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. References in this report to “MPLX LP,” “MPLX,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “ours,” “us,” or like terms refer to MPLX LP and its subsidiaries. References to “MPC” refer collectively to Marathon Petroleum Corporation as our sponsor and its subsidiaries, other than the Partnership. We are engaged in the gathering, transportation, storage ~~marketing~~ and distribution of crude oil, ~~asphalt~~refined products and ~~refined petroleum~~other hydrocarbon-based products; the gathering, processing and transportation of natural gas; and the ~~gathering,~~ transportation, fractionation, storage and marketing of NGLs. MPLX’s principal executive office is located in Findlay, Ohio.

MPLX’s business consists of 2two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, ~~asphalt~~refined products and ~~refined petroleum~~other hydrocarbon-based products; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 97 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments.

~~Impairments~~Basis of Presentation – Through the first nine months of 2021, we continued to see improvements in the environment in which our business operates as COVID-19 impacts continue to subside. The increased availability of vaccinations and easing of COVID-19 restrictions has been followed by an increase in economic activity despite the recent resurgence in COVID-19. We are unable to predict the long-term impacts COVID-19 may have on our financial position and results.

In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized impairment expense of $42 million within our G&P segment related to our continued emphasis on portfolio optimization with the anticipated divestiture of several non-core assets and the closure of other non-core assets.

During the first quarter of 2020, the overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which MPLX and its customers operate, as well as a sustained decrease in unit price, were considered triggering events at that time resulting in impairments of the carrying value of certain assets. We recognized impairments related to goodwill, certain equity method investments and certain long-lived assets (including intangibles), within our G&P segment. Many of our producer customers refined and updated production forecasts in response to the environment at that time, which impacted their expected future demand for our services, including the future utilization of our assets. Additionally, certain of our contracts have commodity price exposure, including NGL prices, which experienced increased volatility as noted above. The table below provides information related to the impairments recognized during the first quarter of 2020 as well as the corresponding footnote where additional information can be found.

(In millions) Impairment Footnote Reference
Goodwill $ 1,814 12
Equity method investments 1,264 4
Intangibles, net 177 12
Property, plant and equipment, net 174 11
Total impairments $ 3,429

~~Basis of Presentation~~ ~~– The accompanying~~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 ~~amounts~~information derived from our audited annual financial statements, prepared in ~~prior years have~~accordance with GAAP, has been ~~reclassified to conform to current year presentation.~~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, ~~2020.~~2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 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”~~Noncontrolling interests on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany ~~investments,~~ accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

2. Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted

WeASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance

In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosures for certain types of government assistance that have been accounted for by analogy to grant or contribution models. Disclosures will include information about the type of transactions, accounting and the impact on financial statements. MPLX prospectively adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022. The adoption of this standard did not ~~adopt any ASUs during the first nine months of 2021 that are expected to~~ have a material impact toon our financial statements or ~~financial statement~~ disclosures.

~~3. Acquisitions and Dispositions~~

~~Sale of Javelina Assets and Liabilities~~

On February 12, 2021, MarkWest Energy Operating Company, L.L.C., (“MarkWest Energy”) a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX, completed the sale of all of MarkWest Energy’s equity interests in MarkWest Javelina Company L.L.C., MarkWest Javelina Pipeline Company L.L.C., and MarkWest Gas Services L.L.C. (collectively, “Javelina”) pursuant to the terms of an Equity Purchase Agreement entered into with a third party on December 23, 2020. The agreement included adjustments for working capital as well as an earnout provision based on the performance of the assets. No gain or loss was recorded on the sale. The estimated value of the earnout provision was recorded as a contingent asset shown within “Other noncurrent assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021. Javelina’s assets and liabilities sold are shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” for the year ended December 31, 2020. Prior to the sale, Javelina was reported within the G&P segment.

~~Wholesale Exchange~~

On July 31, 2020, MPLX entered into a Redemption Agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Western Refining Southwest, Inc. (now known as Western Refining Southwest LLC) (“WRSW”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, pursuant to which MPLX agreed to transfer to WRSW all of the outstanding membership interests in Western Refining Wholesale, LLC (“WRW”) in exchange for the redemption of MPLX common units held by WRSW. The transaction effected the transfer to MPC of the Western wholesale distribution business that MPLX acquired as a result of its acquisition of Andeavor Logistics LP (“ANDX”). Per the terms of the Redemption Agreement, MPLX redeemed 18,582,088 common units (the “Redeemed Units”) held by WRSW on July 31, 2020. The number of Redeemed Units was calculated by dividing WRW’s aggregate valuation of $340 million by the simple average of the volume weighted average NYSE prices of an MPLX common unit for the ten trading days ending at market close on July 27, 2020. MPLX canceled the Redeemed Units immediately following the Wholesale Exchange. The carrying value of the net assets of WRW transferred to MPC was approximately $90 million as of July 31, 2020, resulting in $250 million being recorded to “Common Unit-holder MPC” within the Consolidated Statements of Equity, netted against the fair value of the Redeemed Units. Included within the $90 million carrying value of the WRW net assets was approximately $65 million of goodwill. These financial statements include the results of WRW through July 31, 2020.

(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) Investments deemed to be VIEs. Some investments included within ~~“Other”~~Other have also been deemed to be VIEs.

~~(3) Through our ownership interest in W2W Holdings LLC, we have a 15 percent equity interest in Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC.~~

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 and~~interest; as such, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and apply the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

Sherwood Midstream LLC (“Sherwood Midstream”) has been deemed the primary beneficiary of Sherwood Midstream Holdings LLC ~~(Sherwood~~(“Sherwood Midstream Holdings”) due to its controlling financial interest through its authority to manage the joint venture. As a result, Sherwood Midstream consolidates Sherwood Midstream Holdings. Therefore, MPLX also reports its portion of Sherwood Midstream Holdings’ net assets as a component of its investment in Sherwood Midstream. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, MPLX has a 24.55 percent indirect ownership interest in Sherwood Midstream Holdings through Sherwood Midstream.

