MPLX is actively managing its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, such as Northwind Midstream and BANGL, to enhance its Natural Gas and NGL Services segment, while simultaneously divesting non-core assets, as evidenced by the agreement to sell its Rockies gathering and processing operations.

MPLX demonstrated its commitment to returning capital through a 12.5% increase in its quarterly distribution to $1.0765 per common unit for the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, the company had $1.2 billion remaining under its unit repurchase authorizations as of September 30, 2025, and returned $1,075 million to unitholders via distributions and repurchases in the third quarter.
