among other things, provides for a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and letter of credit issuing capacity under the facility of up to $150 million. Letter of credit issuing capacity is included in, not in addition to, the $2 billion borrowing capacity. Borrowings under the MPLX Credit Agreement bear interest, at MPLX’s election, at either the Adjusted Term SOFR or the Alternate Base Rate, both as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin.

There was no activity on the MPLX Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes

MPLX’s senior notes, including those issued by consolidated subsidiaries, consist of various series of senior notes maturing between 2024 and 2058 with interest rates ranging from 1.750 percent to 5.650 percent. Interest on each series of notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on various dates depending on the series of the notes.

On February 9, 2023, MPLX issued $1.6 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of $1.1 billion principal amount of 5.00 percent senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Notes”) and $500 million principal amount of 5.65 percent senior notes due 2053 (the “2053 Senior Notes”). The 2033 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.170 percent of par with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on September 1, 2023. The 2053 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.536 percent of par with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on September 1, 2023.

On February 15, 2023, MPLX used $600 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2033 Senior Notes and 2053 Senior Notes described above to redeem all of the outstanding Series B preferred units. On March 13, 2023, MPLX used the remaining proceeds from the offering, and cash on hand, to redeem all of MPLX’s and MarkWest’s $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.50 percent senior notes due July 2023, at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption resulted in a loss of $9 million due to the immediate expense recognition of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which is included on the Consolidated Statements of Income as Other financial costs, net.

Contract Balances

Our receivables are primarily associated with customer contracts. Payment terms vary by product or service type; however, the period between invoicing and payment is not significant. Included within the receivables are balances related to commodity sales on behalf of our producer customers, for which we remit the net sales price back to the producer customers upon completion of the sale. These balances are included in Receivables, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under certain of our contracts, we recognize revenues in excess of billings which we present as contract assets. Contract assets typically relate to deficiency payments related to minimum volume commitments and aid in construction agreements where the revenue recognized and MPLX’s rights to consideration for work completed exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are included in Other current assets and Other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under certain of our contracts, we receive payments in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, which are recorded as contract liabilities. Contract liabilities, which we present as Deferred revenue and Long-term deferred revenue, typically relate to advance payments for aid in construction agreements and deferred customer credits associated with makeup rights and minimum volume commitments. Related to minimum volume commitments, breakage is estimated and recognized into service revenue in instances where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods. We classify contract liabilities as current or long-term based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue.

The tables below reflect the changes in ASC 606 contract balances for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022:

Remaining Performance Obligations

The table below includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of September 30, 2023. The amounts presented below are generally limited to fixed consideration from contracts with customers that contain minimum volume commitments.

A significant portion of our future contracted revenue is excluded from the amounts presented below in accordance with ASC 606. Variable consideration that is constrained or not required to be estimated as it reflects our efforts to perform is excluded from this disclosure. Additionally, we do not disclose information on the future performance obligations for any contract with an original expected duration of one year or less, or that are terminable by our customer with little or no termination penalties. Potential future performance obligations related to renewals that have not yet been exercised or are not certain of exercise are

As of September 30, 2023, unsatisfied performance obligations included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are $426 million and will be recognized as revenue as the obligations are satisfied, which is expected to occur over the next 20 years. A portion of this amount is not disclosed in the table above as it is deemed variable consideration due to volume variability.

14. Leases

During the third quarter of 2022, the approved expansion of a gathering and compression system triggered the first assessment of the related third-party agreement under ASC 842. Similarly, an amendment to extend the term of our butane storage service agreement with MPC triggered the first assessment of the related-party agreement under ASC 842. As a result of the assessments during the third quarter of 2022, the leases were reclassified from operating leases to sales-type leases. Accordingly, the underlying property, plant and equipment, net, and associated deferred revenue, if any, were derecognized. The present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets were recorded as a net investment in sales-type lease during the period.

Table of Contents

The following presents the consolidated financial statement impact of the sales-type lease modifications discussed above. These transactions, including any related gains recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income, were non-cash transactions.

(1) The amount recognized on commencement date was recorded as a Contribution from MPC in the Consolidated Statements of Equity given the underlying agreements are between entities under common control.

(2) The amount recognized on commencement date was recorded as a gain in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

MPLX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which MPLX has not recorded a liability, MPLX is unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material.

Environmental Matters

MPLX is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for non-compliance.

Accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $23 million at September 30, 2023 and $17 million December 31, 2022. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed.

MPLX is involved in environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other Legal Proceedings

In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. After subsequent appeal proceedings and in compliance with a new order issued by the BIA, in December 2020, THPP paid approximately $4 million in assessed trespass damages and ceased use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. In March 2021, the BIA issued an order purporting to vacate the BIA's prior orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass and direct the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order. In April 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (together, the “U.S. Government Parties”) challenging the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass. On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer and counterclaims to THPP’s suit claiming THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seeking disgorgement of pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims.

