Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	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 transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum 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 two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum products; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments. On July 30, 2019, MPLX completed its acquisition by merger (the “Merger”) of Andeavor Logistics LP (“ANDX”). At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Merger. Impairments – The recent outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 has resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing have restricted travel, many business operations, public gatherings and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. This has significantly reduced global economic activity and resulted in a decline in the demand for the midstream services we provide. Macroeconomic conditions and global geopolitical events have also resulted in significant price volatility related to those aforementioned products. The overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which MPLX and our customers operate, as well as a sustained decrease in unit price, were considered triggering events resulting in impairments of the carrying value of certain assets. During the first quarter of 2020 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 have continued to refine and update production forecasts in response to the current environment, which has impacted their current and 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 have 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 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 in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In relation to the Merger described above and in Note 3 , ANDX’s assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Merger are collectively included in what we refer to as the “Predecessor” from October 1, 2018, which was the date that MPC acquired Andeavor. MPLX’s acquisition of ANDX is considered a transfer between entities under common control due to MPC’s relationship with ANDX prior to the Merger. As an entity under common control with MPC, MPLX recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on its consolidated balance sheets at MPC’s historical carrying value. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control require prior periods to be retrospectively adjusted for those dates that the entity was under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of MPLX LP have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of ANDX beginning October 1, 2018. MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as “Noncontrolling interests” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in VIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method. In preparing the Consolidated Statements of Equity, net income attributable to MPLX LP is allocated to Series A and Series B preferred unitholders based on a fixed distribution schedule. Distributions, although earned, are not accrued until declared. The allocation of net income attributable to MPLX LP for purposes of calculating net income per limited partner unit is described in Note 6 .

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Recently Adopted ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective transition method. This ASU requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, which may result in earlier recognition of losses. The ASU requires the company to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements. We are exposed to credit losses, primarily as a result of the midstream services that we provide. We assess each customer’s ability to pay through our credit review process, which considers various factors such as external credit ratings; a review of financial statements to determine liquidity, leverage, trends and business specific risks; market information; pay history and our business strategy. We monitor our ongoing credit exposure through timely review of customer payment activity. At March 31, 2020, we reported $522 million of accounts receivable, net of allowances of $1 million . We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet exposures, such as guarantees of joint venture debt. See Note 21 for more information on these off-balance sheet exposures. We also adopted the following ASU during the first three months of 2020, which did not have a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU Effective Date 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement January 1, 2020

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Acquisition of Andeavor Logistics LP As previously disclosed, on May 7, 2019, ANDX, Tesoro Logistics GP, LLC, then the general partner of ANDX (“TLGP”), MPLX, MPLX GP LLC, the general partner of MPLX (“MPLX GP”), and MPLX MAX LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) that provided for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into ANDX. On July 30, 2019, the Merger was completed, and ANDX survived the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of MPLX. At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. See Note 7 for information on units issued in connection with the Merger. Additionally, as a result of the Merger, each ANDX TexNew Mex Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Western Refining Southwest, Inc. (“Southwest, Inc.”), a wholly owned subsidiary of MPC, as the holder of all such units, to receive a unit representing a substantially equivalent limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX TexNew Mex Units”). By virtue of the conversion, all ANDX TexNew Mex Units were cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. The MPLX TexNew Mex Units are a new class of units in MPLX substantially equivalent to the ANDX TexNew Mex Units, including substantially equivalent rights, powers, duties and obligations that the ANDX TexNew Mex Units had immediately prior to the closing of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into a right for Southwest Inc., as the holder of all such interest, to receive a substantially equivalent special limited partner interest in MPLX (the “MPLX Special Limited Partner Interest”). By virtue of the conversion, the ANDX Special Limited Partner Interest was cancelled and ceased to exist as of the effective time of the Merger. For information on ANDX’s preferred units, please see Note 7 . The assets of ANDX consist of a network of owned and operated crude oil, refined product and natural gas pipelines; crude oil and water gathering systems; refining logistics assets; terminals with crude oil and refined products storage capacity; rail facilities; marine terminals including storage; bulk petroleum distribution facilities; a trucking fleet; and natural gas processing and fractionation systems and complexes. The assets are located in the western and inland regions of the United States and complement MPLX’s existing business and assets. MPC accounted for its October 1, 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (including acquiring control of ANDX), using the acquisition method of accounting, which required Andeavor assets and liabilities to be recorded by MPC at the acquisition date fair value. The Merger was closed on July 30, 2019, and the results of ANDX have been incorporated into the results of MPLX as of October 1, 2018, which is the date that common control was established. As a result of MPC’s relationship with both MPLX and ANDX, the Merger has been treated as a common control transaction, which requires the recasting of MPLX’s historical results and the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using MPC’s historical carrying value. We recognized $1 million in acquisition costs during the first quarter of 2019 related to the Merger, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $589 million of revenues and other income and $180 million

