Product
Natural Gas Gathering and Processing
MPLX operates ~12,000 miles of natural gas gathering pipelines that collect gas at wellheads and feed centralized processing plants which strip H2S/CO2 and extract ~230,000 barrels/day of natural gas liquids (NGLs) to meet pipeline-quality specs; these assets supported fee-based revenue of $1.9 billion in 2024. By late 2025 MPLX expanded processing capacity ~5% in Permian and Marcellus to handle rising producer volumes.
Crude Oil and Refined Product Transportation
MPLX operates about 11,000 miles of crude and refined product pipelines, moving roughly 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) to Marathon Petroleum Corporation refineries and third-party terminals in 2024, underpinning U.S. fuel supply reliability. These assets link major producing regions—Permian, Bakken, Gulf Coast—to refineries and distribution terminals, reducing logistics time and costs. Integrated service contracts with Marathon support stable throughput and captured margin, contributing to MPLX’s $4.3 billion 2024 adjusted EBITDA.
Storage and Terminaling Solutions
MPLX operates over 1,100 miles of pipelines and roughly 185 million barrel-days of storage capacity across tank farms and terminals, handling crude, refined products, and growing renewables volumes; this lets customers smooth inventory and meet seasonal swings.
Terminals clustered near Gulf Coast and Midwest demand centers boost logistics value to third-party customers, supporting MPLX’s 2024 terminal throughput that contributed to fee-based revenue stability—about 52% of total adjusted EBITDA in 2024.
NGL Fractionation and Marketing
Marine Logistics and Inland Waterway Services
MPLX operates one of the largest US inland marine fleets, moving light products and heavy oils and handling roughly 15–20% of its midstream volumes via waterways in 2024, offering a lower-cost alternative to pipelines and rail for bulk river shipments.
The marine arm lowers unit transport costs on routes like the Mississippi, adds routing flexibility during pipeline constraints, and complements terminal and rail assets to provide a multi-modal logistics solution that supported ~ $2.1B of transportation revenue in 2024.
- Large inland fleet: key river routes (Mississippi)
- 15–20% of midstream volumes via water (2024)
- Reduces unit costs vs rail/pipeline for bulk loads
- Supports $2.1B transport revenue (2024)
MPLX 2024: $4.3B EBITDA, 1.2–1.5MM bpd liquids, 185M barrel-days storage
MPLX products: NGLs (ethane, propane, butane), crude, refined fuels, storage services, and marine transport; 2024 volumes—NGL handling ~1.2 MM bpd, liquids pipeline ~1.5 MM bpd, gas gathering ~12,000 miles, storage ~185 MM barrel-days; 2024 financials—fee-based revenue $1.9B (gathering/processing), adjusted EBITDA $4.3B, NGL-related EBITDA ~ $3.1B, transport revenue ~$2.1B.
| Metric | 2024 |
|---|---|
| NGL handling | 1.2 MM bpd |
| Liquids throughput | 1.5 MM bpd |
| Storage | 185 M barrel-days |
| Fee rev (gather/process) | $1.9B |
| Adj. EBITDA | $4.3B |

Place
Strategic Footprint in the Permian Basin
MPLX has expanded Permian infrastructure to capture growth from North America’s busiest oil and gas play, adding ~1,200 miles of gathering lines and ~900 MMcf/d processing capacity by year-end 2025. This placement gives MPLX essential exit capacity for producers aiming at Gulf Coast markets, supporting ~600,000 barrels per day of crude takeaway and NGL flows. Regional assets include multiple high-capacity compressor stations and processing complexes at core production hubs.
Dominance in the Marcellus and Utica Shales
MPLX leads in the Marcellus and Utica, transporting ~4.2 Bcf/d capacity (2025 guidance) from PA, WV, OH to Gulf and Midwest markets, supporting ~35% of regional takeaway needs.
Its gathering and processing footprint—~3,100 miles of pipelines and ~1.2 Bcf/d processing capacity—acts as the backbone for Appalachian gas production, handling ~1.6 Tcfe/year in 2024 volumes.
Geographic concentration yields lower unit operating costs and faster turnarounds; long-term contracts with major drillers cover ~70% of throughput, strengthening producer ties and cash flow visibility.
Integrated Pipeline Interconnects
Placement of MPLX pipelines targets key hubs like Cushing, OK and the Gulf Coast to link 85% of US crude flows; intersections with third-party lines create a flexible grid able to reroute volumes, helping MPLX report utilization >92% across its pipeline system in 2024 and contribute to $1.6B in segment EBITDA that year, a clear network-driven competitive edge.
Proximity to Refining Hubs
Many MPLX terminals and pipelines sit within 20–50 miles of major refining hubs, especially Marathon Petroleum’s 1.3 million barrels-per-day refining system, securing steady feedstock demand for midstream services.
This proximity trims transportation costs and downtime, cutting logistics spend by an estimated 5–10% versus distant assets and simplifying crude and refined-product flows.
Being at these nodes lets MPLX monetize extraction, transport, storage, and distribution margins across the value chain.
- MPLX access to Marathon’s 1.3 MM bpd refineries
- 20–50 mile average distance to hubs
- Estimated 5–10% logistics cost savings
- Revenue capture at multiple value-chain points
Coastal and Inland Terminal Locations
MPLX operates coastal ports and inland river terminals at strategic hubs—ports on the Gulf and Atlantic and Mississippi River junctions—supporting multimodal flows (ship-pipeline, rail-truck) that cut handling time and cost.
These terminals sit near major metro markets, trimming last-mile transit; MPLX reported 2024 terminal throughput ~1.6 million barrels/day, improving delivery speed and margin capture.
- Coastal + river hubs enable ship ↔ pipeline transfers
- Supports rail and truck for final-mile delivery
- 2024 throughput ~1.6 million bbl/day
- Reduces transit time to major metro centers
MPLX: High-utilization midstream footprint — Permian & Appalachia hubs, 70% contracted, 5–10% logistics savings
MPLX places assets at key hubs (Permian, Cushing, Gulf, Marcellus/Utica), with ~1,200 mi Permian gathering, ~900 MMcf/d Permian processing (2025), ~3,100 mi Appalachian pipelines, ~1.2 Bcf/d processing, 4.2 Bcf/d takeaway (2025), >92% system utilization (2024), ~1.6M bbl/d terminal throughput (2024), ~70% contracted throughput, saving 5–10% logistics costs.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Permian gathering | ~1,200 mi |
| Permian processing | ~900 MMcf/d (2025) |
| Appalachian pipelines | ~3,100 mi |
| Appalachian processing | ~1.2 Bcf/d |