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, ~~2021.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an other than temporary impairment for three joint ventures in which we have an interest as discussed in Note 1. Impairment of these investments was $1,264 million, of which $1,251 million was related to MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C. and its investment in Ohio Gathering Company, L.L.C. The impairment was recorded through “Income from equity method investments.” The impairments were largely due to a reduction in forecasted volumes gathered and processed by the systems operated by the joint ventures.

~~Summarized financial information for MPLX’s equity method investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:~~

5.4. 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

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 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 ~~various~~ agreements.

On June 30, 2022, MPLX and MPC entered into a Master Amendment to Transportation Services Agreements (“Master Amendment”). The Master Amendment extends the term of six transportation services agreements through 2032 and provides for automatic renewals of up to two additional five-year terms, subject to either party providing written notice at least six months prior to the end of the then-current term.

Related Party Loan

MPLX is party to a loan agreement (the “MPC Loan Agreement”) with MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) ~~(the “MPC Loan Agreement”)~~. Under the terms of the ~~agreement,~~MPC Loan Agreement, MPC Investment extends loans to MPLX on a revolving basis as requested by MPLX and as agreed to by MPC Investment. The borrowing capacity of the MPC Loan Agreement is $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The ~~loan agreement~~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 Investment 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 LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or such lower rate as would be applicable to such loans under the MPLX Credit Agreement as discussed in Note ~~15.~~ 11.

Related Party Expenses

MPC charges MPLX for executive management services and certain general and administrative services ~~that MPC provides~~ to MPLX under the terms of our omnibus agreements (“Omnibus charges”). Omnibus charges included in ~~“Rental~~Rental cost of sales - related ~~parties”~~parties primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s rental operations and maintenance of assets available for rent, as well as compensation expenses. Omnibus charges included in ~~“Purchases~~Purchases - related ~~parties”~~parties primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s operations and maintenance activities, as well as compensation expenses. Omnibus charges included in ~~“General~~General and administrative ~~expenses”~~expenses primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s executive management, accounting and human resources activities. MPLX also obtains employee services from MPC under employee services agreements (“ESA charges”). ESA charges for personnel directly involved in or supporting operations and maintenance activities related to rental services are

administrative expenses.” 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 lease agreements with MPC.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021, “General~~2022, General and administrative ~~expenses”~~expenses incurred from MPC totaled ~~$70~~$60 million and ~~$190~~$173 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2020, “General~~2021, General and administrative ~~expenses”~~expenses incurred from MPC totaled ~~$63~~$70 million and ~~$195~~$190 million, respectively.

Some charges incurred under the omnibus and ESA agreements are related to engineering services and are associated with assets under construction. These charges are added to ~~“Property,~~Property, plant and equipment, ~~net” on~~net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, these charges totaled $16 million and $54 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, these charges totaled $13 million and $40 million, respectively. ~~For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these charges totaled $29 million and $80 million, respectively.~~

MPC has also been advancing certain strategic priorities to lay a foundation for long-term success, including plans to optimize its assets and structurally lower costs in 2021 and beyond. In 2020, MPC approved and executed an involuntary workforce reduction plan, which together with employee reductions resulting from MPC’s indefinite idling of its Martinez, California and Gallup, New Mexico refineries, affected approximately 2,050 employees. All of the employees that conduct MPLX’s business are directly employed by affiliates of MPC, and certain of those employees were affected by MPC’s workforce reductions. During the third quarter of 2020, MPLX reimbursed MPC for $36 million related to severance and employee benefits related expenses that MPC recorded in connection with its workforce reductions. There were no such costs in the first nine months of 2021.

Related Party Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities with related parties appearing onin 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 ~~(see Note 18 for additional information)~~ 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~~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~~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.

Long-lived assets used in operations are assessed for impairment whenever changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable based on the expected undiscounted future cash flow of an asset group. For purposes of impairment evaluation, long-lived assets must be grouped at the lowest level for which independent cash flows can be identified, which is at least at the segment level and in some cases for similar assets in the same geographic region where cash flows can be separately identified. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of an asset group, fair value is calculated, and the carrying value is written down if greater than the calculated fair value.

~~During~~ In the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, we ~~identified an~~recognized impairment ~~trigger relating to asset groups~~expense of $42 million within our ~~Western~~ G&P ~~reporting unit as a result~~segment related to our continued emphasis on portfolio optimization with the divestiture of ~~significant impacts to forecasted cash flows for these asset groups resulting from~~several non-core assets and the ~~first quarter~~closure of 2020 events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1. The cash flows associated with these assets were significantly impacted by volume declines reflecting decreased forecasted producer customer production as a result of lower commodity prices. After assessing each asset group within the Western G&P reporting unit for impairment, only the East Texas G&P asset group resulted in the fair value of the underlying assets being less than the carrying value. As a result, an impairment of $174 million was recorded to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income in the first quarter of 2020. See Note 1 for discussion of 2021 impairments.other non-core assets.

~~12. Goodwill and Intangibles~~

~~Goodwill~~

During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded based on consideration of a number of first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1. Our producer customers in our Eastern G&P region reduced production forecasts and drilling activity in response to the global economic downturn. Additionally, a decline in NGL prices impacted our future revenue forecast. As a result of the interim impairment analysis, we recorded an impairment of $1,814 million within the Eastern G&P reporting unit, which was recorded to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The impairment was primarily driven by additional guidance related to the slowing of drilling activity, which reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers.

