Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Operations NuStar Energy L.P. (NYSE: NS) is a Delaware limited partnership primarily engaged in the transportation, terminalling and storage of petroleum products and renewable fuels and the transportation of anhydrous ammonia. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “NuStar Energy,” “NS,” “the Partnership,” “we,” “our” and “us” are used in this report to refer to NuStar Energy L.P., to one or more of our consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole. Our business is managed under the direction of the board of directors of NuStar GP, LLC, the general partner of our general partner, Riverwalk Logistics, L.P., both of which are indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. We conduct our operations through our subsidiaries, primarily NuStar Logistics, L.P. (NuStar Logistics) and NuStar Pipeline Operating Partnership L.P. (NuPOP). We have three business segments: pipeline, storage and fuels marketing. Recent Developments COVID-19. The coronavirus, or COVID-19, had a severe negative impact on global economic activity during 2020, significantly reducing demand for petroleum products and increasing the volatility of crude oil prices, beginning in March 2020. Amid signs of stabilization and improvement across the U.S. economy in 2021, ongoing uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause volatility and could have a significant impact on management’s estimates and assumptions in 2021 and beyond. Senior Notes. On February 1, 2021, we repaid our $300.0 million of 6.75% senior notes at maturity with borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. Term Loan Credit Agreement. On February 16, 2021, we terminated an unsecured term loan credit agreement with certain lenders and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as administrative agent for the lenders (the Term Loan). Please refer to Note 5 for further discussion about the Term Loan. Selby Terminal Fire. On October 15, 2019, our terminal facility in Selby, California experienced a fire that destroyed two storage tanks and temporarily shut down the terminal. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received insurance proceeds of $20.5 million and for the year ended December 31, 2020, we received insurance proceeds of $35.0 million, including $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Gains from business interruption insurance of $4.0 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, are included in “Operating expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Insurance proceeds relate to cleanup costs and business interruption and are therefore included in “Cash flows from operating activities” in the consolidated statement of cash flows. We believe we have adequate insurance to offset additional costs. Basis of Presentation These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and subsidiaries in which the Partnership has a controlling interest. Inter-partnership balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all disclosures are adequate. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We have reclassified certain previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to current-period presentation. |

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance intended to simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock, requiring the calculation of diluted earnings-per-unit to include the effect of potential unit settlement for any convertible instruments that may be settled in either cash or units, and amending the disclosure requirements for convertible instruments. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Amendments may be applied using either a modified retrospective approach or a fully retrospective approach. We plan to adopt the amended guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the impact of this amended guidance on our financial position, results of operations and disclosures and plan to provide additional information about the expected impact at a future date. |
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

Goodwill, Impaired [Abstract] | |
GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT | GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil-producing nations (OPEC+) resulted in severe disruptions in the capital and commodities markets, which led to significant decline in our unit price. As a result, our equity market capitalization fell significantly. The decline in crude oil prices and demand for petroleum products also led to a decline in expected earnings from some of our goodwill reporting units. These factors and others related to COVID-19 and OPEC+ caused us to conclude there were triggering events that occurred in March 2020 that required us to perform a goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020. We recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $225.0 million in the first quarter of 2020, which is reported in the pipeline segment. Our assessment did not identify any other reporting units at risk of a goodwill impairment. We calculated the estimated fair value of each of our reporting units using a weighted-average of values determined from an income approach and a market approach. The income approach involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit by discounting its estimated future cash flows using a discount rate that would be consistent with a market participant’s assumption. The market approach bases the fair value measurement on information obtained from observed stock prices of public companies and recent merger and acquisition transaction data of comparable entities. In order to estimate the fair value of goodwill, management must make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the total fair value of the reporting unit including, among other things, an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, discount rates and growth rates. Management’s estimates of projected cash flows related to the reporting unit include, but are not limited to, future earnings of the reporting unit, assumptions about the use or disposition of assets included in the reporting unit, estimated remaining lives of those assets, and future expenditures necessary to maintain the asset’s existing service potential. The assumptions in the fair value measurement reflect the current market environment, industry-specific factors and company-specific factors. We assess goodwill for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate it might be impaired, and