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments and Noncontrolling Interests [Text Block]	Investments and Noncontrolling Interests The following table presents MPLX’s equity method investments at the dates indicated: Ownership as of Carrying value at March 31, March 31, December 31, (In millions, except ownership percentages) 2020 2020 2019 L&S MarEn Bakken Company LLC 25% $ 479 $ 481 Illinois Extension Pipeline Company, L.L.C. 35% 271 265 LOOP LLC 41% 239 238 Andeavor Logistics Rio Pipeline LLC (1) 67% 200 202 Minnesota Pipe Line Company, LLC 17% 190 190 Whistler Pipeline LLC (1) 38% 163 134 W2W Holdings LLC (1)(2) 50% 76 — Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC (1)(2) 15% — 126 Explorer Pipeline Company 25% 81 83 Other (1) 55 55 Total L&S 1,754 1,774 G&P MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C.

Some investments included within “Other” have also been deemed to be VIE’s. (2) During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we contributed our ownership in Wink to Webster Pipeline LLC to W2W Holdings LLC. For those entities that have been deemed to be VIE’s, 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, since 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, 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 has been deemed the primary beneficiary of 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 March 31, 2020 , MPLX has a 24.1 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 . During the first quarter of 2020, we assessed certain of our equity method investments for impairment as a result of a number of first quarter events and circumstances as discussed in Note 1 . During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an other than temporary impairment for three joint ventures in which we have an interest. 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 fair value of the investments was determined based upon applying the discounted cash flow method, which is an income approach. The discounted cash flow fair value estimate is based on known or knowable information at the interim measurement date. The significant assumptions that were used to develop the estimate of the fair value under the discounted cash flow method include management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows, including prices and volumes, the weighted average cost of capital and the long-term growth rate. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As such, the fair value of these equity method investments represents a Level 3 measurement. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. 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 three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 (In millions) VIEs Non-VIEs Total Revenues and other income $ (217 ) $ 337 $ 120 Costs and expenses 104 132 236 Income from operations (321 ) 205 (116 ) Net income (337 ) 186 (151 ) (Loss)/income from equity method investments (1) $ (1,222 ) $ 38 $ (1,184 ) (1) Includes the impact of any basis differential amortization or accretion in addition to the impairment of $1,264 million .

At December 31, 2019 , the carrying value of MPLX’s equity method investments in the G&P segment exceeded the underlying net assets of its investees by approximately $1.0 billion . As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the carrying value of MPLX’s equity method investments in the L&S segment exceeded the underlying net assets of its investees by $330 million and $329 million , respectively. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the G&P basis difference was being amortized into net income over the remaining estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, except for $31 million and $498 million of excess related to goodwill, respectively. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the L&S basis difference was being amortized into net income over the remaining estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, except for $167 million

