Description: MPLX MPLX January 29, 2026
MPLX LP (NYSE:MPLX) is a midstream energy infrastructure and logistics firm headquartered in Findlay, Ohio. It operates as a subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum Corporation and is organized into two primary segments: Crude Oil & Products Logistics and Natural Gas & NGL Services.
Across its network, MPLX manages roughly 3.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) of natural-gas gathering and processing capacity, with 2024 utilization averaging 85 %. The company generated $2.1 billion of operating cash flow in 2024, supporting a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share (≈ 5.5 % yield). Its inland marine fleet transports over 1 million barrels per day of crude, refined products, and renewable fuels along the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast corridors.
The business is sensitive to three macro drivers: (1) U.S. natural-gas price spreads, which have widened by ~30 % year-over-year due to colder winter demand and constrained production; (2) refinery crack spreads, which remain above the 5-year average, bolstering demand for MPLX’s crude-oil logistics; and (3) the Renewable Fuel Standard, which is increasing the volume of ethanol and biodiesel that must be blended and transported, expanding MPLX’s renewable-fuel logistics footprint.
