Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation Organization We are a growth-oriented master limited partnership formed in Delaware in 1996 and focused on the midstream segment of the crude oil and natural gas industry as well as the production of natural soda ash. Our operations are located primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, Wyoming, and the Gulf of Mexico. We provide an integrated suite of services to refiners, crude oil and natural gas producers, and industrial and commercial enterprises and have a diverse portfolio of assets, including pipelines, offshore hub and junction platforms, our trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing, and selling business based in Wyoming (our "Alkali Business"), refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail unloading facilities, barges and other vessels, and trucks. We are owned 100% by our limited partners. Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner, is a wholly-owned subsidiary. Our general partner has sole responsibility for conducting our business and managing our operations. We conduct our operations and own our operating assets through our subsidiaries and joint ventures. We currently manage our businesses through the following four divisions that constitute our reportable segments: •Offshore pipeline transportation and processing of crude oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico; •Sodium minerals and sulfur services involving trona and trona-based exploring, mining, processing, producing, marketing and selling activities, as well as the processing of high sulfur (or "sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and the selling of the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or "NaHS", commonly pronounced "nash"); •Onshore facilities and transportation, which include the terminalling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting of crude oil and petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products); and •Marine transportation to provide waterborne transportation of petroleum products and crude oil throughout North America. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including our general partner, Genesis Energy, LLC. Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods. Certain information and notes normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our "Annual Report"). Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars. Covid-19 and Market Update In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized Covid-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the Covid-19 outbreak a national emergency. Our operations, which fall within the energy, mining and transportation sectors, are considered critical and essential by the Department of Homeland Security's CISA and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic. We have a designated internal management team to provide resources, updates, and support to our entire workforce during this pandemic, while maintaining a focus to ensure safety and well-being of our employees, the families of our employees, and the communities in which our businesses operate. We will continue to operate in the best interests of our employees, stakeholders, customers, partners, and suppliers and make any necessary changes as required by federal, state, or local authorities as we continue to actively monitor the situation. Beginning in March 2020, Covid-19 caused commodity prices to decline due to, among other things, reduced industrial activity and travel demand. Additionally, actions taken by OPEC and other oil exporting nations in that timeframe caused additional significant declines and volatility in the price of oil and gas. We continue to monitor the market environment and will evaluate whether any triggering events would indicate possible impairments of long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill. Management’s estimates are based on numerous assumptions about future operations and market conditions, which we believe to be reasonable but are inherently uncertain. The uncertainties underlying our assumptions and estimates could differ significantly from actual results, including with respect to the duration and severity of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the current volatile economic environment and to the extent conditions deteriorate, we may identify triggering events that may require future evaluations of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, which could result in impairment charges that could be material to our results of operations.