MPLX is also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees

We hold a 9.19 percent indirect interest in Dakota Access, which owns and operates the Bakken Pipeline system. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued.

In May 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared. In June 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. The pipeline remains operational.

We have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system.

If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, MPLX and its affiliates provide guarantees of MPLX’s subsidiaries payment and performance obligations in the G&P segment. Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require MPLX to construct new natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of September 30, 2023, management does not believe there are any indications that MPLX will not be able to meet the construction milestones, that force majeure does not apply or that such fees and charges will otherwise be triggered.

MPLX Overview

We are a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership formed by MPC in 2012 that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. The business consists of two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”) and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”). The L&S segment primarily engages in the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products, and renewables. The L&S segment also includes the operation of our refining logistics, fuels distribution and inland marine businesses, terminals, rail facilities and storage caverns. The G&P segment provides gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas as well as the transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs.

Significant Financial and Other Highlights

Significant financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are shown in the chart below. Refer to the Results of Operations, the Liquidity and Capital Resources, and Non-GAAP Financial Information sections for further information.

(1) The 2022 amounts include a $509 million non-cash gain on a lease reclassification. See Note 14 in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

(2) Non-GAAP measure. See reconciliations that follow for the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Other Highlights

•Returned $799 million and $2,419 million of capital to unitholders in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, via distributions.

•Announced a third quarter 2023 distribution of $0.850 per common unit, representing a 10% increase over the prior quarter’s distribution.

Garyville Tank Farm Incident

In August 2023, a naphtha release and resulting fire occurred at our Garyville Tank Farm (“Garyville Incident”), resulting in the loss of four storage tanks with a combined shell capacity of 894 thousand barrels. We incurred $63 million of incident response costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We are pursuing recovery of property damage and incident response costs under the relevant insurance policies, although there can be no assurance as to the amount of recovery, if any.

Current Economic Environment

In an effort to ease inflation in support of its monetary policy goals, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times throughout 2022 and 2023. We cannot predict the effect of higher interest rates, the concern of a recession, or the impact of inflation and fuel prices on demand for our services. In response to this business environment, MPLX remains focused on executing its strategic priorities of strict capital discipline, fostering a low-cost culture, and portfolio optimization. Also, to the extent permitted by regulations and our existing agreements, many of which provide for inflation-based adjustments, we have increased the fees we charge our customers to reflect higher levels of inflation.

Succession Planning

As previously disclosed, MPC maintains a mandatory retirement policy that, absent a waiver or extension, requires an executive officer to retire from service to the company coincident with, or immediately following, the first of the month after such executive officer reaches age 65 (the "Policy"). Michael J. Hennigan, President and Chief Executive Officer of our general partner, as well as the President and Chief Executive Officer of MPC, will reach mandatory retirement on August 1, 2024. Accordingly, the MPC Board of Directors, with a focus on the long-term strategic direction of the company, is engaged in appropriate succession planning activities, which are expected to include, among other customary steps, the review of succession candidates, as well as consideration of any waiver or extension of the Policy respecting Mr. Hennigan.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability and include the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, adjusted free cash flow (“Adjusted FCF”), and Adjusted FCF after distributions. The amount of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF generated is considered by the board of directors of our general partner in approving MPLX’s cash distributions.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) provision for income taxes; (ii) interest and other financial costs; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (v) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (vi) gain on sales-type leases; (vii) impairment expense; (viii) noncontrolling interests; and (ix) other adjustments, as applicable. We also use DCF, which we define as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted for: (i) deferred revenue impacts; (ii) sales-type lease payments, net of income; (iii) net interest and other financial costs; (iv) net maintenance capital expenditures; (v) equity method investment capital expenditures paid out; and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary.

We define Adjusted FCF as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for: (i) net cash used in investing activities; (ii) cash contributions from MPC; and (iii) cash distributions to noncontrolling interests. We define Adjusted FCF after distributions as Adjusted FCF less base distributions to common and preferred unitholders.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, Adjusted FCF and Adjusted FCF after distributions provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA and DCF are net income and net cash provided by operating activities while the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted FCF and Adjusted FCF after distributions is net cash provided by operating activities. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income or net cash provided by operating activities as they have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to their most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see Results of Operations. For a reconciliation of Adjusted FCF and Adjusted FCF after distributions to their most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Comparability of our Financial Results

During the normal course of business, we amend or modify our contractual agreements with customers. These amendments or modifications require the agreements to be reassessed under ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which can impact the classification of revenues or costs associated with the agreement. These reassessments may impact the comparability of our financial results.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Total revenues and other income decreased $489 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was driven by a contract modification that resulted in a non-cash gain on sales-type lease of $509 million in the third quarter of 2022. In addition, product sales revenue decreased as a result of lower NGL prices during the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was partially offset by rate escalations and higher throughput across the business and a $34 million increase in income from equity method investments primarily due to higher throughput.

Purchased product costs decreased $66 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower NGL prices of $276 million, partially offset by higher NGL volumes of $157 million and a change of $53 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment.

