NEW YORK, Jan 30 (Reuters) - MPLX, a midstream energy company, reported higher earnings for the fourth quarter of 2023 on Tuesday, as its pipelines transported an increased volume of energy products.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) attributable to MPLX were $1,623 million, compared with $1,454 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total pipeline throughputs were 5.8 million barrels per day (bpd) in the fourth quarter, an increase of 3% versus the same quarter of 2022.

The average pipeline tariff rate was $0.97 per barrel for the quarter, an increase of 9% versus the same quarter of 2022. Terminal throughput was 3.0 million bpd for the quarter, flat versus the same quarter of 2022.

The company's logistics and storage segment's adjusted EBITDA increased by $110 million compared to the same period in 2022, driven by higher rates and throughputs, as well as growth from equity affiliates.