~~Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:~~

(In millions) L&S G&P Total
Gross goodwill as of December 31, 2019 $ 7,722 $ 3,141 $ 10,863

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Intangible Assets~~

During the first quarter of 2020, we also determined that an impairment analysis of intangibles within our Western G&P reporting unit was necessary. See Note 11 for additional information regarding our assessment around the Western G&P reporting unit, and more specifically our East Texas G&P asset group. The fair value of the intangibles in our East Texas G&P asset group was determined based on applying the multi-period excess earnings method, which is an income approach. Key assumptions included management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows from existing customers, customer attrition rates and the discount rate. After performing our evaluations related to the impairment of intangible assets associated with our East Texas G&P asset group during the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of $177 million to “Impairment expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income related to our customer relationships. No additional impairments have been recorded since that time.

Fair Values – Recurring

Fair value measurements and disclosures relate primarily to MPLX’s derivative positions as discussed in Note 14. The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 by fair value hierarchy level.

Fair Values – Non-recurring

Non-recurring fair value measurements and disclosures relate primarily to MPLX’s sales-type leases as discussed in Note 14. The net investment in sales-type leases is recorded at the estimated fair value of the underlying leased assets at contract modification date. The leased assets were valued using a cost method valuation approach which utilizes Level 3 inputs.

Fair Values – Reported

MPLX’s fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including ~~(1)~~ the duration of the instruments, ~~(2)~~ MPC’s investment-grade credit rating, and ~~(3)~~ the historical incurrence of and expected future insignificance of bad debt expense, which includes an evaluation of counterparty credit risk. ~~MPLX believes the carrying values of its current assets and liabilities approximate fair value.~~ The recorded value of the amounts outstanding under the bank revolving credit facility, if any, ~~approximate~~approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate that approximates current market rates.

10. Derivatives

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, MPLX had no ~~outstanding~~ commodity contracts beyond the embedded derivative discussed below.

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 ~~2022.~~2027. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for ~~2 consecutive~~ one five-year ~~terms~~term through December 2032. For accounting purposes, the natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending ~~options~~option have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its ~~options~~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~~Purchased product ~~costs” on~~costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income. For further information regarding the fair value measurement of derivative instruments, see Note ~~13.~~9. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of ~~$104~~$46 million and ~~$63~~$108 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, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, there were no derivative assets or liabilities that were offset onin 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.

Credit Agreement

~~MPLX’s amended and restated~~On July 7, 2022, MPLX entered into a new five-year credit agreement ~~(as amended, the~~(the “MPLX Credit Agreement”), to replace the previous $3.5 billion credit facility that was scheduled to expire July 2024. The new MPLX Credit Agreement matures in July 2027 and, among other things, provides for ~~borrowings~~a $2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and letter of credit issuing capacity under the facility of up to ~~$3.5~~$150 million. Letter of credit issuing capacity is included in, not in addition to, the $2 billion ~~and a term that extends to July 2024.~~ borrowing capacity. The financial covenants of the MPLX Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those contained in the previous credit agreement. Borrowings under the new 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, MPLX borrowed ~~$3.0 billion~~$900 million under the new MPLX Credit Agreement and previous credit agreement, at an average interest rate of ~~1.345~~1.454 percent, and repaid ~~$3.175 billion.~~$1,200 million. At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, MPLX had no outstanding borrowings and less than $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the new MPLX Credit Agreement, resulting in total availability of ~~$3.5 billion, or 100 percent of the borrowing capacity~~approximately $2.0 billion..

~~Floating Rate Senior Notes~~

On September 3, 2021 MPLX redeemed, at par value, all of the $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes due September 2022, which resulted in the immediate expense recognition of $2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. These costs are included on the Consolidated Statements of Income as “Other financial costs.” This redemption was funded primarily by borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes

MPLX’s senior notes, including those issued by consolidated subsidiaries, consist of various series of senior notes ~~expiring~~maturing between ~~2022~~2023 and 2058 with interest rates ranging from 1.750 percent to 5.500 percent. Interest on each series of notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on various dates depending on the series of the notes.

On ~~January 15, 2021~~March 14, 2022, MPLX issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.950 percent senior notes due March 2052 (the “2052 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The 2052 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 98.982 percent with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on September 14, 2022. The net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the MPC Loan Agreement and under the previous credit agreement.

On August 11, 2022, MPLX issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.950 percent senior notes due September 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The 2032 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.433 percent with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on March 1, 2023. The net proceeds were used to redeem all of the 3.500 percent senior notes due December 2022 and all of the 3.375 percent senior notes due March 2023, as discussed below.

On August 25, 2022, MPLX redeemed all of the ~~$750~~$500 million ~~outstanding aggregate principal amount of 5.250~~3.500 percent senior notes due ~~January 15, 2025, including approximately $42~~December 2022, $14 million of which was issued by Andeavor Logistics LP, at 100.1010 percent of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the redemption date. On September 15, 2022, MPLX redeemed all of the $500 million 3.375 percent senior notes ~~issued by ANDX~~due March 2023 at ~~a price equal to 102.625~~100 percent of the aggregate principal amount. The ~~payment~~impact of ~~$20 million related~~these debt extinguishments was not material to the note premium, offset by the immediate expense recognition of $12 million of unamortized debt premium and issuance costs, resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8 million that is included on the Consolidated Statements of ~~Income as “Other financial costs.”~~Income.

Contract Balances

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~~Other current ~~assets”~~assets and ~~“Other~~Other noncurrent ~~assets” on~~assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Contract liabilities, which we refer to as ~~“Deferred revenue”~~Deferred revenue and ~~“Long-term~~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.