Purchases - related parties increased $78 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to Garyville Incident response costs of $63 million and increased employee costs from MPC.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized increased $6 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to refinancing maturing debt with fixed rate debt at higher interest rates in 2022 and 2023 in addition to taking on incremental debt in order to finance the redemption of the 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Series B preferred units”) in the first quarter of 2023. Other financial costs, net also benefited from higher interest earned during the third quarter of 2023. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Total revenues and other income decreased $636 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was driven by a contract modification that resulted in a non-cash gain on sales-type lease of $509 million in the third quarter of 2022 in addition to lower product sales revenue as a result of lower NGL prices during the first nine months of

2023 as compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was partially offset by rate escalations and higher throughput across the business and a $103 million increase in income from equity method investments primarily due to higher throughput.

Cost of revenues increased $42 million and rental cost of sales (including related party) decreased $61 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. These offsetting variances reflect the modification of a gathering and compression agreement in the third quarter of 2022 (“Third-Party Lease Modification”), which resulted in a change in the presentation of expenses from rental cost of sales to cost of revenues.

Purchased product costs decreased $436 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower NGL prices of $826 million, partially offset by higher volumes of $329 million and a change of $61 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment.

Purchases - related parties increased $126 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to Garyville Incident response costs of $63 million, higher volumes and pricing on associated related-party purchased product costs, and higher transportation costs.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $18 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower depreciation as a result of the derecognition of fixed assets in connection with the Third-Party Lease Modification in the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation on new assets placed in service after the third quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses increased $32 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 due to increased costs from MPC, primarily higher employee costs, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized increased $46 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to refinancing debt with fixed rate debt at higher interest rates in 2022 and 2023 in addition to taking on incremental debt in order to finance the redemption of the Series B preferred units in the first quarter of 2023. Other financial costs, net also benefited from higher interest earned during 2023. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section for further information.

Segment Results

We classify our business in the following reportable segments: L&S and G&P. We evaluate the performance of our segments using Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments. Amounts included in net income and excluded from Segment Adjusted EBITDA include: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) interest and other financial costs; (iii) income/(loss) from equity method investments; (iv) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; (v) gain on sales-type leases; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) noncontrolling interests; and (viii) other adjustments, as applicable. These items are either: (i) believed to be non-recurring in nature; (ii) not believed to be allocable or controlled by the segment; or (iii) are not tied to the operational performance of the segment.

The tables below present information about Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the reported segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Service revenue increased $92 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily driven by higher pipeline tariff rates, increased pipeline throughput, and $15 million from refining logistics fee escalations.

Sales-type lease revenue increased $11 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was due to an increase of $5 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue as a result of modifications to agreements with MPC, with the remainder being attributable to fee escalations.

Income from equity method investments increased $23 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily driven by increased throughput on equity method investment pipeline systems.

Three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to three months ended September 30, 2022

Service revenue increased $12 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to higher volumes and higher throughput fee rates in the Marcellus.

Rental income decreased $14 million and sales-type lease revenue increased $6 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The net decrease was primarily due to a contract modification that decreased the amount of revenue allocated to Rental income in Southern Appalachia beginning in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher volumes and higher throughput fee rates.

Product related revenue decreased $144 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower NGL prices across all regions of $310 million, partially offset by higher volumes in the Southwest of $175 million.

Income from equity method investments increased $11 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to higher volumes associated with several of our joint ventures in the Marcellus and Utica. Additionally,

our joint venture in the Southwest region added processing capacity in the fourth quarter of 2022 driving higher volumes over the prior period.

Other income decreased $501 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 due primarily to a non-cash gain on lease reclassification of $509 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Purchased product costs decreased $66 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower NGL prices in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia of $276 million, partially offset by higher NGL volumes in the Southwest of $157 million and a change of $53 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment.

Nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2022

Service revenue increased $92 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to higher volumes and higher throughput fee rates in the Marcellus and Rockies.

Rental income decreased $84 million and sales-type lease revenue increased $73 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to changes in the presentation of revenue between rental income and sales-type lease revenue as a result of the Third-Party Lease Modification in the third quarter of 2022. In addition, a contract modification decreased the amount of revenue allocated to Rental income in Southern Appalachia beginning in the first quarter 2023.

Product related revenue decreased $634 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower prices across all regions of $958 million, partially offset by higher volumes in the Southwest of $322 million.

Income from equity method investments increased $38 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to higher volumes associated with several of our joint ventures in the Marcellus and Utica. Additionally, our joint venture in the Southwest region added processing capacity in the fourth quarter of 2022 driving higher volumes over the prior period.

Other income decreased $463 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 due primarily to a non-cash gain on lease reclassification of $509 million in the third quarter of 2022 partially offset by the impact of asset disposals year over year.

Purchased product costs decreased $436 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower NGL prices of $826 million in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia, partially offset by higher volumes in the Southwest of $329 million and a change of $61 million due to changes in the fair value of an embedded derivative in a natural gas purchase commitment.

