Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]  
Commitments And Contingencies 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Expense The company’s leases do not specify an implicit interest rate. Therefore, the incremental borrowing rate was used based on information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The company leases certain facilities, parcels of land, and equipment, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 15.9 years. The land and facility leases include renewal options. The renewal options are included in the lease term only for those sites or locations in which they are reasonably certain to be renewed. Equipment renewals are not considered reasonably certain to be exercised as they typically renew with significantly different underlying terms. The company may sublease certain of its railcars to third parties on a short-term basis. The subleases are classified as operating leases, with the associated sublease income being recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The components of lease expense are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019Lease expense Operating lease expense $ 19,587 $ 20,771 $ 20,806Variable lease expense (1) 1,225 1,681 824Total lease expense $ 20,812 $ 22,452 $ 21,630 (1)Represents amounts incurred in excess of the minimum payments required for a certain building lease and for the handling and unloading of railcars for a certain land lease, offset by railcar lease abatements provided by the lessor when railcars are out of service during periods of maintenance or upgrade. ‎ Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 19,579 $ 20,864 $ 21,459 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations: Operating leases 20,291 32,713 11,176 Right-of-use assets and lease obligations derecognized due to lease modifications: Operating leases 1,889 5,176 1,726 Supplemental balance sheet information related to operating leases is as follows: 2021 2020Weighted average remaining lease term 5.5 years 6.2 years Weighted average discount rate 4.16% 4.55% Aggregate minimum lease payments under the operating lease agreements for future fiscal years as of December 31, 2021 are as follows (in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Amount2022 $ 19,0452023 16,3012024 13,7772025 9,4082026 3,847Thereafter 13,446Total 75,824Less: Present value discount (9,215)Lease liabilities $ 66,609 Lease Revenue As described in Note 4 – Revenue, the majority of the partnership’s segment revenue is generated though their storage and throughput services and rail transportation services agreements with Green Plains Trade and are accounted for as lease revenue.
