Partners' Capital [Abstract]  
Schedule of Common Unit Activity As of December 31, 2019, $295 million of our common units remained available to be issued under the equity distribution agreement. The Partnership issued 1,268,750 common units from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 in connection with the ATM for $33 million, net of commissions of $0.3 million.
On February 7, 2018, subsequent to the record date for SUN’s fourth quarter 2017 distribution, the Partnership repurchased 17,286,859 SUN common units owned by ETO for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $540 million. The repurchase price per common unit was $31.2376, which is equal to the volume weighted average trading price of SUN common units on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten trading days ending on January 23, 2018. The Partnership funded the repurchase with cash on hand.
Common unit activity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
