"The challenges created by the COVID pandemic continued during our second quarter," said Michael J. Hennigan, president and chief executive officer. "Significantly lower levels of demand for crude and refined products decreased the need for our logistics and storage services, while production curtailments in response to lower prices pressured the gathering and processing systems we operate. However, the progress we made on the proactive steps we announced last quarter helped offset some of these challenges. We continue to believe we will be able to generate a stable level of EBITDA to support our goal of achieving positive free cash flow, after capital investments and distributions, for 2021."