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Agreements and Transactions	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, terminal, fuels distribution, marketing, storage, management, operational and other services to MPC. MPC has committed to provide MPLX with minimum throughput volumes on crude oil and refined products and other fees for storage capacity; operating and management fees; as well as reimbursements for certain direct and indirect costs. MPC has also committed to provide a fixed fee for 100 percent of available capacity for boats, barges and third-party chartered equipment under the marine transportation service agreement. MPLX also has a keep-whole commodity agreement with MPC under which MPC pays us a processing fee for NGLs related to keep-whole agreements and delivers shrink gas to the producers on our 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. Related Party Loan MPLX is party to a loan agreement with MPC Investment LLC (“MPC Investment”) (the “MPC Loan Agreement”). Under the terms of the agreement, MPC Investment makes a loan or loans to MPLX on a revolving basis as requested by MPLX and as agreed to by MPC Investment. In connection with the Merger, on July 31, 2019, MPLX and MPC Investment amended and restated the MPC Loan Agreement to increase the borrowing capacity under the MPC Loan Agreement to $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of all loans outstanding at any one time. The entire unpaid principal amount of the loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts (if any), shall 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 July 31, 2024 . Borrowings under the MPC Loan Agreement prior to July 31, 2019 bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50 percent while borrowings as of and after July 31, 2019 bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 percent or such lower rate as would be applicable to such loans under the MPLX Credit Agreement. Activity on the MPC Loan Agreement was as follows: (In millions) Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Year Ended December 31, 2019 Borrowings $ 1,667 $ 8,540 Average interest rate of borrowings 2.833 % 3.441 % Repayments $ 2,261 $ 7,946 Outstanding balance at end of period (1) $ — $ 594 (1) Included in “Current liabilities - related parties” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the Merger, ANDX was also party to a loan agreement with MPC (“ANDX-MPC Loan Agreement”). This facility was entered into on December 21, 2018, with a borrowing capacity of $500 million . In connection with the Merger, on July 31, 2019, MPLX repaid the entire outstanding balance and terminated the ANDX-MPC Loan Agreement. Activity on the ANDX-MPC Loan Agreement prior to the Merger was as follows: (In millions) Year Ended December 31, 2019 Borrowings $ 773 Average interest rate of borrowings 4.249 % Repayments $ 773 Outstanding balance at end of period $ — Related Party Revenue Related party sales to MPC consist of crude oil and refined products pipeline and trucking transportation services based on tariff/contracted rates; storage, terminal and fuels distribution services based on contracted rates; and marine transportation services. Related party sales to MPC also consist of revenue related to volume deficiency credits. MPLX also has operating agreements with MPC under which it receives a fee for operating MPC’s retained pipeline assets and a fixed annual fee for providing oversight and management services required to run the marine business. MPLX also receives management fee revenue for engineering, construction and administrative services for operating certain of its equity method investments. Revenue received from related parties included on the Consolidated Statements of Income was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2020 2019 Service revenues - related parties MPC $ 927 $ 803 Other 1 — Total Service revenue - related parties 928 803 Rental income - related parties MPC 234 325 Product sales - related parties (1) MPC 33 41 Other income - related parties MPC 48 10 Other 16 16 Total Other income - related parties $ 64 $ 26 (1) There were additional product sales to MPC that net to zero within the consolidated financial statements as the transactions are recorded net due to the terms of the agreements under which such product was sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 , these sales totaled $173 million . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , these sales totaled $223 million . Related Party Expenses MPC provides executive management services and certain general and administrative services to MPLX under the terms of our omnibus agreements (“Omnibus charges”). Omnibus charges included in “Rental cost of sales - related parties” primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s rental operations and maintenance of assets available for rent. Omnibus charges included in “Purchases - related parties” primarily relate to services that support MPLX’s operations and maintenance activities, as well as compensation expenses. Omnibus charges included in “General and administrative 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 classified as “Rental cost of sales - related parties.” ESA charges for personnel directly involved in or supporting operations and maintenance activities related to other services are classified as “Purchases - related parties.” ESA charges for personnel involved in executive management, accounting and human resources activities are classified as “General and 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 rent and lease agreements with MPC. Expenses incurred from MPC under the omnibus and employee services agreements as well as other purchases from MPC included on the Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2020 2019 Rental cost of sales - related parties MPC $ 46 $ 43 Purchases - related parties MPC 271 273 Other 5 5 Total Purchase - related parties 276 278 General and administrative expenses MPC $ 64 $ 62 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, plant and equipment, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, these charges totaled $36 million and $41 million , respectively. Related Party Assets and Liabilities Assets and liabilities with related parties appearing on 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 20 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 are recorded as “Current liabilities - related parties.” In many cases, MPC may then apply the amount of any such deficiency payments as a credit for volumes in excess of its minimum volume commitment in future periods under the terms of the applicable agreements. MPLX recognizes related party revenues for the deficiency payments when credits are used for volumes in excess of minimum quarterly volume commitments, where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods or upon the expiration of the credits. The use or expiration of the credits is a decrease in “Current liabilities - related parties.” In addition, capital projects MPLX is undertaking at the request of MPC are reimbursed in cash and recognized in income over the remaining term of the applicable agreements or in some cases as an equity contribution from its sponsor.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity The changes in the number of common units outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2020 are summarized below: (In units) Common Balance at December 31, 2019 1,058,355,471 Unit-based compensation awards 151,878 Balance at March 31, 2020 1,058,507,349 Merger In connection with the Merger and as discussed in Note 3 , each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units while ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. This resulted in the issuance of MPLX common units of approximately 102 million units to public unitholders and approximately 161 million units to MPC on July 30, 2019. Series B Preferred Units Prior to the Merger, ANDX had outstanding 600,000 units of 6.875 percent Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units representing limited partner interests of ANDX at a price to the public of $1,000 per unit. Upon completion of the Merger, the ANDX preferred units converted to preferred units of MPLX representing substantially equivalent limited partnership interests in MPLX (the “Series B preferred units”). The Series B preferred units are pari passu with the Series A preferred units with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation. Distributions on the Series B preferred units are payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day, or the first business day thereafter, of February and August of each year up to and including February 15, 2023. 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 . The changes in the Series B preferred unit balance from December 31, 2019 through March 31, 2020 are summarized below. Series B preferred units are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity within “Equity of Predecessor” for the period prior to the Merger and within “Series B preferred units” for the period following the Merger. (In millions) Series B Preferred Units Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 611 Net income allocated 11 Distributions received by Series B preferred unitholders (21 ) Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 601 TexNew Mex Units - Prior to the Merger, MPC held 80,000 Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units, representing all outstanding units. At the time of the Merger, each Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex unit was automatically converted into TexNew Mex units of MPLX with substantially the same rights and obligations as the Andeavor Logistics TexNew Mex units. The TexNew Mex units represent the right to receive quarterly distribution payments in an amount calculated using the distributable cash flow generated by a particular portion of the TexNew Mex pipeline system, in excess of a base amount and adjusted for previously agreed upon stipulations and contingencies. In 2019, distributions of less than $1 million were earned by the TexNew Mex units, which were declared in January of 2020 and paid in February 2020. No distributions were earned by the TexNew Mex units in the first quarter of 2020 . Cash distributions – In accordance with the MPLX partnership agreement, on April 28, 2020 , MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution for the first quarter of 2020 , totaling $728 million , or $0.6875 per common unit. This rate will also be received by Series A preferred unitholders. These distributions will be paid on May 15, 2020 to common unitholders of record on May 8, 2020 . 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. MPLX made a cash distribution to holders of the Series B preferred unitholders in February 2020 for approximately $21 million . Quarterly distributions for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 are summarized below: (Per common unit) 2020 2019 March 31, $ 0.6875 $ 0.6575 The allocation of total quarterly cash distributions to limited and preferred unitholders is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 . 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. Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 2020 2019 (1) Common and preferred unit distributions: Common unitholders, includes common units of general partner $ 728 $ 523 Series A preferred unit distributions 20 20 Series B preferred unit distributions 11 — Total cash distributions declared $ 759 $ 543 (1) The distribution on common units for the three months ended March 31, 2019 does not include the impact of the issuance of units in connection with the merger.

Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Redeemable Preferred Units	Series A Preferred Units On May 13, 2016, MPLX LP issued approximately 30.8 million 6.5 percent Series A Convertible preferred units for a cash purchase price of $32.50 per unit. The Series A preferred units rank senior to all common units and pari passu with all Series B preferred units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation. The holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to receive, when and if declared by the board, a quarterly distribution equal to the greater of $0.528125 per unit or the amount of distributions they would have received on an as converted basis. On April 28, 2020 , MPLX declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.6875 per common unit for the first quarter of 2020 . Holders of the Series A preferred units will receive the common unit rate in lieu of the lower $0.528125 base amount. The holders may convert their Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in full or in part, subject to minimum conversion amounts and conditions. After the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, MPLX may convert the Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum conversion amounts and conditions, if the closing price of MPLX LP common units is greater than $48.75 for the 20-day trading period immediately preceding the conversion notice date. The conversion rate for the Series A preferred units shall be the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) $32.50, plus (ii) any unpaid cash distributions on the applicable preferred unit, divided by (b) $32.50, subject to adjustment for unit distributions, unit splits and similar transactions. The holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common unitholders and have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the MPLX partnership agreement that would adversely affect any rights, preferences or privileges of the preferred units. In addition, upon certain events involving a change of control, the holders of preferred units may elect, among other potential elections, to convert their Series A preferred units to common units at the then change of control conversion rate. Approximately 29.6 million Series A preferred units remaining outstanding as of March 31, 2020 . The changes in the redeemable preferred balance from December 31, 2019 through March 31, 2020 are summarized below: (In millions) Redeemable Series A Preferred Units Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 968 Net income allocated 20 Distributions received by Series A preferred unitholders (20 ) Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 968 The Series A preferred units are considered redeemable securities under GAAP due to the existence of redemption provisions upon a deemed liquidation event which is outside MPLX’s control. Therefore, they are presented as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Series A preferred units have been recorded at their issuance date fair value, net of issuance costs. Income allocations increase the carrying value and declared distributions decrease the carrying value of the Series A preferred units. As the Series A preferred units are not currently redeemable and not probable of becoming redeemable, adjustment to the initial carrying amount is not necessary and would only be required if it becomes probable that the Series A preferred units would become redeemable.

