Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Unit-Based Compensation Unit-Based Compensation
Sunoco Phantom Units. The Partnership has issued phantom units to its employees and non-employee directors, which vest 60% after three years and 40% after five years. Phantom units have the right to receive distributions prior to vesting. The fair value of
these units is the market price of Sunoco’s common units on the grant date, and is amortized over the five-year vesting period using the straight-line method. Unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership included in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income was $19 million, $17 million and $17 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of phantom units vested for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, was $16 million, $14 million and $16 million, respectively, based on the market price of Sunoco’s common units as of the vesting date. Unrecognized compensation expenses related to our unvested phantom units totaled $68 million as of December 31, 2025, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.17 years.

Sunoco Cash Restricted Units. Beginning in 2024, the Partnership also granted cash restricted units, which vest through three years of service.
