  The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

NOTE 1.  GENERAL

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MarkWest
Hydrocarbon, Inc. ("MarkWest" or the "Company"), and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, MarkWest Resources, Inc.; MarkWest Michigan, Inc.; and 155
Inverness, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998, included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the unaudited interim periods have been
made.  These adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.

The effective corporate tax rate for interim periods is based on the estimated
annual effective corporate tax rate, excluding certain nonrecurring or unusual
events.  The effective tax rate varies from statutory rates due primarily to tax
credits and intangible development costs.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2.   LONG-TERM DEBT

Effective May 3, 1999, the Company amended its existing credit agreement.  The
amended credit agreement provides for a maximum borrowing amount of $50 million,
$5 million of which is available pursuant to a term loan commitment and the
remaining $45 million pursuant to a revolving loan commitment.  Actual borrowing
limits may be a lesser amount, depending on trailing cash flow, as defined in
the agreement.  The credit facility permits the Company to borrow money using
either a base rate loan or a London Interbank Offered Rate ("Libor") loan
option, plus an applicable margin of between 0% and 3%, based on a certain
Company debt to earnings ratio.

NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

MarkWest filed arbitration proceedings in February 1998 to resolve issues with
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation ("Columbia") regarding three Appalachia
natural gas plants.  These plants are governed by several contracts, the most
important of which extends through the year 2010.  In this arbitration, MarkWest
requests a declaration of rights and status to clarify agreements between the
companies and certain monetary relief.  Issues arose during ongoing negotiations
between MarkWest and Columbia to finalize terms of a 1997 preliminary agreement
in which, among other things, Columbia agreed to sell its Cobb plant to MarkWest
and to transfer from Columbia to MarkWest the operation of the Boldman plant.
These issues also include matters regarding operations at the Kenova plant.
MarkWest owns the Boldman and Kenova plants.

In April 1998, Columbia filed a Complaint against MarkWest in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.  The Complaint seeks
declaratory relief that certain agreements, or certain specified provisions
thereof, are void and that MarkWest is in breach of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission-approved settlement agreement under which MarkWest was to
acquire the Cobb plant and operate the Boldman plant.  The certain agreements
concern, among other matters, Columbia's obligation to guarantee the delivery of
natural gas or NGLs to MarkWest.  In the Complaint, Columbia also seeks
injunctive relief to enjoin MarkWest from interfering with arrangements Columbia
may seek to undertake with natural gas producers and suppliers and with
negotiations Columbia may pursue with third parties to terminate its interests
in the products extraction business.  In the third quarter of 1998, the District
Court judge stayed proceedings pending the binding arbitration noted above.
Arbitration hearings initially scheduled to commence in March 1999 were vacated
because of the need to replace a member of the arbitration panel.  The new
arbitrator has been named, and MarkWest anticipates that new hearing dates will
be promptly established.  Management believes it will prevail in its position
and, accordingly, the outcome of this dispute is not likely to have a material
effect on the financial condition, results of operations or prospects of
MarkWest.

NOTE 4.  SEGMENT REPORTING

In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information.  The Company's operations are classified
into two reportable segments, as follows:

     (1) Processing and Related Services--provides compression, gathering,
         treatment and NGL extraction, and fractionation services; also
         purchases and markets natural gas and NGLs; and
     (2) Exploration and Production--explores for and produces natural gas.

MarkWest evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to
them based on gross operating income. There are no intersegment revenues.
MarkWest's business is conducted solely in the United States.

The table below presents information about gross operating income for the
reported segments for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.  Asset
information by reportable segment is not reported, since MarkWest does not
produce such information internally.