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 the first quarter of 2020, we identified an impairment trigger relating to asset groups within our Western G&P reporting unit as a result of significant impacts to forecasted cash flows for these asset groups resulting from the first quarter 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. Fair value of the assets was determined using a combination of an income and cost approach. The income approach utilized significant assumptions including management’s best estimates of the expected future cash flows, the estimated useful life of the asset group and discount rate. The cost approach utilized assumptions for the current replacement costs of similar assets adjusted for estimated depreciation and deterioration of the existing equipment and economic obsolescence. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment analysis will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The fair value measurements for the asset group fair values represent Level 3 measurements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	Goodwill and Intangibles Goodwill MPLX annually evaluates goodwill for impairment as of November 30, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill is less than its carrying amount. During the first quarter of 2020, we determined that an interim impairment analysis of the goodwill recorded was necessary 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. After performing our evaluations related to the interim impairment of goodwill during the first quarter of 2020, 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 has reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This resulted in goodwill totaling approximately $7.7 billion as of March 31, 2020 within four reporting units. The fair value of the remaining reporting units with goodwill were in excess of their carrying value by percentages ranging from 8.5 percent to 270.0 percent . The reporting unit whose fair value exceeded its carrying amount by 8.5 percent , our Crude Gathering reporting unit, had goodwill totaling $1.1 billion at March 31, 2020. The operations which make up this reporting unit were acquired through the merger with ANDX. MPC accounted for its October 1, 2018 acquisition of Andeavor (including acquiring control of ANDX), using the acquisition method of accounting, which required Andeavor assets and liabilities to be recorded by MPC at the acquisition date fair value. The Merger was closed on July 30, 2019 and has been treated as a common control transaction, which required the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using MPC’s historical carrying value. As such, given the short amount of time from when fair value was established to the date of the impairment test, the amount by which the fair value exceeded the carrying value within this reporting unit is not unexpected. Our reporting units are one level below our operating segments and are determined based on the way in which segment management operates and reviews each operating segment. The fair value of our six reporting units was determined based on applying both a discounted cash flow or income approach as well as a market approach. The discounted cash flow fair value estimate is based on known or knowable information at the measurement date. The significant assumptions that were used to develop the estimates of the fair values under the discounted cash flow method included management’s best estimates of the expected future results and discount rate, which ranged from 9.5 percent to 11.5 percent . Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the interim goodwill impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. The fair value measurements for the individual reporting units represent Level 3 measurements. After performing our evaluations related to the impairment of goodwill during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, we recorded an impairment of $1,197 million within the Western G&P reporting unit. The remainder of the reporting units’ fair values were in excess of their carrying values. The impairment was primarily driven by updated guidance related to the slowing of drilling activity, which has reduced production growth forecasts from our producer customers. This resulted in goodwill totaling approximately $9.5 billion as of December 31, 2019, with all but one of our six reporting units having goodwill. The changes in carrying amount of goodwill were as follows: (In millions) L&S G&P Total Gross goodwill as of December 31, 2018 $ 7,234 $ 2,912 $ 10,146 Accumulated impairment losses — (130 ) (130 ) Balance as of December 31, 2018 7,234 2,782 10,016 Impairment losses — (1,197 ) (1,197 ) Acquisitions 488 229 717 Balance as of December 31, 2019 7,722 1,814 9,536 Impairment losses — (1,814 ) (1,814 ) Balance as of March 31, 2020 7,722 — 7,722 Gross goodwill as of March 31, 2020 7,722 3,141 10,863 Accumulated impairment losses — (3,141 ) (3,141 ) Balance as of March 31, 2020 $ 7,722 $ — $ 7,722 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 were 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. MPLX’s remaining intangible assets are comprised of customer contracts and relationships.

The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 by fair value hierarchy level. MPLX has elected to offset the fair value amounts recognized for multiple derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty.

The embedded derivative liability relates to a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.26 to $0.68 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.39 per gallon per the current term of the embedded derivative and (2) the probability of renewal of 95 percent for the first five-year term and 83.5 percent for the second five-year term of the gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, respectively. An increase in the probability of renewal would result in an increase in the fair value of the related embedded derivative liability. Beyond the embedded derivative discussed above, we had no outstanding commodity contracts as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019 . Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The following table is a reconciliation of the net beginning and ending balances recorded for net assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Gains and losses on derivatives embedded in commodity contracts are recorded in “Purchased product costs” and “Cost of revenues” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fair Values – Reported MPLX’s primary financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, receivables, receivables from related parties, lease receivables from related parties, accounts payable, payables to related parties and long-term debt. 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, approximates fair value due to the variable interest rate that approximates current market rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value, based on available market information (see Note 14 ). The fair value of MPLX’s long-term debt is estimated based on recent market non-binding indicative quotes. The fair value of the SMR liability is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach based on the contractual cash flows and MPLX’s unsecured borrowing rate. The long-term debt and SMR liability fair values are considered Level 3 measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of the long-term debt, excluding finance leases, and SMR liability: March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 (In millions) Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Long-term debt $ 18,352 $ 20,560 $ 21,054 $ 19,800 SMR liability $ 77 $ 79 $ 90 $ 80