Purchases - related parties increased $40 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The increase is attributable to higher volumes and pricing on associated related-party purchased product costs in the Rockies and higher transportation costs from increased throughput in the Southwest.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $30 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. This was primarily due to lower depreciation as a result of the derecognition of fixed assets in connection with the Third-Party Lease Modification in the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation on new assets placed in service after the third quarter of 2022.

Seasonality

The volume of crude oil and refined products transported and stored utilizing our assets is affected by the level of supply and demand for crude oil and refined products in the markets served directly or indirectly by our assets. The majority of effects of seasonality on the L&S segment’s revenues are mitigated through the use of fee-based transportation and storage services agreements with MPC that include minimum volume commitments.

Table of Contents

In our G&P segment, we experience minimal impacts from seasonal fluctuations which impact the demand for natural gas and NGLs and the related commodity prices caused by various factors including variations in weather patterns from year to year. We are able to manage the seasonality impacts through the execution of our marketing strategy. Overall, our exposure to the seasonality fluctuations is limited due to the nature of our fee-based business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our cash and cash equivalents were $960 million at September 30, 2023 and $238 million at December 31, 2022. The change in cash and cash equivalents was due to the factors discussed below. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	3,908	$	3,651
Investing activities	(727)		(676)
Financing activities	(2,459)		(2,867)
Total	$	722	$	108

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $257 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, primarily due to improved results from operations and favorable working capital changes during the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $51 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, due to higher capital spending. The increase in the first nine months of 2023 was partially offset by higher contributions to equity method investments for the first half of 2022, which included a $60 million contribution to Dakota Access to fund our share of a scheduled debt repayment by the joint venture.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $408 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease was driven by net borrowings in the first half of 2023 as compared to net repayments in the first half of 2022, resulting in a decreased use of cash of $861 million. There were no unit repurchases in the first nine months of 2023 resulting in a $315 million lower use of cash as compared to the same period of 2022. The decrease in the use of cash was partially offset by the use of $600 million to redeem all of the outstanding Series B preferred units and by $171 million of higher distributions paid to unitholders during the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022, as a result of the 10 percent increase in our base distribution effective for the third quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted FCF and Adjusted FCF after distributions from net cash provided by operating activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022.

(1) The three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 include working capital builds of $56 million and $208 million, respectively. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 include a working capital draw of $56 million and a working capital build of $60 million, respectively.

Debt and Liquidity Overview

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of September 30, 2023, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were as follows:


Rating Agency						Rating
Moody’s						Baa2 (stable outlook)
Standard & Poor’s						BBB (stable outlook)
Fitch						BBB (stable outlook)

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities. Although it is our intention to maintain a credit profile that supports an investment grade rating, there is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. A rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of ratings from other rating agencies.

The agreements governing our debt obligations do not contain credit rating triggers that would result in the acceleration of interest, principal or other payments solely in the event that our credit ratings are downgraded. However, any downgrades in the credit ratings of our senior unsecured debt ratings to below investment grade ratings could, among other things, increase the applicable interest rates and other fees payable under the MPLX Credit Agreement and may limit our ability to obtain future financing, including refinancing existing indebtedness.

Our liquidity totaled $4.5 billion at September 30, 2023 consisting of:


	September 30, 2023
(In millions)	Total Capacity		Outstanding Borrowings		Available Capacity
MPLX Credit Agreement(1)	$	2,000	$	—	$	2,000

MPC Loan Agreement	1,500		—		1,500
Total	$	3,500	$	—	3,500
Cash and cash equivalents					960
Total liquidity					$	4,460

(1) Outstanding borrowings include less than $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and access to capital markets. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term funding requirements, including working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, contractual obligations, and quarterly cash distributions. Our material future obligations include interest on debt, payments of debt principal, purchase obligations including contracts to acquire plant, property and equipment, and our operating leases and service agreements. We may also, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes or preferred units in the open market, in tender offers, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise in such volumes, at market prices and upon such other terms as we deem appropriate and execute unit repurchases under our unit repurchase program. MPC manages our cash and cash equivalents on our behalf directly with third-party institutions as part of the treasury services that it provides to us under our omnibus agreement. From time to time, we may also consider utilizing other sources of liquidity, including the formation of joint ventures or sales of non-strategic assets.

MPLX’s credit agreement (the “MPLX Credit Agreement”) matures in July 2027 and contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative and restrictive covenants and events of default that we consider to be usual and customary for an agreement of this type. The financial covenant requires MPLX to maintain a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt as of the end of each fiscal quarter to Consolidated EBITDA (both as defined in the MPLX Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters of no greater than 5.0 to 1.0 (or 5.5 to 1.0 during the nine-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other

Table of Contents

covenants restrict us and/or certain of our subsidiaries from incurring debt, creating liens on assets and entering into transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with this financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of 3.4 to 1.0, as well as all other covenants contained in the MPLX Credit Agreement.

