FINDLAY, Ohio, July 27, 2017 - Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) today
reported 2017 second-quarter earnings of $515 million, or $1.00 per diluted
share. Second-quarter 2017 earnings include a charge of $0.05 per diluted share
related to estimated losses for ongoing litigation matters and a benefit of
$0.02 per diluted share related to the company's share of a gain on asset
liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper Pipeline
project.

This compares with $801 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, in the second
quarter of 2016. Second-quarter 2016 earnings included a benefit of $0.47 per
diluted share related to the reversal of the company's lower of cost or market
(LCM) inventory valuation reserve. The 2016 earnings also included a charge of
$0.03 per diluted share related to an impairment of an equity method investment
held by MPC's sponsored master limited partnership, MPLX LP (NYSE: MPLX).


"We delivered strong operational and financial performance for our shareholders
in the second quarter," said Gary R. Heminger, chairman and chief executive
officer. "MPC continues to focus on driving results while delivering on the
strategic actions designed to further enhance shareholder value."




MPC completed the first of several planned strategic dropdowns in the first
quarter and utilized a substantial portion of after-tax cash proceeds from the
transaction to repurchase shares. In the third quarter, MPC is targeting the
dropdown of its joint-interest ownership in certain pipelines and storage
facilities to MPLX. These assets are projected to generate approximately $135
million of annual adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA).((1) )Work remains on schedule to prepare the remaining
assets, with annual EBITDA of approximately $1 billion, for dropdown to MPLX no
later than the end of the first quarter of 2018. MPC also expects to complete
the ongoing review of Speedway by the end of the third quarter.

Speedway reported record second-quarter segment income from operations of $239
million, $46 million higher than the previous record set in the second quarter
of 2016, and $71 million higher when excluding the LCM benefit. Record results
were driven by higher light-product and merchandise gross margins in the
quarter.

"Speedway delivered another exceptional quarter," Heminger said. "We expect to
continue driving marketing enhancement opportunities as we build new stores,
remodel stores and rebuild existing locations across our network."

The Midstream segment, including MPLX, contributed $332 million in income from
operations. The increase over the second quarter of last year was primarily due
to an increase in processing and fractionation activity in the Marcellus shale.
Total processed and fractionated volumes increased 14 percent and 20 percent,
respectively, in the second quarter versus prior year, setting new volume
records for the partnership.

In early July, the partnership's Utica build-out projects, including the newly
constructed Harpster-to-Lima pipeline, became fully operational. In combination
with the Cornerstone Pipeline, these projects create additional fee-based
revenue for the partnership and new access for Utica and Marcellus shale
producers by moving condensate and natural gasoline to refineries throughout the
Midwest. MPLX is currently constructing additional connectivity and expanding
pipelines to provide more optionality for Midwest refiners.

In addition to expansion in the Marcellus and Utica, where the partnership is
the largest processor and fractionator by volume, MPLX continues construction of
the Argo gas processing plant in the Delaware basin. In July, the partnership
began construction of an additional gas processing plant to support growth in
the STACK shale play of Oklahoma. The new facility, named the Omega plant, is
expected to enter service in mid-2018.

"We are very pleased with MPLX's financial and operational results, which
demonstrate the substantial and growing value the partnership represents to the
total enterprise," Heminger said. "MPLX is well-positioned with a robust
portfolio of organic projects in some of the most prolific and economic shale
plays in the United States. We remain confident in MPLX's compelling value
proposition to investors."

The Refining & Marketing segment reported second-quarter segment income from
operations of $562 million, driven by higher LLS-based blended crack spreads and
record throughput at MPC's Garyville and Galveston Bay refineries, enabled by
the significant turnaround work in the first quarter. These benefits were more
than offset by higher crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs, primarily due
to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials.

"Looking forward, we believe the U.S. and global macroeconomic picture remains
favorable and we expect good underlying economic growth will continue to support
strong demand for our products," Heminger said. "With top-tier, strategically
located assets with export access, MPC is well-positioned to meet the energy
needs of the markets and to continue to drive long-term value for shareholders."

During the second quarter, the company returned $936 million to shareholders
through dividends and share repurchases. As part of the strategic actions,
after-tax cash proceeds from the first-quarter dropdown supported substantial
share repurchase activity, including $750 million in the second quarter and $1.2
billion year-to-date.

On July 26, the MPC board of directors announced an 11 percent increase in the
quarterly dividend, to $0.40 per share. This represents a 26 percent compound
annual growth rate in the dividend since becoming an independent company six
years ago, demonstrating continued confidence in the cash-flow generation of the
business.

((1) )     Adjusted EBITDA with respect to anticipated joint-interest
acquisitions is calculated as cash distributions adjusted for maintenance
capital, growth capital and financing activities.



Segment Results

Total income from operations was $1.03 billion in the second quarter of 2017,
compared with $1.32 billion in the second quarter of 2016.

