Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements and information. These forward-looking statements, which in many instances can be identified by words like “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “project,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “planned,” “proposed,” “potential,” and other comparable words, regarding future or contemplated results, performance, transactions, or events, are based on MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (“MarkWest” and the “Partnership”) current information, expectations and beliefs, concerning future developments and their potential effects on MarkWest. Although MarkWest believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct, and actual results, performance, distributions, events or transactions could vary significantly from those expressed or implied in such statements and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks. Among the factors that could cause results to differ materially are those risks discussed in the periodic reports filed with the SEC, including MarkWest’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. You are urged to carefully review and consider the cautionary statements and other disclosures, including those under the heading “Risk Factors,” made in those documents. If any of the uncertainties or risks develop into actual events or occurrences, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, it could cause actual results to vary significantly from those expressed in the presentation, and MarkWest’s business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Key uncertainties and risks that may directly affect MarkWest’s performance, future growth, results of operations, and financial condition, include, but are not limited to: Fluctuations and volatility of natural gas, NGL products, and oil prices; A reduction in natural gas or refinery off-gas production which MarkWest gathers, transports, processes, and/or fractionates; A reduction in the demand for the products MarkWest produces and sells; Financial credit risks / failure of customers to satisfy payment or other obligations under MarkWest’s contracts; Effects of MarkWest’s debt and other financial obligations, access to capital, or its future financial or operational flexibility or liquidity; Construction, procurement, and regulatory risks in our development projects; Hurricanes, fires, and other natural and accidental events impacting MarkWest’s operations, and adequate insurance coverage; Terrorist attacks directed at MarkWest facilities or related facilities; Changes in and impacts of laws and regulations affecting MarkWest operations and risk management strategy; and Failure to integrate recent or future acquisitions. 2

Non-GAAP Measures Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Operating Margin are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered separately from or as a substitute for net income, income from operations, or cash flow as reflected in our financial statements. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Distributable Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Net Operating Margin is income (loss) from operations. In general, we define DCF as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) depreciation, amortization, impairment, and other non-cash expense; (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs and discount; (iii) loss on redemption of debt net of current tax benefit; (iv) non-cash (earnings) loss from unconsolidated affiliates; (v) distributions from (contributions to) unconsolidated affiliates (net of affiliate growth capital expenditures); (vi) non-cash compensation expense; (vii) non-cash derivative activity; (viii) losses (gains) on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) and unconsolidated affiliates; (ix) provision for deferred income taxes; (x) cash adjustments for non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiaries; (xi) revenue deferral adjustment; (xii) losses (gains) relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income for the period; and (xiii) maintenance capital expenditures, net of joint venture partner contributions. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) depreciation, amortization, impairment, and other non-cash expense; (ii) interest expense; (iii) amortization of deferred financing costs; (iv) loss on redemption of debt; (v) losses (gains) on the disposal of PP&E and unconsolidated affiliates; (vi) non-cash derivative activity; (vii) non-cash compensation expense; (viii) provision for income taxes; (ix) adjustments for cash flow from unconsolidated affiliates; (x) adjustment related to non-guarantor, consolidated subsidiaries; and (xi) losses (gains) relating to other miscellaneous non-cash amounts affecting net income for the period. We generally define Operating Income before Items Not Allocated to Segments as (i) revenue, excluding derivative gains and losses and adjusted for certain revenue deferral adjustments less; (ii) purchased product costs, excluding derivative gains and losses less; (iii) facility expenses, adjusted for certain non-cash items not allocated to segments and certain interest payments allocable to the segments less; ( iv) the portion allocable to non-controlling interests. Distributable Cash Flow is a financial performance measure used by management as a key component in the determination of cash distributions paid to unitholders. We believe distributable cash flow is an important financial measure for unitholders as an indicator of cash return on investment and to evaluate whether the Partnership is generating sufficient cash flow to support quarterly distributions. In addition, distributable cash flow is commonly used by the investment community because the market value of publicly traded partnerships is based, in part, on distributable cash flow and cash distributions paid to unitholders. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure used by management, industry analysts, investors, lenders, and rating agencies to assess the financial performance and operating results of the Partnership’s ongoing business operations. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors for trending, analyzing, and benchmarking our operating results from period to period as compared to other companies that may have different financing and capital structures. Net Operating Margin is a financial performance measure used by management and investors to evaluate the underlying baseline operating performance of our contractual arrangements. Management also uses Net Operating Margin to evaluate the Partnership’s financial performance for purposes of planning and forecasting. Please see the Appendix for reconciliations of Distributable Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net Operating Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 3

U.S. Shale Plays Are Driving Natural Gas Supply 6 EIA data concludes that natural gas supply will increase by approximately 25% by 2030 driven primarily by increased demand by power generation and transportation sectors. Essentially all of the supply increase will be met by shale gas production. From 2013 to 2030, shale gas production will increase by 65% and in 2030 it will account for 48% of total U.S. natural gas supply Resource plays will continue to drive midstream investment for decades to come and MarkWest will continue to focus our investments in these areas Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2013 Early Release 2013 36% 24% 1% 6% 7% 11% 15% 22% 4% 6% 5% 7% 8% 48% U.S. Dry Natural Gas Production (trillion cubic feet per year)