Equity and Preferred Units Overview

Unit Repurchase Program

On August 2, 2022, we announced the board authorization for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of MPLX common units held by the public. The authorization has no expiration date. We may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, which could include open market repurchases, negotiated block transactions, accelerated unit repurchases, tender offers or open market solicitations for units, some of which may be effected through Rule 10b5-1 plans. The timing and amount of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, and such repurchases may be discontinued at any time.

No units were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had $846 million remaining under the repurchase authorization.

Redemption of the Series B Preferred Units

On February 15, 2023, MPLX exercised its right to redeem all 600,000 outstanding Series B preferred units. MPLX paid unitholders the Series B preferred unit redemption price of $1,000 per unit. See Note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information.

Distributions

We intend to pay a minimum quarterly distribution to the holders of our common units of $0.2625 per unit, or $1.05 per unit on an annualized basis, to the extent we have sufficient cash from our operations after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of costs and expenses, including reimbursements of expenses to our general partner. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distributions is determined by our general partner, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. Such minimum distribution would equate to $263 million per quarter, or $1,051 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding at September 30, 2023.

On October 24, 2023, MPLX declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2023, totaling $851 million, or $0.850 per common unit. This distribution will be paid on November 13, 2023 to common unitholders of record on November 3, 2023. Although our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) each quarter, we do not otherwise have a legal obligation to distribute any particular amount per common unit. This rate will also be received by Series A preferred unitholders.

The allocation of total cash distributions is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. MPLX’s distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the following table represents total cash distributions applicable to the period in which the distributions were earned.

Capital Expenditures

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, enhance or maintain existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Our capital requirements consist of growth capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures. Growth capital expenditures are those incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity for volumes gathered, processed, transported or fractionated, decrease operating expenses within our facilities or increase operating income over the long term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include costs to develop or acquire additional pipeline, terminal, processing or storage capacity. In general, growth capital includes costs that are expected to generate additional or new cash flow for MPLX. In contrast, maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows.

MPLX’s initial capital investment plan for 2023 totals $950 million, net of reimbursements, which includes growth capital of $800 million and maintenance capital of $150 million. Growth capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily for gas processing plants and gathering projects in the Marcellus and Permian basins, as well as additions to our brown water marine fleet. We continuously evaluate our capital plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Our capital expenditures are shown in the table below:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions)	2023		2022

(1) Growth capital reimbursements include reimbursements from customers and our Sponsor.

(2) Total growth capital expenditures exclude $28 million of acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

(3) Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and additions to property, plant and equipment are shown as separate lines within investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(4) Growth capital reimbursements are included in changes in deferred revenue within operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Maintenance capital reimbursements are included in the Contributions from MPC line within financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of September 30, 2023, our contractual cash obligations included debt, finance and operating lease obligations, purchase obligations for services and to acquire property, plant and equipment, and other liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our debt obligations increased by $600 million due to the issuance of senior notes and use of proceeds described above in Liquidity and Capital Resources-Debt and Liquidity Overview. There were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Off-balance sheet arrangements comprise those arrangements that may potentially impact our liquidity, capital resources and results of operations, even though such arrangements are not recorded as liabilities under GAAP. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to guarantees that are described in Note 15 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and indemnities as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Although these arrangements serve a variety of our business purposes, we are not dependent on them to maintain our liquidity and capital resources, and we are not aware of any circumstances that are reasonably likely to cause the off-balance sheet arrangements to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

Transactions with Related Parties

At September 30, 2023, MPC owned our non-economic general partnership interest and held approximately 65 percent of our outstanding common units.

We provide MPC with crude oil and product pipeline based on regulated tariff/contracted rates, as well as storage, terminal, fuels distribution, and inland marine transportation services based on contracted rates. We also have agreements with MPC under which we receive fees for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets, providing management services for the marine business, and operating certain of MPC’s equity method investments. MPC provides us with certain services related to information technology, engineering, legal, accounting, treasury, human resources and other administrative services under employee services and omnibus services agreements.

The below table shows the percentage of Total revenues and other income as well as Total costs and expenses with MPC:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Total revenues and other income(1)	49	%	46	%	50	%	46	%
Total costs and expenses	29	%	24	%	28	%	24	%

(1) 2022 periods exclude gain on sales-type leases.

For further discussion of agreements and activity with MPC and related parties see Item 1. Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report.

Environmental Matters and Compliance Costs

We have incurred and may continue to incur substantial capital, operating and maintenance, and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. If these expenditures, as with all costs, are not ultimately reflected in the prices of our products and services, our operating results will be adversely affected. We believe that substantially all of our competitors must comply with similar environmental laws and regulations. However, the specific impact on each competitor may vary depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the age and location of its operating facilities.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, actual expenditures may vary as the number and scope of environmental projects are revised as a result of improved technology or changes in regulatory requirements. There have been no material changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates

As of September 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

We have not identified any recent accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption. Accounting standards are discussed in Note 2 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of commodity prices. We employ various strategies, including the use of commodity derivative instruments, to economically hedge the risks related to these price fluctuations. We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have any open financial derivative instruments to hedge the economic risks related to interest rate fluctuations; however, we continually monitor the market and our exposure and may enter into these arrangements in the future.