“Receivables, ~~net”~~net primarily relate to our commodity sales. Portions of the ~~“Receivables, net”~~Receivables, net balance are attributed to the sale of commodity product controlled by MPLX prior to sale while a significant portion of the balance relates to the sale of commodity product on behalf of our producer customers. The sales and related ~~“Receivable, net”~~Receivables, net are commingled and excluded from the table below. MPLX remits the net sales price back to our producer customers upon completion of the sale. Each period end, certain amounts within accounts payable relate to our payments to producer customers. Such amounts are not deemed material at period end as a result of when we settle with each producer.

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 period, 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.

During the second quarter of 2021, ~~and during the first quarter of 2020,~~ reimbursements for projects and changes to minimum volume commitments at certain L&S locations were agreed to between MPLX and MPC. These reimbursements and minimum volume commitments relate to the storage, transportation and terminal services agreements between MPLX and MPC at these locations and required the embedded leases within these agreements to be ~~reassessed under ASC 842.

~~19.~~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.

At September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $22 million and ~~$17~~$23 million, respectively. 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. ~~At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no balances with MPC for indemnification of environmental costs.~~

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.

30Other 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. On appeal, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs issued an order vacating the BIA’s trespass order and remanded to the Regional Director for the BIA Great Plains Region to issue a new decision based on specific criteria. On December 15, 2020, the Regional Director of the BIA issued a new trespass notice to THPP, finding that THPP was in trespass and assessing trespass damages of approximately $4 million (including interest), which has been paid. The order also required that THPP immediately cease and desist use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. THPP has complied with the Regional Director’s December 15, 2020 notice. In March 2021, THPP received a copy of an order purporting to vacate all orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass issued by the BIA between July 2, 2020 and January 14, 2021. The order directs the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order, if necessary, after all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, landowners voluntarily dismissed the suit filed in the District of North Dakota. On April 23, 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 order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass.

~~Table~~

On February 8, 2022, the U.S. Government Parties filed their answer to THPP’s suit, asserting counterclaims for trespass and ejectment. The U.S. Government Parties claim THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline and seek disgorgement of ~~Contents~~pipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to present, removal of the pipeline and remediation. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims. Negotiations with the holders of the property rights at issue to settle this matter have been unsuccessful.

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 ~~– Over the years, MPLX has sold various assets in the normal course~~related to indebtedness of its business. Certain of the related agreements contain performance and general guarantees, including guarantees regarding inaccuracies in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, and environmental and general indemnifications that require MPLX to perform upon the occurrence of a triggering event or condition. These guarantees and indemnifications are part of the normal course of selling assets. MPLX is typically not able to calculate the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be made under such contractual provisions because of the variability inherent in the guarantees and indemnities. Most often, the nature of the guarantees and indemnities is such that there is no appropriateequity method ~~for quantifying the exposure because the underlying triggering event has little or no past experience upon which a reasonable prediction of the outcome can be based.~~investees

We hold a 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. 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 ~~ordered vacatur~~vacated the easement pending completion of the ~~easement during the pendency of the~~EIS. The EIS has been delayed and further ordered a shut down of the pipeline by August 5, 2020. On August 5, 2020, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (the “Court of Appeals”) stayed the D.D.C.’s injunction that required the pipeline be shutdown and emptied of oil by August 5, 2020. On January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals upheld the D.D.C.’s order vacating the easement while the Army Corps ~~prepares~~currently expects to release a draft EIS in the ~~EIS. The Court~~first half of ~~Appeals reversed the D.D.C.’s order to the extent it directed that the pipeline be shutdown and emptied~~2023.

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 ~~judge noted that~~litigation could be reopened or new litigation challenging the plaintiffs may move to reopen the case in the event of a violation of the court’s prior orders. Dakota Access has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the Court of Appeal’s decision upholding the D.D.C.’s order vacating the easement.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 pipeline were temporarily shut down, 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 permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit 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 1%one percent redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately ~~$230~~$170 million.

~~Other Legal Proceedings~~ – In early 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 covered the rights of way for 23 tracts of landContractual Commitments and demanded the immediate cessation of pipeline operations. The notification also assessed trespass damages of approximately $187 million. THPP appealed this determination, which triggered an automatic stay of the requested pipeline shutdown and payment. On October 29, 2020, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs issued an order vacating the BIA’s trespass order and requiring the Regional Director for the BIA Great Plains Region to issue a new decision on or before December 15 covering all 34 tracts at issue. On December 15, 2020, the Regional Director of the BIA issued a new trespass notice to THPP consistent with the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs order vacating the prior trespass order. The new order found that THPP was in trespass and assessed trespass damages of approximately $4 million (including interest), which has been paid. The order also required THPP to immediately cease and desist use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. THPP has complied with the Regional Director’s December 15, 2020 notice. On February 12, 2021, landowners filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota (the “District of North Dakota”) against THPP, the Department of the Interior, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, the Interior Board of Indian Appeals and the BIA, requesting, among other things, that decisions by the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs and the Interior Board of Indian Appeals be vacated as to the award of damages to plaintiffs. In March 2021, THPP received a copy of an order purporting to vacate all orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass issued by the BIA between July 2, 2020 and January 14, 2021. The order

~~Table of Contents~~

directs the Regional Director of the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order, if necessary, after all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, landowners voluntarily dismissed the suit filed in the District of North Dakota. On April 23, 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 challenging the March order purporting to vacate all previous orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass.Contingencies

~~We continue~~From time to ~~work towards a settlement of this matter with holders of the property rights at issue.~~

~~Contractual Commitments~~time and ~~Contingencies~~ ~~– In~~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, ~~2021,~~2022, 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.