((a)        )In the first quarter of 2017, segment reporting was revised in
connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage
assets to MPLX. The results related to these assets are now presented in the
Midstream segment. Previously, these results were reported in the Refining &
Marketing segment. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast
effective Jan. 1, 2015, and the results for the terminal assets were recast
effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates these assets were not considered
businesses and therefore there are no financial results from which to recast
segment results.


Refining & Marketing

Refining & Marketing (R&M) segment income from operations was $562 million in
the second quarter of 2017, compared with $1.03 billion in the same quarter of
2016. The second quarter of 2016 includes a $360 million non-cash benefit
related to the reversal of the company's lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory
valuation reserve. Excluding the LCM benefit, the decrease in quarter-over-
quarter segment results was primarily due to a $1.41 per barrel decrease in the
R&M gross margin. The favorable effect of higher blended LLS-based crack spreads
was more than offset by unfavorable crude oil and feedstock acquisition costs,
primarily due to lower sweet/sour crude oil price differentials and less
favorable product price realizations as compared to spot market reference
prices.
The U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) and Chicago LLS blended 6-3-2-1 crack spread
increased from $7.66 per barrel in the second quarter of 2016 to $9.18 per
barrel in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to increases in USGC crack
spreads.



Speedway

Speedway segment income from operations was $239 million in the second quarter
of 2017, compared with $193 million in the second quarter of 2016. The second
quarter of 2016 includes a $25 million non-cash benefit related to the reversal
of the company's lower of cost or market (LCM) inventory valuation reserve.
Excluding the LCM benefit, the increase in quarter-over-quarter segment results
was primarily due to higher light product margin, reduced operating expenses and
higher merchandise gross margin. Segment results also benefited from Speedway's
new joint venture with Pilot Flying J, which commenced in the fourth quarter of
2016. Speedway's light product margin increased to 18.35 cents per gallon in the
second quarter of 2017 from 15.49 cents per gallon in the second quarter of
2016.

Midstream

Midstream segment income from operations, which includes MPLX as well as other
related operations, was $332 million in the second quarter of 2017, compared
with $253 million for the second quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due
to increased earnings from natural gas and NGL processing and fractionation,
primarily driven by higher volumes and changes in natural gas and NGL prices;
earnings from the recently acquired Ozark pipeline system; and increased
earnings from pipeline equity method investments.

Items Not Allocated to Segments

Corporate and other unallocated expenses of $83 million in the second quarter of
2017 were $19 million higher than the second quarter of 2016, largely due to an
increase in certain employee benefit expenses along with lower allocation of
corporate costs to the segments.

In the second quarter of 2017, the company recognized estimated losses of $40
million related to ongoing litigation matters. Our assessment is subject to
change based on the current stage of these matters. Impairments in the second
quarter of 2017 included a benefit of $19 million related to MPC's share of a
gain on asset liquidations related to its investment in the canceled Sandpiper
Pipeline project.

Strong Financial Position and Liquidity

On June 30, 2017, the company had $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents,
excluding MPLX's cash and cash equivalents of $293 million, $2.5 billion
available under a revolving credit agreement expiring in July 2020, $1 billion
available under a 364-day bank revolving credit facility expiring in July 2017,
and full availability under its $750 million trade receivables securitization
facility. On July 21, 2017, the company replaced its existing bank revolving
credit facilities with a new five-year $2.5 billion bank revolving credit
facility expiring in July 2022 and a new 364-day $1 billion bank revolving
credit facility expiring in July 2018. The company's liquidity should provide it
with sufficient flexibility to meet its day-to-day operational needs and
continue its balanced approach to investing in the business and returning
capital to shareholders.

((a)        )Segment EBITDA represents segment earnings before interest and
financing costs, interest income, income taxes and depreciation and amortization
expense. Segment EBITDA is used by some investors and analysts to analyze and
compare companies on the basis of operating performance. Segment EBITDA should
not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to MPC, income
before income taxes, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure
of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other entities.
((b))     In the first quarter of 2017, segment reporting was revised in
connection with the contribution of certain terminal, pipeline and storage
assets to MPLX. The results related to these assets are now presented in the
Midstream segment. Previously, these results were reported in the Refining &
Marketing segment. The results for the pipeline and storage assets were recast
effective January 1, 2015, and the results for the terminal assets were recast
effective April 1, 2016. Prior to these dates these assets were not considered
businesses and therefore there are no financial results from which to recast
segment results.
((c)        )Includes non-cash LCM inventory valuation benefit of $385 million
for the second quarter 2016 and $370 million for the six months ended June 30,
2016. The benefit increased Refining & Marketing and Speedway segment income by
$360 million and $25 million, respectively, for the second quarter 2016 and $345
million and $25 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
((d)        )Includes charges for estimated losses of $40 million related to
litigation and MPC's share of a gain related to its investment in the canceled
Sandpiper pipeline project of $19 million in the three and six months ended June
30, 2017 and impairment charges of $90 million and $219 million recorded by MPLX
in the second quarter of 2016 and the first six months of 2016, respectively.
