QUESTION 4 OF 30

What can you tell me about the midstream segment of Marathon Petroleum's business?

Briefly discuss with the interviewer what you've been able to learn in your advance research. Much of this information is available on the Marathon Petroleum website, so take some time to review it before your interview.

"I understand that the midstream segment of Marathon Petroleum's business is an effective complement to its refining and marketing segment. The midstream segment gathers, processes and transports natural gas; gathers, transports, fractionates, stores and markets NGLs; and transports and stores crude oil and refined products via pipelines, terminals, towboats and barges."

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! It's apparent from your answer that you've done your research on the company. You might begin your response, however, by defining what a midstream segment is (e.g., it involves the transportation, storage, and wholesale marketing of crude and refined petroleum products) and then launch into your description of this particular company's midstream segment (MPLX). Just make sure you fully understand what a midstream segment is and that you can discuss it knowledgeably. Good job!