~~NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION~~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 ~~excess/deficit~~adjusted free cash ~~flow.~~flow 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. Management also utilizes Segment Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the financial performance of our segments. The use of this measure allows investors to understand how management evaluates financial performance to make operating decisions and allocate resources.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) provision/(benefit) for income taxes; (iii) ~~amortization of deferred financing costs; (iv) (gain)/loss on extinguishment of debt; (v) non-cash equity-based compensation; (vi) impairment expense; (vii) net~~ interest and other financial costs; ~~(viii) income/(loss)~~(iv) impairment expense; (v) income from equity method investments; ~~(ix)~~(vi) distributions and adjustments related to equity method investments; ~~(x) unrealized derivative gains/(losses); (xi) acquisition costs; (xii)~~(vii) gain on sales-type leases; (viii) noncontrolling ~~interest;~~interests; and ~~(xiii)~~(ix) other adjustments as deemed necessary. 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 maintenance capital expenditures paid out; and (vi) other adjustments as deemed necessary. Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the reportable segments.

We make a distinction between realized and 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.

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; (iii) cash contributions from noncontrolling interests and (iv) cash distributions to noncontrolling interests. We define ~~excess/deficit~~adjusted free cash flow after distributions as Adjusted FCF ~~adjusted for~~less base distributions to common and preferred unitholders.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, DCF, Adjusted FCF and ~~excess/deficit~~adjusted free cash flow 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 ~~excess/deficit~~adjusted free cash flow 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 the Results of Operations section. For a reconciliation of Adjusted FCF and ~~excess/deficit~~adjusted free cash flow after distributions to their most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the Liquidity and Capital resources section.

Three months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 compared to three months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021

Total revenues and other income increased ~~$312~~$842 million in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. This was primarily ~~due~~driven by a contract modification that resulted in a non-cash gain on sales-type lease of $509 million. Also contributing to the increase were higher volumes and prices in the G&P segment of approximately ~~$300~~$221 million. There were also increased revenue from terminal activities, higher pipeline ~~volumes of $57 million, increased~~throughput, and fee escalations, as well as higher income from equity method income due to volume increases, and increased revenue from our terminal, storage and refining logistics operations due to increased throughput, storage capacity and annual rate escalations. These increases were partially offset by decreases in marine transportation fees of $27 million, $15 million from the Wholesale Exchange, and decreased pipeline tariff rates and fees of $12 million.investments.

Cost of revenues ~~decreased $25~~increased $73 million in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. This was primarily due to ~~the Wholesale Exchange, as well as~~higher expenses related to ~~lower~~ repairs and maintenance, ~~operating costs~~project spend and ~~project-related spend as a result of cost reduction initiatives.~~energy costs.

Purchased product costs increased ~~$269~~$119 million in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. This was primarily due to higher volumes of $113 million and higher prices of ~~$241~~$53 million in the ~~Southwest and Southern Appalachia and other product increases,~~G&P segment, partially offset by a decrease of $8$48 million ~~related~~due to ~~unrealized derivative losses~~changes in the ~~current year.~~fair value of our embedded derivative.

~~Table of Contents~~

Rental cost of sales and rental cost of sales - related parties decreased $8$25 million in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. This was primarily due modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below.

Purchases - related parties increased $57 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in a greater portion of costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties costs, as noted above, as well as to increased transportation, and project expenses.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $22 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to accelerated depreciation on idled assets recorded in the third quarter of 2021, and lower depreciation as a result of the derecognition of fixed assets resulting from the modification of certain lease contracts resulting in sales-type lease accounting treatment in the third quarter of 2022.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021

Total revenues and other income increased $1,658 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices of $576 million and product volumes of $342 million within the G&P segment. The increase also includes a non-cash gain on sales-type lease of $509 million as a result of a contract modification in the third quarter of 2022, as well as a $107 million increase in income from equity method investments in the 2022 period. Higher service revenue within our L&S segment of $103 million, driven primarily by higher pipeline throughput and terminal activities, also contributed to the increase in the 2022 period.

Cost of revenues increased $117 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher expenses related to repairs and maintenance, project spend, and energy costs. Higher environmental response and remediation costs also contributed to the increase.

Purchased product costs increased $635 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to higher prices of $483 million and higher volumes of $252 million, primarily in the Southwest, partially offset by a decrease of $103 million due to changes in the fair value of our embedded derivative.

Rental cost of sales and rental cost of sales - related parties decreased $38 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below, as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties. The decreases were partially offset by higher operating costs and repairs and maintenance costs.

Purchases - related parties increased ~~$10~~$132 million in the ~~third quarter~~first nine months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020.~~2021. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, as noted above. There were also increased transportation costs.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $22 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to the write-off of assets under construction related to idled MPC refineries during the third quarter of 2020 and the derecognition of assets reclassified as sales-type leases due to contract modifications. These decreases resulting from the prior year charges were partially offset by accelerated depreciation on assets permanently idled in 2021, as well as by property plant and equipment placed in service after the third quarter of 2020.

Restructuring expenses decreased $36 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was due to cost cutting measures taken during 2020 that resulted in restructuring charges.

~~Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020~~

~~Total revenues and other income increased $1,973~~$46 million in the first nine months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of 2020. This increase was primarily due to $1,264 million of impairments recorded for three joint ventures in which we have an interest. The impairments were recorded through “Income from equity method investments.” The remaining $709 million increase is primarily due to higher prices in the G&P segment of approximately $717 million and increased pipeline and terminal volumes of $198 million. There were also increases related to higher terminal storage fees, refining logistics fee escalations and higher fees from contracts in the Marcellus and Southern Appalachia regions. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $99 million related to the Wholesale Exchange, $80 million related to marine transportation fees, and $33 million related to lower pipeline tariffs and fees.

~~Cost of revenues decreased $142 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.~~2021. This was primarily due to accelerated depreciation on idled assets recorded in the ~~Wholesale Exchange as well as~~2021 period, and lower ~~repairs, maintenance, operating costs and project-related spend~~depreciation as a result of ~~cost reduction initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by higher prices~~the derecognition of fixed assets resulting from the modification of certain lease contracts resulting in ~~the Rockies.~~sales-type lease accounting treatment.