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments As of March 31, 2020 , 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. 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 the difference between the contractual and index pricing, the probability of the producer customer exercising its option to extend and the estimated favorability of these contracts compared to current market conditions. The changes in fair value are recorded in earnings through “Purchased product costs” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the estimated fair value of this contract was a liability of $45 million and $60 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , there were no derivative assets or liabilities that were offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of MPLX’s derivative instruments on its Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized below: (In millions) March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments and their balance sheet location Asset Liability Asset Liability Commodity contracts (1) Other current assets / Other current liabilities $ — $ (2 ) $ — $ (5 ) Other noncurrent assets / Deferred credits and other liabilities — (43 ) — (55 ) Total $ — $ (45 ) $ — $ (60 ) (1) Includes embedded derivatives in commodity contracts as discussed above.

Contract assets are generally classified as current and included in “Other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities, which we refer to as “Deferred revenue” and “Long-term deferred revenue,” typically relate to advance payments for aid in construction agreements and deferred customer credits associated with makeup rights and minimum volume commitments. Related to minimum volume commitments, breakage is estimated and recognized into service revenue in instances where it is probable the customer will not use the credit in future periods. We classify contract liabilities as current or long-term based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. “Receivables, net” primarily relate to our commodity sales. Portions of the “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. Both types of transactions 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. The tables below reflect the changes in our contract balances for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019: (In millions) Balance at December 31, 2019 (1) Additions/ (Deletions) Revenue Recognized (2) Balance at March 31, 2020 Contract assets $ 39 $ (27 ) $ — $ 12 Deferred revenue 23 5 (3 ) 25 Deferred revenue - related parties 53 12 (16 ) 49 Long-term deferred revenue 90 6 — 96 Long-term deferred revenue - related parties $ 55 $ 1 $ — $ 56 (In millions) Balance at December 31, 2018 (1) Additions/ (Deletions) (3) Revenue Recognized (2)(3) Balance at March 31, 2019 (3) Contract assets $ 36 $ (17 ) $ — $ 19 Deferred revenue 13 1 (1 ) 13 Deferred revenue - related parties 65 9 (16 ) 58 Long-term deferred revenue 56 1 — 57 Long-term deferred revenue - related parties $ 52 $ — $ — $ 52 (1) Balance represents ASC 606 portion of each respective line item.

Remaining Performance Obligations The table below includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period. As of March 31, 2020 , the amounts allocated to contract assets and contract liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are $224 million and are reflected in the amounts below. This will be recognized as revenue as the obligations are satisfied, which is expected to occur over the next 31 years. Further, MPLX does not disclose variable consideration due to volume variability in the table below. (In millions) 2020 $ 1,344 2021 1,747 2022 1,717 2023 1,638 2024 and thereafter 5,662 Total revenue on remaining performance obligations (1),(2),(3) $ 12,108 (1) All fixed consideration from contracts with customers is included in the amounts presented above. Variable consideration that is constrained or not required to be estimated as it reflects our efforts to perform is excluded. (2) Arrangements deemed implicit leases are included in “Rental income” and are excluded from this table. (3) Only minimum volume commitments that are deemed fixed are included in the table above. MPLX has various minimum volume commitments in processing arrangements that vary based on the actual Btu content of the gas received. These amounts are deemed variable consideration and are excluded from the table above. We do not disclose information on the future performance obligations for any contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