Commodity Price Risk

The information about commodity price risk for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 does not differ materially from that discussed in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Outstanding Derivative Contracts and Sensitivity Analysis

See Notes 9 and 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our derivative instruments, as well as the amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets and statements of income. We do not designate any of our commodity derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.

Our open derivative positions at September 30, 2023 will expire at various times through 2023. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate our exposure to market risk associated with our derivative instruments. Based on our open net positions at September 30, 2023, a 10 percent change in quoted market prices of our derivative instruments, assuming all other factors remain constant, could change the fair value of our derivative instruments and Income before income taxes by $1.0 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis of the effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point change in interest rates on outstanding third-party debt, excluding finance leases, is provided in the following table. Fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued interest approximate carrying value and are relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Accordingly, these instruments are excluded from the table.


(In millions)	Fair Value as of September 30, 2023(1)		Change in Fair Value(2)		Change in Income Before Income Taxes for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023(3)
Outstanding debt
Fixed-rate	$	17,922	$	1,363	N/A
Variable-rate(4)	$	—	$	—	$	—

(1) Fair value was based on market prices, where available, or current borrowing rates for financings with similar terms and maturities.

(2) Assumes a 100-basis-point decrease in the weighted average yield-to-maturity at September 30, 2023.

(3) Assumes a 100-basis-point change in interest rates. The change to income before income taxes was based on the weighted average balance of all outstanding variable-rate debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(4) MPLX had no outstanding borrowings on the MPLX Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2023, our portfolio of third‑party debt consisted of fixed-rate instruments and outstanding borrowings, if any, under the MPLX Credit Agreement. The fair value of our fixed-rate debt is relatively sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Our sensitivity to interest rate declines and corresponding increases in the fair value of our debt portfolio unfavorably affects our results of operations and cash flows only when we elect to repurchase or otherwise retire fixed-rate debt at prices above carrying value. Interest rate fluctuations generally do not impact the fair value of borrowings under our MPLX Credit Agreement, but may affect our results of operations and cash flows.

See Note 9 in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information on the fair value of our debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our general partner concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

Part II – Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. While it is possible that an adverse result in one or more of the lawsuits or proceedings in which we are a defendant could be material to us, based upon current information and our experience as a defendant in other matters, we believe that these lawsuits and proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than a specified threshold. We use a threshold of $1 million for this purpose.

Except as described below, there have been no material changes to the legal matters previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

Dakota Access Pipeline

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, MPLX holds a 9.19 percent indirect interest in Dakota Access, which owns and operates the Bakken Pipeline system. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued.

Edwardsville Incident

As reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, in March 2022, the State of Illinois brought an action in Madison County Circuit Court in Illinois against Marathon Pipe Line LLC (“MPL”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX, asserting various violations and demanding a permanent injunction and civil penalties in connection with a release of crude oil on the Wood River to Patoka 22" line near Edwardsville, Illinois in March 2022. In September 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice and EPA confirmed they will be pursuing federal enforcement for alleged Clean Water Act violations arising from this incident as well as other pipeline releases. We cannot currently estimate the amount of any civil penalty or the timing of the resolution of this matter but do not believe any civil penalty will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Exhibit 10.1

MPLX GP LLC AMENDED AND RESTATED NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR COMPENSATION POLICY AND DIRECTOR EQUITY AWARD TERMS

Effective October 1, 2023

Directors of MPLX GP LLC (the “Company”) who are not employed by the Company or one of its subsidiaries or affiliates (“Non-Management Directors”) shall receive compensation for their services on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and related committees as set forth below.

The equity awards set forth herein will be made from the MPLX LP 2018 Incentive Compensation Plan or any successor plan approved by the Board (the “Plan”). This Policy shall apply to those awards made in denominations of common units and other similar awards granted to Non-Management Directors under the Plan.

The Plan and this Policy are intended to conform to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Department of Treasury Regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”), and, in all respects, shall be administered and construed in accordance with such requirements.

This Policy became effective upon the filing of a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to register common units of MPLX LP authorized to be issued under the Plan.

The Non-Management Director Compensation Package of the Company is as follows:


MPLX GP LLC Non-Management Director Compensation Package
Annual Board Retainer (Cash)			$100,000
Annual Director Deferred Phantom Unit Equity Award			$125,000
Total Annual Compensation Package – Exclusive of Chair Retainers			$225,000

Audit Committee Annual Chair Retainer (Cash)			$25,000
Conflicts Committee Annual Chair Retainer (Cash)			$25,000
Lead Director Annual Retainer (Cash)			$25,000

Members of the Conflicts Committee also receive a meeting fee in the amount of $1,500 per meeting for each Conflicts Committee meeting such member attends in a calendar year in excess of six meetings.