Purchased product costs increased $661 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to higher prices of $544 million in the Southwest and Southern Appalachia, an increase of $40 million related to unrealized derivative losses in the current year compared to the prior year, and other product cost increases.

Rental cost of sales and rental cost of sales - related parties decreased $37 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties, as noted below, as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties.

Purchases - related parties increased $49 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to modifications to lease contracts which resulted in costs now being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, as noted above. In addition, higher employee related costs also contributed to the increase.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $21 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. This was primarily due to the write-off of assets under construction related to idled MPC refineries during 2020 and the derecognition of assets reclassified as sales-type leases due to contract modifications. These decreases were partially offset by accelerated depreciation in the current year related to assets permanently idled in 2021, as well as property, plant and equipment placed in service after the third quarter of 2020.

Impairment expense decreased $2,123 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020 we recorded impairment expense for goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of $1,814 million, $177 million and $174 million, respectively. The impairment of goodwill related to our Eastern G&P reporting unit while the intangible asset and property, plant and equipment impairments related to certain assets in our Southwest region. The impairments were primarily driven by the slowing of drilling activity, which reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This decrease was partially offset by an impairment recorded during the second quarter of 2021 related to our continued emphasis on portfolio optimization with the anticipated divestiture of several non-core assets and the closure of other non-core assets.

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended September 30, 2021

Service revenue increased $55 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily driven by increased revenue from terminal activities, increased pipeline fees due to increased throughput outweighing lower average tariff rates, and annual fee escalations. There was also an increase of $9 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications to agreements with MPC.

Rental income increased $38 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due annual fee escalations. There was also a net increase of $3 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications to agreements with MPC.

Sales-type lease revenue - related parties decreased $14 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to a decrease of $12 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.

Income from equity methods investments increased $31 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased throughput on equity method investment pipeline systems, including the Whistler pipeline, which was placed into service in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of revenues decreased $4 million and Purchases - related parties increased $33 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Modifications to lease contracts resulted in a greater portion of costs being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, which is included in cost of revenues, causing a $7 million increase and offsetting decreases to cost of revenues. The overall net increase in the accounts was due to higher energy costs and project expense in the third quarter of 2022.

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months endedSeptember 30, 2021

Service revenue increased $103 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased revenue from terminal activities and annual fee escalations. Additionally, there was a net increase in pipeline fees due to increased throughput outweighing lower average tariff rates. There was also an increase of $9 million from changes in the presentation of revenue between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications to agreements with MPC.

Rental income decreased $4 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was due to a net decrease of $49 million from changes in the presentation of lease income between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue as a result of modifications to lease contracts. The decrease was partially offset by increased storage fees and fee escalations.

Sales-type lease revenue - related parties increased $38 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to an increase of $40 million from changes in the presentation of lease income between service revenue, rental income and sales-type lease revenue driven by modifications of lease contracts.

Income from equity methods investments increased $71 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to increased throughput on equity method investment pipeline systems, including the Whistler pipeline which was placed into service in the third quarter of 2021.

Cost of revenues increased $9 million and Purchases - related parties increased $87 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. Modifications to lease contracts resulted in a greater portion of costs being recorded to purchases - related parties as opposed to rental cost of sales - related parties, which is included in cost of revenues, causing a $47 million increase and offsetting decreases to cost of revenues. The overall increase in the accounts was driven by higher project expense and higher environmental response and remediation costs compared to the first nine months of 2021, partially offset by decreased employee-related costs from MPC.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $27 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due to the derecognition of fixed assets due to the modification of certain lease contracts and accelerated depreciation on refining logistics assets at MPC’s idled Gallup refinery.

This was primarily due to accelerated depreciation on idled assets recorded in the third quarter of 2021, and lower depreciation as a result of the derecognition of fixed assets as a result of a lease reclassification in the third quarter of 2022. This decrease was partially offset by depreciation on new assets placed in service after the third quarter of 2020 and accelerated depreciation on idled assets, partially offset by the impairment of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment during the first quarter of 2020 and lower depreciation as a result of divestitures.2021.

Impairment expense decreased ~~$2,123~~$42 million in the first nine months of ~~2021~~2022 compared to the same period of ~~2020. During the first quarter of 2020 we~~2021 due to impairments recorded impairment expense for goodwill, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of $1,814 million, $177 million and $174 million, respectively. The impairment of goodwill related to our Eastern G&P reporting unit while the intangible asset and property, plant and equipment impairments relate to certain assets in our Southwest region. The impairments were primarily driven by the slowing of drilling activity, which reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This decrease was partially offset by an impairment recorded during the second quarter of 2021 related to our continued emphasis on portfolio optimization with the ~~anticipated divestiture of several non-core assets and the~~ closure of ~~other~~certain non-core assets.

~~Restructuring expenses decreased $9 million in the first nine months~~

Seasonality

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

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 and via our storage capabilities. Overall, our exposure to the seasonality fluctuations is declining due to our growth in ~~our~~ fee-based business.

Debt and Liquidity Overview

MPLX Credit Agreement

On ~~September 3, 2021~~July 7, 2022, MPLX ~~redeemed all~~entered into a new five-year credit agreement (the “MPLX Credit Agreement”) to replace the previous $3.5 billion credit facility that was scheduled to expire July 2024. The new MPLX Credit Agreement matures in July 2027 and, among other things, provides for a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and letter of credit issuing capacity of up to $150 million. Letter of credit issuing capacity is included in, not in addition to, the $2.0 billion borrowing capacity. The financial covenants of the new MPLX Credit Agreement are substantially the same as those contained in the previous credit agreement. 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.