These performance units pay out 75 percent in cash and 25 percent in MPLX LP common units and often contain both market and performance conditions based on various metrics. Market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo valuation while performance conditions are reevaluated periodically and valued at the compensation cost associated with the performance outcome deemed most probable. The performance units granted in 2020 are hybrid awards having a three-year performance period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The payout of the award is dependent on two independent conditions, each constituting 50 percent of the overall target units granted. The awards have a performance condition based on MPLX LP’s distributable cash flow, and a market condition based on MPLX LP’s total unitholder return. The market condition was valued using a Monte Carlo valuation, resulting in a grant date fair value of $0.80 per unit for the 2020 equity-classified performance units. Grant date fair value of the performance condition is based on potential payouts per unit of up to $2.00 per unit. Compensation cost associated with the performance condition is based on the grant date fair value of the payout deemed most probable to occur and is adjusted as the expectation for payout changes. During the first quarter of 2018, a performance award was granted; however, due to the nature of the award terms, the grant date for this award was not established until the first quarter of 2020 and we began recognizing units and expense related to this award at that time. The performance units granted in 2018 are hybrid awards having a three-year performance period of January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The payout of the award is dependent on two independent conditions, each constituting 50 percent of the overall target units granted. The awards have a performance condition based on an average of MPLX LP’s distributable cash flow and a market condition based on MPLX LP’s total unitholder return. The market condition was valued using a Monte Carlo valuation, resulting in a grant date fair value of $0.45 per unit for the 2018 equity-classified performance units. Grant date fair value of the performance condition is based on potential payouts per unit of up to $2.00 per unit. Compensation cost associated with the performance condition is based on the grant date fair value of the payout deemed most probable to occur and is adjusted as the expectation for payout changes. The following is a summary of the activity for performance unit awards to be settled in MPLX LP common units for the three months ended March 31, 2020 : Number of Outstanding at December 31, 2019 2,157,347 Granted 2,147,211 Settled (1,169,354 ) Forfeited (18,750 ) Outstanding at March 31, 2020 3,116,454

Leases of Lessor Disclosure [Text Block]	Leases For the three months ended March 31, 2020 , reimbursements for projects at certain MPLX refining logistics locations were agreed to between MPLX and MPC. These reimbursements relate to the storage services agreements between MPLX and MPC at these locations and required the embedded leases within these agreements to be reassessed under the leasing standard. As a result of the reassessment, one of our leases was reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. As a result, the underlying assets previously shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets associated with the sales-type lease were derecognized and the net investment in the lease (i.e., the sum of the present value of the future lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value of the assets) was recorded as a lease receivable. See Note 5 for the location of lease receivables and unguaranteed residual assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The difference between the net book value of the underlying assets and the net investment in the lease has been recorded as a Contribution from MPC in the Consolidated Statements of Equity given that the transaction related to refining logistics was a common control transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, MPLX derecognized approximately $171 million of property, plant and equipment, recorded a lease receivable of approximately $370 million , recorded an unguaranteed residual asset of approximately $10 million and a Contribution from MPC of $209 million .

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	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 an accrued liability, MPLX is unable to estimate a range of possible losses 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , accrued liabilities for remediation totaled $17 million and $19 million , respectively. However, it is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties, if any, which may be imposed. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , 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. 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 lawsuits and proceedings will not, individually or collectively, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Guarantees – Over the years, MPLX has sold various assets in the normal course 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 appropriate 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. In connection with our 9.19 percent indirect interest in a joint venture that owns and operates the Dakota Access Pipeline and Energy Transfer Crude Oil Pipeline projects, collectively referred to as the Bakken Pipeline system, we have entered into a Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement whereby MPLX LP, along with the other joint venture owners in the Bakken Pipeline system, have 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. In March 2020, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which granted permits for the Bakken Pipeline system, to conduct a full environmental impact statement (“EIS”), and further requested briefing on whether an easement permit necessary for the operation of the Bakken Pipeline system should be vacated while the EIS is being prepared. If the permit is vacated pending completion of the EIS and the vacatur is deemed temporary, MPLX would have to contribute its 9.19 percent pro rata share of funds required to pay interest accruing on the notes while the pipeline is shutdown and 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 court vacates the permit and such action 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% redemption premium required pursuant to the indenture governing the notes) and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any. As of March 31, 2020 , our maximum potential undiscounted payments under the Contingent Equity Contribution Agreement were approximately $230 million . Contractual Commitments and Contingencies – At March 31, 2020 , MPLX’s contractual commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaled $318 million . These commitments were primarily related to G&P plant expansion, terminal and pipeline projects. In addition, from time to time and in the ordinary course of business, MPLX and its affiliates provide guarantees of MPLX’s subsidiaries payment and performance obligations in the G&P segment. Certain natural gas processing and gathering arrangements require MPLX to construct new natural gas processing plants, natural gas gathering pipelines and NGL pipelines and contain certain fees and charges if specified construction milestones are not achieved for reasons other than force majeure. In certain cases, certain producers may have the right to cancel the processing arrangements if there are significant delays that are not due to force majeure. As of March 31, 2020

Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	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 transportation, storage and distribution of crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum 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 two segments based on the nature of services it offers: Logistics and Storage (“L&S”), which relates primarily to crude oil, asphalt and refined petroleum products; and Gathering and Processing (“G&P”), which relates primarily to natural gas and NGLs. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the operations and results of these segments. On July 30, 2019, MPLX completed its acquisition by merger (the “Merger”) of Andeavor Logistics LP (“ANDX”). At the effective time of the Merger, each common unit held by ANDX’s public unitholders was converted into the right to receive 1.135 MPLX common units. ANDX common units held by certain affiliates of MPC were converted into the right to receive 1.0328 MPLX common units. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the Merger. Impairments – The recent outbreak of COVID-19 and its development into a pandemic in March 2020 has resulted in significant economic disruption globally. Actions taken by various governmental authorities, individuals and companies around the world to prevent the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing have restricted travel, many business operations, public gatherings and the overall level of individual movement and in-person interaction across the globe. This has significantly reduced global economic activity and resulted in a decline in the demand for the midstream services we provide. Macroeconomic conditions and global geopolitical events have also resulted in significant price volatility related to those aforementioned products. The overall deterioration in the economy and the environment in which MPLX and our customers operate, as well as a sustained decrease in unit price, were considered triggering events resulting in impairments of the carrying value of certain assets. During the first quarter of 2020 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 have continued to refine and update production forecasts in response to the current environment, which has impacted their current and 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 have 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 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 in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. In relation to the Merger described above and in Note 3 , ANDX’s assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Merger are collectively included in what we refer to as the “Predecessor” from October 1, 2018, which was the date that MPC acquired Andeavor. MPLX’s acquisition of ANDX is considered a transfer between entities under common control due to MPC’s relationship with ANDX prior to the Merger. As an entity under common control with MPC, MPLX recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on its consolidated balance sheets at MPC’s historical carrying value. Transfers of businesses between entities under common control require prior periods to be retrospectively adjusted for those dates that the entity was under common control. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements and related notes of MPLX LP have been retrospectively adjusted to include the historical results of ANDX beginning October 1, 2018. MPLX’s consolidated financial statements include all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. For non wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries, the interests owned by third parties have been recorded as “Noncontrolling interests” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Intercompany investments, accounts and transactions have been eliminated. MPLX’s investments in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method. MPLX’s investments in VIEs in which MPLX exercises significant influence but does not control and is not the primary beneficiary are also accounted for using the equity method. In preparing the Consolidated Statements of Equity, net income attributable to MPLX LP is allocated to Series A and Series B preferred unitholders based on a fixed distribution schedule. Distributions, although earned, are not accrued until declared. The allocation of net income attributable to MPLX LP for purposes of calculating net income per limited partner unit is described in Note 6 .

Fair Value Inputs Assets and Liabilities Quantitative Information [Table Text Block]	Level 3 instruments include all NGL transactions and embedded derivatives in commodity contracts. The embedded derivative liability relates to a natural gas purchase commitment embedded in a keep-whole processing agreement. The fair value calculation for these Level 3 instruments used significant unobservable inputs including: (1) NGL prices interpolated and extrapolated due to inactive markets ranging from $0.26 to $0.68 per gallon with a weighted average of $0.39 per gallon per the current term of the embedded derivative and (2) the probability of renewal of 95 percent for the first five-year term and 83.5 percent for the second five-year term of the gas purchase commitment and related keep-whole processing agreement. Increases or decreases in the fractionation spread result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of the embedded derivative liability, respectively. An increase in the probability of renewal would result in an increase in the fair value of the related embedded derivative liability. Beyond the embedded derivative discussed above, we had no outstanding commodity contracts as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019 .

Description		The holders may convert their Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in full or in part, subject to minimum conversion amounts and conditions. After the fourth anniversary of the issuance date, MPLX may convert the Series A preferred units into common units at any time, in whole or in part, subject to certain minimum conversion amounts and conditions, if the closing price of MPLX LP common units is greater than $48.75 for the 20-day trading period immediately preceding the conversion notice date. The conversion rate for the Series A preferred units shall be the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) $32.50, plus (ii) any unpaid cash distributions on the applicable preferred unit, divided by (b) $32.50, subject to adjustment for unit distributions, unit splits and similar transactions. The holders of the Series A preferred units are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the common unitholders and have certain other class voting rights with respect to any amendment to the MPLX partnership agreement that would adversely affect any rights, preferences or privileges of the preferred units. In addition, upon certain events involving a change of control, the holders of preferred units may elect, among other potential elections, to convert their Series A preferred units to common units at the then change of control conversion rate.
