(1) In July 2024, we purchased an additional 20 percent ownership interest in BANGL, LLC, increasing our ownership interest to 45 percent, as discussed in Note 3.

(2) 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, the “Bakken Pipeline system”).

(3) Reflects the dilution of MPLX’s ownership interest in Whistler Pipeline, LLC and the formation of a new entity, WPC Parent, LLC, as discussed in Note 3. The carrying value at September 30, 2024 represents our ownership in WPC Parent, LLC, and the carrying value at December 31, 2023 represents our ownership interest in Whistler Pipeline, LLC.

(5) We acquired a 36 percent direct interest in OGC in the Utica Midstream Acquisition discussed in Note 3. We also hold a 38 percent indirect interest in OGC through our ownership interest in MarkWest Utica EMG, L.L.C.

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. As such, we have determined that these entities should not be consolidated and applied the equity method of accounting with respect to our investments in each entity.

MPLX’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with equity method investments generally 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, 2024 and September 30, 2023. See Note 16 for information on our guarantees related to equity method investees.