Fixed Rate Senior Notes

On March 14, 2022, MPLX issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.950 percent senior notes due March 2052 (the “2052 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The 2052 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 98.982 percent with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on September 14, 2022. The net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under the intercompany loan agreement with MPC and under the previous credit agreement.

On August 11, 2022, MPLX issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of ~~floating rate~~4.950 percent senior notes due September 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”) in an underwritten public offering. The 2032 Senior Notes were offered at a price to the public of 99.433 percent with interest payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on March 1, 2023. The net proceeds were used to redeem all of the 3.500 percent senior notes due December 2022 and all of the 3.375 percent senior notes due March 2023, as discussed below.

On August 25, 2022, MPLX redeemed all of the $500 million 3.500 percent senior notes due December 2022, $14 million of which was issued by Andeavor Logistics LP, at 100.1010 percent of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the redemption date. On September 15, 2022, MPLX redeemed all of the $500 million 3.375 percent senior notes due March 2023 at 100 percent of the ~~principal amount.~~

~~On January 15, 2021, MPLX redeemed $750 million outstanding~~ aggregate principal ~~amount~~amount. The impact of ~~5.250 percent senior notes due January 2025, at 102.625 percent~~these debt extinguishments was not material to the Consolidated Statements of ~~the principal amount.~~

~~Our outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consist of the following:~~

Our intention is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the credit ratings on our senior unsecured debt were ~~at or above investment grade level~~ as follows:


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

Table of Contents

The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies. 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.

The MPLX Credit Agreement 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 six-month period following certain acquisitions). Consolidated EBITDA is subject to adjustments for certain acquisitions completed and capital projects undertaken during the relevant period. Other 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, ~~2021,~~2022, we were in compliance with the covenants, including the financial covenant with a ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA of ~~3.64~~3.50 to 1.0.

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.

(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 the MPC Loan Agreement, the MPLX Credit Agreement 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. We may also, from time to time, repurchase our senior notes or preferred ~~shares~~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.~~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.

Unit Repurchase Program

On November 2, 2020, we announced the board authorization of a unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $1

billion of MPLX’s common units held by the public. On August 2, 2022 we announced the board authorization for the repurchase of up to an additional $1.0 billion of MPLX common units held by the public. The authorizations have no expiration date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased approximately 10 million common units at an average cost per unit of $31.98 and paid $315 million of cash. As of September 30, 2022, we had repurchased a total of approximately 35 million units at an average cost per unit of $28.63 for a total of $994 million under the initial unit repurchase program, which reflects the

repurchase of 532,326 common units for $16 million that were transacted in the third quarter of 2022 and settled in the fourth quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, we had $1,006 million remaining under the repurchase authorizations.

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.

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 ~~$268~~$264 million per quarter, or ~~$1,072~~$1,056 million per year, based on the number of common units outstanding at September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

On November ~~2, 2021,~~1, 2022, MPLX declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, totaling ~~$1,305~~$777 million, or ~~$1.28~~$0.7750 per common unit, consisting of a base distribution amount of $0.705 per common unit and a special distribution amount of $0.575 per common unit (the “Special Distribution Amount”) as supported by our year-to-date cash flow.unit. This distribution will be paid on November ~~19, 2021~~22, 2022 to common unitholders of record on November ~~12, 2021.~~15, 2022. Although our partnership agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash 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.

Series B preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a fixed distribution of $68.75 per unit, per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, or the first business day thereafter, up to and including February 15, 2023. After February 15, 2023, the holders of Series B preferred units are entitled to receive cumulative, quarterly distributions payable in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year, or the first business day thereafter, based on a floating annual rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 4.652 percent, in each case assuming a distribution is declared by the board of directors. Accordingly, a cash distribution ~~payment totaling~~payments of $21 million ~~was~~were paid to Series B unitholders on February 15, 2022 and August ~~16, 2021.~~

the Series B preferred units, at any time, on or after February 15, 2023 at a redemption price of $1,000 per unit plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions up to the redemption date.

The allocation of total cash distributions is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. 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 maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures. Examples of 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. In contrast, growth capital expenditures are those incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity ~~to increase~~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 ~~the acquisition of equipment~~costs to develop or ~~the construction costs associated with new well connections, and the development of~~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.

MPLX’s initial capital investment plan for ~~2021~~2022 totaled ~~approximately $1.0 billion~~$900 million, which includes growth capital of $700 million, maintenance capital of $140 million and a $60 million investment in an unconsolidated affiliate for ~~capital projects and investments, excluding capitalized interest, and is currently estimated to be approximately $650 million. We continuously evaluate~~the repayment of our ~~capital investment plan and make changes as conditions warrant.~~9.19 percent indirect share of the Bakken Pipeline joint venture’s debt due in 2022. Growth capital expenditures and investments in affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 were primarily for gas gathering, processing and ~~processing~~de-ethanization projects in our Bakken, Marcellus, and Southwest ~~regions~~basins and the expansion of our crude gathering ~~systems.~~systems and long-haul pipeline investments in the Permian and Bakken basins. Spending for the period also included the $60 million contribution to our Bakken Pipeline joint venture to fund our share of a debt repayment by the joint venture. We continuously evaluate our capital plan and make changes as conditions warrant.

Contractual Cash Obligations

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our contractual cash obligations included ~~third-party and related party~~ 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, ~~2021,~~2022, our ~~third-party long-term~~ debt obligations decreased by ~~$1,925~~$250 million, primarily due to the ~~redemption~~repayment of ~~$750 million~~amounts outstanding ~~aggregate principal amount of 5.250 percent senior notes due January 2025 discussed above, the redemption of the floating rate senior notes due September 2022, as well as net repayments~~ on the ~~MPLX Credit Agreement.Additionally, borrowings on~~previous credit agreement, the MPC Loan Agreement, ~~increased to fund~~and the ~~floating rate~~redemption of senior notes. These items were funded with proceeds from the issuance of senior notes, ~~redemption.~~discussed above. There were no other material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

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 U.S. GAAP. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are limited to ~~indemnities and~~ guarantees that are described in Note ~~19.~~ 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, 2021.