completed our most recent quantitative assessment on October 1, 2020. Although we determined that no impairment charges resulted from our October 1, 2020 impairment assessment, the fair value of the crude oil pipelines reporting unit, which is included in the pipeline reporting segment, exceeded its carrying value by approximately 4.0%. The goodwill associated with the crude oil pipelines reporting unit totaled $308.6 million as of June 30, 2021 and October 1, 2020. Considering that the carrying value of the reporting unit was written down to its fair value with the first quarter of 2020 impairment charge discussed above, changes to certain assumptions used in our estimate could cause the fair value to be less than the carrying value of the crude oil pipelines reporting unit, resulting in an impairment. We did not identify any factors that warrant an interim goodwill impairment test or an evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of our long-lived assets as of June 30, 2021. 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, including uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, could differ significantly from actual results and lead to a different determination of the fair value of our assets. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DEBT | DEBT Revolving Credit Agreement On February 16, 2021, NuStar Logistics amended its $1.0 billion revolving credit agreement due October 27, 2023 (the Revolving Credit Agreement) to, among other things, expand certain adjustments related to our maximum consolidated debt coverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2021, we had $185.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $809.8 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement totaled $5.2 million as of June 30, 2021 and limit the amount we can borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by NuStar Energy and NuPOP. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for U.S. dollar borrowings, which bear interest, at our option, based on an alternative base rate or a LIBOR-based rate. The interest rate on the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to adjustment if our debt rating is downgraded (or upgraded) by certain credit rating agencies. As of June 30, 2021, our weighted-average interest rate related to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement was 2.6%. The Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to maximum consolidated debt coverage ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio requirements, which may limit the amount we can borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement to an amount less than the total amount available for borrowing. For the rolling period of four quarters ended June 30, 2021, the consolidated debt coverage ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) could not exceed 5.00-to-1.00 and the consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) must not be less than 1.75-to-1.00. As of June 30, 2021, we believe that we are in compliance with the covenants in the Revolving Credit Agreement. NuStar Logistics Senior Notes Senior Note Repayment. We repaid our $300.0 million of 6.75% senior notes due February 1, 2021 with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Current Maturities. We expect to fund senior note maturities in February 2022 by utilizing borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Therefore, these senior note maturities are classified as long-term debt. Term Loan Credit Agreement On April 19, 2020, NuStar Energy and NuStar Logistics entered into an unsecured term loan credit agreement with certain lenders and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as administrative agent for the lenders. The Term Loan provided for an aggregate commitment of up to $750.0 million pursuant to a three-year unsecured term loan credit facility. NuStar Logistics drew $500.0 million on April 21, 2020, which we repaid on September 16, 2020. On February 16, 2021, we terminated the Term Loan. Receivables Financing Agreement NuStar Energy and NuStar Finance LLC (NuStar Finance), a special purpose entity and wholly owned subsidiary of NuStar Energy, are parties to a $100.0 million receivables financing agreement with a third-party lender (the Receivables Financing Agreement) and agreements with certain of NuStar Energy’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Securitization Program). NuStar Energy provides a performance guarantee in connection with the Securitization Program. NuStar Finance’s sole activity consists of purchasing receivables from NuStar Energy’s subsidiaries that participate in the Securitization Program and providing these receivables as collateral for NuStar Finance’s revolving borrowings under the Securitization Program. NuStar Finance is a separate legal entity and the assets of NuStar Finance, including these accounts receivable, are not available to satisfy the claims of creditors of NuStar Energy, its subsidiaries selling receivables under the Securitization Program or their affiliates. The amount available for borrowing is based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions. Borrowings by NuStar Finance under the Receivables Financing Agreement bear interest at the applicable bank rate, as defined under the Receivables Financing Agreement. The weighted average interest rate related to outstanding borrowings under the Securitization Program as of June 30, 2021 was 2.3%. As of June 30, 2021, $125.4 million of our accounts receivable was included in the Securitization Program. The amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement totaled $74.2 million as of June 30, 2021. Fair Value of Long-Term Debt The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of long-term debt, excluding finance leases, were as follows: June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 (Thousands of Dollars) Fair value $ 3,793,490 $ 3,799,378 Carrying amount $ 3,443,530 $ 3,539,258 We have estimated the fair value of our publicly traded notes based upon quoted prices in active markets; therefore, we determined that the fair value of our publicly traded notes falls in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. With regard to our other debt, for which a quoted market price is not available, we have estimated the fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis using current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements and determined that the fair value falls in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount includes net fair value adjustments, unamortized discounts and unamortized debt issuance costs. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We have contingent liabilities resulting from various litigation, claims and commitments. We record accruals for loss contingencies when losses are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees associated with defending the Partnership in legal matters are expensed as incurred. We accrued $0.1 million and $2.6 million for contingent losses as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The amount that will ultimately be paid related to such matters may differ from the recorded accruals, and the timing of such payments is uncertain. We evaluate each contingent loss at least quarterly, and more frequently as each matter progresses and develops over time, and we do not believe that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding, or all matters in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES We utilize various derivative instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor interest rates, futures and swap positions and over-the-counter positions, as well as physical commodity volumes, grades, locations and delivery schedules, to help ensure that our hedging activities address our market risks. Derivative financial instruments associated with commodity price risk with respect to our petroleum product inventories and related firm commitments to purchase and/or sell such inventories were not material for any periods presented. We were a party to certain interest rate swap agreements to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates, which consisted of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements related to a forecasted debt issuance in 2020. We entered into these swaps in order to hedge the risk of fluctuations in the required interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate during the period from the effective date of the swap to the issuance of the forecasted debt. Under the terms of the swaps, we paid a weighted-average fixed rate and received a rate based on the three-month USD LIBOR. These swaps qualified as cash flow hedges, and we designated them as such. We recorded mark-to-market adjustments as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (AOCI), and the amount in AOCI is recognized in “Interest expense, net” as the forecasted interest payments occur or if the interest payments are probable not to occur. In June 2020, we terminated forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million and paid $49.2 million, which is amortized into “Interest expense, net” as the related forecasted interest payments occur. Our forward-starting interest rate swaps had the following impact on earnings: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Thousands of Dollars) Loss recognized in other comprehensive loss on derivative $ — $ (461) $ — $ (30,291) Loss reclassified from AOCI into interest expense, net $ (1,335) $ (878) $ (2,683) $ (1,525) As of June 30, 2021, we expect to reclassify a loss of $4.0 million to “Interest expense, net” within the next twelve months associated with unwound forward-starting interest rate swaps. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON UNIT | NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON UNIT Basic net income (loss) per common unit is determined pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, all earnings are allocated to our limited partners and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive distributions earned during the period. Participating securities include restricted units awarded under our long-term incentive plans. We compute basic net income (loss) per common unit by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common units by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. We compute diluted net income (loss) per common unit by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common units by the sum of (i) the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period and (ii) the effect of dilutive potential common units outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common units may include contingently issuable performance unit awards and the Series D Preferred Units. The Series D Preferred Units are convertible into common units at the option of the holder at any time on or after June 29, 2020. As such, we calculated the dilutive effect of the Series D Preferred Units using the if-converted method. The effect of the assumed conversion of the Series D Preferred Units outstanding as of the end of each period presented was antidilutive; therefore, we did not include such conversion in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common unit. Contingently issuable performance units are included as dilutive potential common units if it is probable that that performance measures will be achieved, unless to do so would be antidilutive. There were no dilutive potential common units outstanding related to the performance units for all periods presented. The following table details the calculation of net income (loss) per common unit: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Thousands of Dollars, Except Unit and Per Unit Data) Net income (loss) $ 63,383 $ 29,766 $ 105,640 $ (117,875) Distributions to preferred limited partners (31,887) (30,684) (63,774) (61,107) Distributions to common limited partners (43,814) (43,678) (87,648) (87,408) Distribution equivalent rights to restricted units (586) (502) (1,184) (1,008) Distributions in excess of income (loss) $ (12,904) $ (45,098) $ (46,966) $ (267,398) Distributions to common limited partners $ 43,814 $ 43,678 $ 87,648 $ 87,408 Allocation of distributions in excess of income (loss) (12,904) (45,098) (46,966) (267,398) Series D Preferred Unit accretion (4,155) (5,064) (8,176) (9,966) Net income (loss) attributable to common units $ 26,755 $ (6,484) $ 32,506 $ (189,956) Basic and diluted weighted-average common units outstanding 109,529,658 109,194,722 109,518,004 109,046,061 Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common unit $ 0.25 $ (0.06) $ 0.30 $ (1.74) |

We expect to complete the sale by the beginning of the fourth quarter and will utilize the sales proceeds to improve our debt metrics. The book value at closing, including an allocation of goodwill for the terminal reporting unit, is expected to exceed the agreed purchase price and result in an estimated non-cash loss in the range of $130.0 million to $140.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. |
