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 in the Gulf Coast region of the United States 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 soda ash business (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 processing of high sulfur (or "sour") gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and selling the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or "NaHS", commonly pronounced "nash"); •Onshore facilities and transportation, which include terminalling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil, petroleum products, and CO2; 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, 2019 (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 Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ("CISA") and we have continued to operate our assets during this pandemic. Covid-19 has caused commodity prices to decline due to, among other things, reduced industrial activity and travel demand that are expected to continue in the near future. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, our results were negatively impacted, primarily through lower volumes and demand for our assets, by the macroeconomic conditions and current operating environment. Additionally, as a result of lower current demand and the outlook for our crude-by-rail logistics assets, and rail becoming an uneconomic means of transportation for producers to get crude oil to their refineries, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge associated with these assets in our onshore facilities and transportation segment during the second quarter of 2020 (refer to Note 6 for additional discussion). In response to the pandemic and as part of our overall cost savings strategy, during the second quarter of 2020 we recorded a one-time charge of approximately $13 million associated with restructuring and severance expenses incurred during the period. In addition to Covid-19, which continued to negatively impact our results due to the lower demand and volumes across our businesses during the third quarter of 2020, we experienced several hurricanes, including Hurricane Laura, which caused downtime and damage to certain of our assets in the Gulf of Mexico causing a one-time increase in operating costs of approximately $5 million in our offshore pipeline transportation segment. As we exited the third quarter of 2020, we began to see a slight recovery in volumes and demand as certain regions of the United States and the world begin to re-open their economies. We considered the impact of lower commodity prices and Covid-19 on the assumptions and estimates reflected in our financial statements. We believe we are still well positioned and have adequate liquidity, especially when considering our recurring and estimated nonrecurring cash obligations, to operate through the rest of the pandemic and continue our natural path of deleveraging our balance sheet.