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~~Transactions with Related Parties

At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, MPC owned our non-economic general partnership interest and held approximately 6364 percent of our outstanding common units.

We provide MPC with crude oil, ~~and~~ product pipeline, and trucking transportation services based on regulated tariff/contracted rates, as well as storage, terminal, fuels distribution, and inland marine transportation services based on contracted rates. We

~~Table of Contents~~

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~~Total revenues and other ~~income”~~income as well as ~~“Total~~Total costs and ~~expenses”~~expenses with MPC:

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, ~~2020~~2021 and Note ~~5 of~~4 to the ~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements~~unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report.

~~ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND COMPLIANCE COSTS~~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 ~~of September 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs since~~previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, environmental remediation costs increased due to a release of crude oil on our pipeline near Edwardsville, Illinois in March of 2022. There have been no additional significant changes to our environmental matters and compliance costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

~~CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES~~Critical Accounting Estimates

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, 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, ~~2020.~~2021.

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 potential 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, ~~2021,~~2022, we did not have any open financial or commodity derivative instruments to hedge the economic risks related to interest rate fluctuations or the volatility of commodity prices, respectively; 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, ~~2021~~2022 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, ~~2020.~~2021.

Outstanding Derivative Contracts

~~We have a~~See Notes 9 and 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for more information about the fair value measurement of our natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement with a producer customer in the Southern Appalachian region expiring in December 2022. The customer has the unilateral option to extend the agreement for two consecutive five-year terms through December 2032. For accounting purposes, the natural gas purchase commitment and the term extending options have been aggregated into a single compound embedded derivative. The probability of the customer exercising its options 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~~as well as the ~~difference between the contractual and index pricing and the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend. The changes in fair value are~~amounts recorded in ~~earnings through “Purchased product costs” on the Consolidated Statements~~our consolidated balance sheets and statements of Income. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $104 million and $63 million, respectively. We evaluate our portfolio of commodity derivative instruments on an ongoing basis and add or revise strategies in anticipation of changes in market conditions and in risk profiles.income.

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 ~~outstanding~~ 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.

(4) MPLX ~~redeemed the outstanding floating rate senior notes on September 3, 2021 and~~ had no outstanding borrowings on the ~~Revolver~~MPLX Credit Agreement as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

At September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, our portfolio of ~~long-term~~third‑party debt consisted of fixed-rate instruments and ~~also provides for~~outstanding borrowings, if any, under ~~our revolving credit facility.~~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 ~~bank revolving credit facility,~~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, ~~2021,~~2022, the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, 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.

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 $300,000.

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, ~~2020, as updated~~2021 or in our ~~subsequent~~ Quarterly Reports on Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

Dakota Access Pipeline

~~We hold~~As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, MPLX holds a 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. 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 ordered vacatur of the easement during the pendency of the EIS. The EIS has been delayed and ~~further ordered~~the Army Corps currently expects to release a ~~shut down~~draft EIS in the first half of 2023.

Tesoro High Plains Pipeline

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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. On appeal, the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs issued an order vacating the BIA’s trespass order and remanded to the Regional Director for the BIA Great Plains Region to issue a new decision based on specific criteria. On December 15, 2020, the Regional Director of the BIA issued a new trespass notice to THPP, finding that THPP was in trespass and assessing trespass damages of approximately $4 million (including interest), which has been paid. The order also required that THPP immediately cease and desist use of the portion of the pipeline that crosses the property at issue. THPP has complied with the Regional Director’s December 15, 2020 notice. In March 2021, THPP received a copy of an order purporting to vacate all orders related to THPP’s alleged trespass issued by ~~August 5, 2020. On August 5,~~the BIA between July 2, 2020 and January 14, 2021. The order directs the ~~U.S. Court~~Regional Director of ~~Appeals for~~the BIA to reconsider the issue of THPP’s alleged trespass and issue a new order, if necessary, after all interested parties have had an opportunity to be heard. Subsequently, landowners voluntarily dismissed the suit filed in the District of ~~Columbia (the “Court~~North Dakota. On April 23, 2021, THPP filed a lawsuit in the District of ~~Appeals”~~North Dakota against the United States of America, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the BIA (together, the “U.S. Government Parties”) ~~stayed~~challenging the ~~D.D.C.’s injunction that required~~March 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 to THPP’s suit, asserting counterclaims for trespass and ejectment. The U.S. Government Parties claim THPP is in continued trespass with respect to the pipeline ~~be shutdown~~ and ~~emptied~~seek disgorgement of oil by August 5, 2020. On January 26, 2021, the Court of Appeals upheld the D.D.C.’s order vacating the easement while the Army Corps prepares the EIS. The Court of Appeals reversed the D.D.C.’s orderpipeline profits from June 1, 2013 to the extent it directed that the pipeline be shutdown and emptied of oil. 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 judge noted that the plaintiffs may move to reopen the case in the event of a violation of the court’s prior orders. Dakota Access has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the Court of Appeal’s decision upholding the D.D.C.’s order vacating the easement. 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 pipeline were temporarily shut down, 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 permit and/or return the pipeline into operation. If the vacatur of the easement permit results in a permanent shutdownpresent, removal of the pipeline ~~MPLX would have~~and remediation. We intend to ~~contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share~~vigorously defend ourselves against these counterclaims. Negotiations with the holders of the ~~cost~~property rights at issue to redeem the bonds (including the 1% redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest. As of September 30, 2021, our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $230 million.settle this matter have been unsuccessful.

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, ~~2020.~~2021.
