Thanks, Pam, and good afternoon and thank you for joining us today for the first earnings conference call for MPLX. Please turn to Slide 3. On October 26, we announced the final terms of the IPO of MPLX. So we are just beginning our first full quarter as a new public entity. We believe we have created a premier MLP, one that has some very attractive features for MLP investors. MPLX is a fee-based business with stable cash flows and multiple avenues to grow earnings and distributions over an extended period of time. MPLX is sponsored by an investment grade parent, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, with a significant and growing portfolio of logistics assets that could be acquired by MPLX in the future. MPLX assets are integral to MPC's integrated logistics and marketing system, providing MPC's refineries access to foreign, Canadian and domestic crude sources, and finished products to its wholesale and retail marketing consumers. The growing production of crude oil and natural gas liquids and changing supply patterns create opportunities for MPLX to play a vital role in the fast-changing energy landscape. MPC intends for MPLX to be its primary vehicle to own, operate and grow its midstream business. Additionally, MPC has a large portfolio of MLP qualifying assets, including the 49% retained interest in MPLX's initial pipeline assets that can be offered to MPLX over time to help us achieve our desired annual distribution growth rate. An example of the growing portfolio of MPC logistics assets are those related to logistics assets including three NGL pipelines and four light product storage terminals embedded in the acquisition of BP's assets in the Western Gulf. That acquisition is targeted to close on Friday, February 1. An additional example is MPC's recent agreement to be the anchor shipper on the proposed 3,000…

Thanks Garry. Due to significant differences in the assets and tariff structure included in the historical financial statements compared to the post-IPO MPLX, I will be focusing my comments on MPLX's results on a post-IPO basis. Net income, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow will be discussed for the period October 31 through December 31, 2012. MPLX revenues and other income for the post-IPO period was $83.6 million, driven primarily by total pipeline throughput of nearly 2.1 million barrels per day. Marathon Petroleum Corporation and related parties accounted for approximately 87% of those revenues, which included revenues attributable to volume shipped by MPC under joint tariffs with third parties that are treated as third-party revenue for accounting purposes. After deducting the 49% interest retained by MPC, adjusted EBITDA attributable to MPLX for the post-IPO period was $18.2 million. Financial results for the post-IPO period were consistent with our expectations. Turning to Slide 5. Distributable cash flow for the post-IPO period was $16.7 million. As Garry mentioned, our board declared our first cash distribution of $0.1769 per unit, which was prorated for the post-IPO period. The total cash distribution for the post-IPO period will be $13.3 million, and represents a coverage ratio of 1.25 times. As indicated in the prospectus, we plan to target an annual coverage ratio of 1.1 times. However, we do not necessarily expect to achieve a 1.1 times coverage ratio each quarter due to the seasonality in some of our spending. Slide 6 shows that at the end of the fourth quarter, we had $216.7 million of cash, primarily to pre-fund $177.6 million of planned capital projects. The partnership also had access to a $500 million unused revolving credit facility to fund organic growth opportunities or acquisitions from MPC or from third parties. With minimal debt, our…

Thanks Don. We'll just go ahead and open up the call for questions.

(Operator Instructions) Actually we do have a question, Jerren Holder from Barclays.

So given the large dropdown inventory you guys have and obviously that's been going to be large growth driver for this MLP, how should we think about it as far as timing and size going forward?

As you rightfully know, we believe we have a pretty good opportunity or lot of opportunities for MPLX to grow. And we've stated all along that we already have a very competitive and attractive distribution growth rates. So really the dropdowns that will occur, really will be driven by what other ways we grow our distributions. Our primary growth rate is just to be at the tariff revenues, which we will be able to grow overtime. Some organic type of projects that Don talked about in his remarks, as well as some other opportunities we have. So to extent that tariff increases and volume increases on our pipelines and capital expenditures don't achieve the type of distribution growth that we want to achieve, then is when we will consider a dropdown. I think if you look at a lot of other IPOs in the MLP space, that generally speaking they've had their first drop in the six to 12 month period after their IPO. And as you know about MPLX, we pretty much constructed this vehicle with this entity to be right down the middle of the fairway in terms of other MLPs. And I think we're going to continue to do anything we can to make sure that this typical, of a well-run, well-capitalized type of MLP.

It looks like there aren't going to be many questions today. So we just like to thank everyone for their interest in MPLX. And certainly, I'll be in the office this afternoon. If there are any follow-up questions, you can reach me at the corporate headquarters. So thanks everyone for joining us today.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This concludes today's conference. Thank you for participating. You may now disconnect.