Both the Deferred Phantom Unit Equity Awards (“Phantom Units”) and the Cash Retainer component of Non-Management Director Compensation shall be awarded or paid, as the case may be, to each Non-Management Director on a quarterly basis, with each installment being equal to one-fourth of the

annualized amount set forth above. At the commencement of each calendar quarter, each Non-Management Director then in office will automatically receive an award under the Plan of a number of Phantom Units, including any fractional Phantom Units, determined as set forth herein and such awards will bear a grant date of the first trading day of such quarter. All equity awards under this Policy shall be automatically deferred until the receiving Non-Management Director separates from service on the Board. The Board, Committee Chair and Lead Director Cash Retainer component of Non-Management Director Compensation will be paid on a quarterly basis, with a check cut or direct deposit made at the inception of each quarter in the amount one-fourth of the annualized amount set forth above.

All expenses incurred by Non-Management Directors to attend meetings of the Board and related committees, and otherwise attend to Company business will either be fully paid or reimbursed by the Company.

Any new Non-Management Director who commences service during any calendar quarter and after the beginning of such calendar quarter shall receive a pro-rated Phantom Unit award for such calendar quarter, with the grant date of such Phantom Unit award being the date of commencement of service on the Board, and a pro-rated quarterly Board, Committee and other Cash Retainer payment, as applicable. In each case, pro-ration will be calculated based on the number of days that the Non-Management Director is expected to serve on the Board during such calendar quarter relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter.

Effective October 1, 2023, the number of Phantom Units subject to each quarterly award shall be determined by dividing $31,250, or such other pro-rated amount as applicable, by the closing market price of MPLX LP common units as reported on the Consolidated Tape System on the grant date. The number of Phantom Units, including any fractional Phantom Units, will be recorded in an unfunded and unsecured deferred compensation bookkeeping account in the Non-Management Director’s name. To the extent cash distributions are paid to common unit holders of MPLX LP, additional Phantom Units, including any fractional Phantom Units, will accrue within the Director’s deferred compensation account in recognition of the value of such distributions and shall be subject to the same automatic deferral and restrictions, terms and conditions as the underlying Phantom Units.

Each Phantom Unit held in a Non-Management Director’s accumulated deferred compensation account will increase or decrease in value by the same amount and with the same frequency as the fair market value of a common unit of MPLX LP.

In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, unit equity split, dividend, combination of equity units, merger, consolidation, rights offering or any other change in the legal entity structure, the number and kind of Phantom Units credited to each Non-Management Director’s accumulated deferred compensation account shall be adjusted accordingly.

The deferred Phantom Units shall vest in full upon the Non-Management Director’s separation from service on the Board. Upon a Non-Management Director’s separation from service on the Board for any reason other than death, the Phantom Units in the Non-Management Director’s account shall be settled

on the first day of the calendar month following the expiration of 45 days after such separation from service and such Non-Management Director will receive unrestricted issued MPLX LP common units in place of the total accumulated Phantom Units in his or her deferred compensation account balance.

Upon a Non-Management Director’s separation from service on the Board on account of death, the Phantom Units in his or her deferred compensation account shall be fully vested. Unrestricted issued MPLX LP common units will be transferred to the Non-Management Director’s designated beneficiary either in February of the year following such Non-Management Director’s death or on the first day of the calendar month following the expiration of 45 days after the Non-Management Director’s death, whichever is earlier. If there is no valid beneficiary designation by the Non-Management Director, or if the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries fail to survive the Non-Management Director or otherwise fail to take the unrestricted issued MPLX LP common units, the Non-Management Director’s beneficiary shall be the Non-Management Director’s surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse, the Non-Management Director’s estate. Otherwise, Non-Management Directors may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber any portion of the Phantom Units and any attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber any portion of the Phantom Units shall have no effect. In order to ensure that MPLX GP LLC Board members bear the full risks of unit ownership, MPLX GP LLC Directors are prohibited from hedging transactions related to MPLX LP common units or pledging or creating a security interest in any MPLX LP common units.

Each Phantom Unit award made under this Policy to Non-Management Directors shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Policy and the Plan, and this Policy and the Plan shall serve as the governing award agreement and shall evidence the grants and awards made pursuant to this Policy. The Board may amend or terminate this Policy at any time as set forth under the Plan other than an amendment which would cause any outstanding award or distribution to fail to comply with Section 409A. This Policy is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and any terms or conditions not specifically set forth or provided within this Policy shall be governed by the Plan, including but not limited to the provisions required to comply with Section 409A, in particular: “separation from service” as used under this Policy shall have the same meaning as used under Section 409A; and those provisions regarding distributions to “specified employees” under Section 409A shall apply to distributions under this Policy.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Policy to the contrary, to the extent any reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Policy is nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A: (1) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; (2) the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (3) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.

Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation	Sep. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Description and Basis of Presentation	Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation Description of the Business MPLX LP is a diversified, large-cap master limited partnership formed by Marathon Petroleum Corporation that owns and operates midstream energy infrastructure and logistics assets, and provides fuels distribution services. We are engaged in the gathering, transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products and renewables; the gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs. MPLX’s principal executive office is located in Findlay, Ohio. MPLX was formed on March 27, 2012 as a Delaware limited partnership and completed its initial public offering on October 31, 2012. MPLX’s business consists of two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, refined products, other hydrocarbon-based products and renewables; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments. Basis of Presentation These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of MPLX’s management, these statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These interim consolidated financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim period financial statements and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Certain information derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, has been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as Noncontrolling interests on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in VIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
Accounting Standards	Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements In March 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to amend certain provisions of ASC 842 that apply to arrangements between related parties under common control. The ASU amends the accounting for the amortization period of leasehold improvements in common-control leases for all entities and requires certain disclosures when the lease term is shorter than the useful life of the asset. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the application of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial disclosures.

Leases [Abstract]

Lessor, Sales-type Leases

LeasesDuring the third quarter of 2022, the approved expansion of a gathering and compression system triggered the first assessment of the related third-party agreement under ASC 842. Similarly, an amendment to extend the term of our butane storage service agreement with MPC triggered the first assessment of the related-party agreement under ASC 842. As a result of the assessments during the third quarter of 2022, the leases were reclassified from operating leases to sales-type leases. Accordingly, the underlying property, plant and equipment, net, and associated deferred revenue, if any, were derecognized. The present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets were recorded as a net investment in sales-type lease during the period.

Commitments and Contingencies	9 Months Ended
Commitments and Contingencies	Sep. 30, 2023
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies MPLX is the subject of, or a party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment. Some of these matters are discussed below. For matters for which MPLX has not recorded a liability, MPLX is unable to estimate a range of possible loss because the issues involved have not been fully developed through pleadings, discovery or court proceedings. However, the ultimate resolution of some of these contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material. Environmental Matters MPLX is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal sites. Penalties may be imposed for non-compliance. Accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $23 million at September 30, 2023 and $17 million December 31, 2022. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, that may be imposed. MPLX is involved in environmental enforcement matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these environmental matters will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Other Legal Proceedings In July 2020, Tesoro High Plains Pipeline Company, LLC (“THPP”), a subsidiary of MPLX, received a Notification of Trespass Determination from the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) relating to a portion of the Tesoro High Plains Pipeline that crosses the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota. The notification demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations and assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. After subsequent appeal proceedings and in compliance with a new order issued by the BIA, in December 2020, THPP paid approximately $4 million in assessed trespass damages and ceased use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. In March 2021, the BIA issued an order purporting to vacate the BIA's prior orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass and direct the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order. In April 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (together, the “U.S. Government Parties”) challenging the March 2021 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass. On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer and counterclaims to THPP’s suit claiming THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seeking disgorgement of pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims. MPLX is also a party to a number of other lawsuits and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome and impact to MPLX cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the resolution of these other lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Guarantees related to indebtedness of equity method investees We hold a 9.19 percent indirect interest in Dakota Access, which owns and operates the Bakken Pipeline system. In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued. In May 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared. In June 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. The pipeline remains operational. We have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system. If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million. Contractual Commitments and Contingencies From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, MPLX and its affiliates provide guarantees of MPLX’s subsidiaries payment and performance obligations in the G&P segment. Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require MPLX to construct new natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of September 30, 2023, management does not believe there are any indications that MPLX will not be able to meet the construction milestones, that force majeure does not apply or that such fees and charges will otherwise be triggered.

In 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “D.D.C.”) ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“Army Corps”), which granted permits and an easement for the Bakken Pipeline system, to prepare an environmental impact statement (“EIS”) relating to an easement under Lake Oahe in North Dakota. The D.D.C. later vacated the easement. The Army Corps issued a draft EIS in September 2023 detailing various options for the easement going forward, including denying the easement, approving the easement with additional measures, rerouting the easement, or approving the easement with no changes. The Army Corps has not selected a preferred alternative, but will make a decision in its final review, after considering input from the public and other agencies. The Army Corps has not provided a definitive date as to when a final decision would be issued.In May 2021, the D.D.C. denied a renewed request for an injunction to shut down the pipeline while the EIS is being prepared. In June 2021, the D.D.C. issued an order dismissing without prejudice the tribes’ claims against the Dakota Access Pipeline. The litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the EIS, once completed, could be filed. The pipeline remains operational.We have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, has agreed to make equity contributions to the joint venture upon certain events occurring to allow the entities that own and operate the Bakken Pipeline system to satisfy their senior note payment obligations. The senior notes were issued to repay amounts owed by the pipeline companies to fund the cost of construction of the Bakken Pipeline system. If the vacatur of the easement results in a temporary shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes and any portion of the principal that matures while the pipeline is shutdown. MPLX also expects to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of any costs to remediate any deficiencies to reinstate the easement and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement results in a permanent shutdown of the pipeline, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of the cost to redeem the bonds (including the one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2023, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $170 million.
