Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Nature of Business | (1) Organization and Nature of Business CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed by CVR Energy, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, but excluding the Partnership and its subsidiaries, “CVR Energy”) to own, operate and grow its nitrogen fertilizer business. The Partnership produces nitrogen fertilizer products at two manufacturing facilities, which are located in Coffeyville, Kansas (the “Coffeyville Facility”) and East Dubuque, Illinois (the “East Dubuque Facility”). Both facilities manufacture ammonia and are able to further upgrade to other nitrogen fertilizer products, principally urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”). Nitrogen fertilizer is used by farmers to improve the yield and quality of their crops, primarily corn and wheat. The Partnership’s products are sold on a wholesale basis in the United States. As used in these financial statements, references to CVR Partners, the Partnership, “we”, “us”, and “our” may refer to consolidated subsidiaries of CVR Partners or one or both of the facilities, as the context may require. Interest Holders As of December 31, 2021, public common unitholders held approximately 64% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner interests; CVR Services, LLC (“CVR Services”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held approximately 36% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partner interests; and CVR GP, LLC (“CVR GP” or the “general partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of CVR Energy, held 100% of the Partnership’s general partner interest. As of December 31, 2021, Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“IEP”) and its affiliates owned approximately 71% of the common stock of CVR Energy. Unit Repurchase Program On May 6, 2020, the board of directors of the Partnership’s general partner (the “Board”), on behalf of the Partnership, authorized a unit repurchase program (the “Unit Repurchase Program”). The Unit Repurchase Program enables the Partnership to repurchase up to $10 million of the Partnership’s common units. On February 22, 2021, the Board authorized an additional $10 million for the Unit Repurchase Program. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Partnership repurchased 24,378 common units on the open market in accordance with a repurchase agreement under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at a cost of $0.5 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $21.70 per common unit. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the 1-for-10 reverse unit split of the Partnership’s common units that was effective as of November 23, 2020, the Partnership repurchased 623,177 common units, respectively, at a cost of $7.1 million, inclusive of transaction costs, or an average price of $11.35 per common unit. As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had $12.4 million in authority remaining under the Unit Repurchase Program. This Unit Repurchase Program does not obligate the Partnership to acquire any common units and may be cancelled or terminated by the Board at any time. Management and Operations The Partnership, including CVR GP, is led by the Board and its committees and managed by the general partner’s executive officers, CVR Services (as sole member of the general partner), and certain officers of CVR Energy and its subsidiaries, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as well as a number of agreements between the Partnership, CVR GP, CVR Energy, and certain of their respective subsidiaries, including a service agreement. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for further discussion. Common unitholders have limited voting rights on matters affecting the Partnership and have no right to elect the general partner’s directors or officers, whether on an annual or continuing basis or otherwise. Subsequent Events The Partnership evaluated subsequent events, if any, that would require an adjustment to the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements or require disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Where applicable, the notes to these consolidated financial statements have been updated to discuss all significant subsequent events which have occurred. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), include the accounts of CVR Partners and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made within the consolidated financial statements for prior periods to conform with current presentation. Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit, investments in highly liquid money market accounts, and debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net primarily consist of customer accounts receivable recorded at the invoiced amounts and generally do not bear interest. Also included within Accounts Receivable are unbilled fixed price contracts which is discussed further within Note 6 (“Revenue”). Allowances for doubtful accounts are generally recorded when it becomes probable the receivable will not be collected and is booked to bad debt expense. The largest concentration of credit for any one customer was approximately 22% and 20% of the net accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Bad debt expense was $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Inventories Inventories consist of fertilizer products which are valued at the lower of FIFO cost, or net realizable value. Inventories also include raw materials (primarily gauze, natural gas, and pet coke) and parts and supplies that are valued at the lower of moving-average cost, which approximates FIFO, or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes inbound freight costs. Inventories consisted of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Finished goods $ 17,141 $ 9,815 Raw materials 833 152 Parts, supplies and other 34,296 32,382 Total inventories $ 52,270 $ 42,349 At December 31, 2021 and 2020, inventories included depreciation of approximately $3.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment, net Additions to property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest and certain costs allocable to construction and property purchases, are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that increase economic benefit or returns and/or extend useful life are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable assets. The lives used in computing depreciation for significant asset classes are as follows: Asset Range of Useful Lives, in Years Land and improvements 10 to 30 Buildings and improvements 3 to 30 Automotive equipment 5 to 30 Machinery and equipment 1 to 30 Other 3 to 10 Property, plant and equipment, net consisted of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Machinery and equipment $ 1,410,203 $ 1,388,735 Buildings and improvements 17,598 17,598 Automotive equipment 16,433 16,608 Land and improvements 14,199 14,132 Construction in progress 14,167 12,098 Other 2,221 1,721 1,474,821 1,450,892 Less: Accumulated depreciation (624,359) (553,045) Total property, plant and equipment, net $ 850,462 $ 897,847 Leasehold improvements and assets held under finance leases are depreciated or amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the contractual lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. Such expenses are reported in Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had not identified the existence of an impairment indicator for our long-lived asset groups as outlined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . Leases At inception, the Partnership determines whether an arrangement is a lease and the appropriate lease classification. Operating leases are included as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets within Other long-term assets and lease liabilities within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included as ROU finance leases within Property, plant, and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities within Other current liabilities and Long-term debt, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Partnership recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. ROU assets represent the Partnership’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate with a maturity similar to the lease term, as our leases do not generally provide an implicit rate. The lease term is modified to reflect options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise such option. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise, in which case the depreciation policy in the “Property, Plant and Equipment, net” section above is applicable. The periodic lease payments are treated as payments of the lease obligation and interest is recorded as interest expense. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-lived assets (excluding goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives, and deferred tax assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds their fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, while intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Partnership uses November 1 of each year as its annual valuation date for its goodwill impairment test. One of the Partnership’s reporting units, the Coffeyville Facility, had a goodwill balance of $41.0 million at December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, following completion of the spring planting season, the market pricing for ammonia and UAN, which are the facility’s two primary products, experienced significant pricing declines driven by updated market expectations around supply and demand fundamentals which were expected to continue into the second half of 2020. Additionally, significant uncertainty remained as to the nature and extent of impacts to be seen on the overall demand for corn and soybean given reduced ethanol production and broader economic conditions which may negatively impacted demand. Therefore, in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020, given the pricing declines experienced in the second quarter of 2020, further muting of the Partnership’s near-term economic recovery assumptions, and market price performance of the Partnership’s common units, the Partnership concluded an impairment indicator was present and a triggering event under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other , had occurred as of June 30, 2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies are goodwill include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and cost of capital. Based on the interim quantitative analysis, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. As a result, the Partnership recorded a full non-cash impairment charge of $41.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. As there was no goodwill remaining as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no annual impairment review was performed. The Partnership performed the annual impairment review of goodwill for 2019 associated with the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit and concluded there were no impairments. For the period ended December 31, 2019, no events or circumstances were identified which would trigger the performance of a quantitative analysis after reviewing all qualitative factors impacting the reporting unit including improved market conditions, financial results, and financial forecasts from those used in the fair value analysis for December 31, 2018, which resulted in the fair value of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit exceeding its carrying value by approximately 36%. Loss Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, CVR Partners may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory, and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Partnership accrues liabilities for these matters if the Partnership has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accrued amounts are reflected in Other current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities depending on when the Company expects to expend such amounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no matters or contingencies that require recognition or disclosure. Environmental, Health & Safety (“EHS”) Matters The Partnership is subject to various stringent federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety rules and regulations. Liabilities related to future remediation costs of past environmental contamination of properties are recognized when the related costs are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, internal and third-party assessments of contamination, available remediation technology, site-specific costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting environmental liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries. Loss contingency accruals, including those for environmental remediation, are subject to revision as further information develops or circumstances change and such accruals can take into account the legal liability of other parties. Management periodically reviews and, as appropriate, revises its environmental accruals. Environmental expenditures for capital assets are capitalized at the time of the expenditure when such costs provide future economic benefits. Accrued amounts are reflected in Other current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities depending on when the Company expects to expend such amounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no liabilities have been recognized for environmental remediation matters as no matters have been identified that are considered to be probable or estimable. Revenue Recognition The Partnership recognizes revenue based on consideration specified in contracts or agreements with customers when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control over products or services to a customer. The adoption of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , resulted in the recognition of deferred revenue and related receivables, on a gross basis, associated with contracts that guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer products in quantities expected to be delivered in the normal course of business. Other accounting policies relevant to revenue include: • Revenue transactions that pass control at customers’ designated facilities; • Non-monetary product exchanges which are entered into in the normal course of business are included on a net cost basis in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and • Pass-through finished goods delivery costs reimbursed by customers are reported in net sales, while an offsetting expense is included in cost of materials and other. Other considerations - Excise and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from reported revenues. Cost Classifications Cost of materials and other consist primarily of freight and distribution expenses, feedstock expenses, purchased ammonia, and purchased hydrogen. Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) consist primarily of energy and other utility costs, direct costs of labor, property taxes, plant-related maintenance services, including turnaround, and environmental and safety compliance costs, as well as catalyst and chemical costs. Each of these financial statement line items are also impacted by changes in inventory balances. Direct operating expenses also include allocated share-based compensation from CVR Energy and its subsidiaries, as discussed in Note 7 (“Share-Based Compensation”). Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal expenses, treasury, accounting, marketing, human resources, information technology, and maintaining the corporate and administrative offices in Texas and Kansas. Share-Based Compensation The Partnership accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Currently, all of the Partnership’s share-based compensation awards are liability-classified and are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period based on the applicable closing unit price. Compensation expense will fluctuate based on changes in the applicable unit price value and expense reversals resulting from employee terminations prior to award vesting. See Note 7 (“Share-Based Compensation”) for further discussion. Income Taxes CVR Partners accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Allocation of Costs CVR Energy and its subsidiaries provide a variety of services to the Partnership, including employee benefits provided through CVR Energy’s benefit plans, administrative services provided by CVR Energy’s employees and management, insurance, and office space leased by CVR Energy. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include costs that have been incurred by CVR Energy on behalf of the Partnership. These amounts incurred by CVR Energy are then billed or allocated to the Partnership and are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as either Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) or as Selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for a detailed discussion of the billing procedures and the basis for calculating the charges for specific products and services. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Income Taxes Standard In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and modifies other areas of the topic to clarify the application of GAAP. Certain amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Codification Improvements Standard In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The ASU amends various sections of the codification in the FASB’s ongoing efforts to simplify and improve guidance. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU was issued because, by the end of 2022, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is used globally by all types of entities. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued, as well as other interest rates used globally. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional expedients for contract modifications under Topics 310, 470, 842, and 815-15, excluded components of certain hedging relationships, fair value hedges, and cash flow hedges, as well as certain exceptions, which are intended to help ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from these reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | (3) Leases Lease Overview We lease railcars and certain facilities and equipment to support the Partnership’s operations. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments which are adjusted periodically for factors such as inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Additionally, we do not have any material lessor or sub-leasing arrangements. Balance Sheet Summary at December 31, 2021 and 2020 The following tables summarize the ROU asset and lease liability balances for the Partnership’s operating and finance leases at December 31, 2021 and 2020: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (in thousands) Operating Leases Finance Leases Operating Leases Finance Leases ROU asset, net Railcars $ 4,570 $ — $ 7,327 $ — Real estate and other 2,755 34 3,040 101 Lease liability Railcars $ 4,570 $ — $ 7,696 $ — Real estate and other 665 — 867 105 Lease Expense Summary for the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and short-term lease expense within Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, we recognized lease expense comprised of the following components: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Operating lease expense $ 3,827 $ 4,113 $ 3,122 Finance lease expense: Amortization of ROU asset $ 102 $ 101 $ 322 Interest expense on lease liability 2 6 10 Short-term lease expense $ 552 $ 372 $ 417 Lease Terms and Discount Rates The following outlines the remaining lease terms and discount rates used in the measurement of the Partnership’s ROU assets and liabilities: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Operating Leases Finance Leases Operating Leases Finance Leases Weighted-average remaining lease term 2.1 years 0.0 years 2.9 years 1.3 years Weighted-average discount rate 5.1 % — % 5.1 % 4.0 % Maturities of Lease Liabilities The following summarizes the remaining minimum operating lease payments through maturity of the Partnership’s ROU assets and liabilities at December 31, 2021.

On February 21, 2022, the Partnership entered into the First Amendment to the On-Site Product Supply Agreement (the “Messer Amendment”, and collectively, the “Amended Messer Agreement”) with Messer. Under the Amended Messer Agreement, among other obligations, Messer is obligated to supply and make certain capital improvements during the term of the Amended Messer Agreement, and the Partnership is obligated to take as available and pay for, oxygen, nitrogen, and compressed dry air from Messer’s facility. This arrangement for the Partnership’s purchase of oxygen, nitrogen, and dry air from Messer does not meet the definition of a lease under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”), as the Partnership does not expect to receive substantially all of the output of Messer’s on-site production from its air separation unit over the life of the Amended Messer Agreement. The Amended Messer Agreement also obligates Messer to install a new oxygen storage vessel, related equipment and infrastructure (“Oxygen Storage Vessel” or “Vessel”) to be used solely by the Coffeyville Facility. The arrangement for the use of the Oxygen Storage Vessel meets the definition of a lease under Topic 842, as the Partnership will receive all output associated with the Vessel. Based on terms outlined in the Amended Messer Agreement, the Partnership expects the lease of the Oxygen Storage Vessel to be classified as a financing lease with an amount of approximately $25 million being capitalized upon lease commencement when the Vessel is placed in service. |

(3) For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, amortization expense for deferred financing costs were approximately $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due June 2028 On June 23, 2021, CVR Partners and its subsidiary, CVR Nitrogen Finance Corporation (“Finance Co.” and, together with CVR Partners, the “Issuers”), completed a private offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Secured Notes due June 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 each year, commencing on December 15, 2021. The 2028 Notes mature on June 15, 2028, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Issuers. The 2028 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all the existing domestic subsidiaries of CVR Partners, excluding Finance Co. In relation to the issuance of the 2028 Notes, the Partnership received $546.7 million of net cash proceeds, net of underwriting fees and other third-party fees and expenses associated with the offering. The debt issuance costs of the 2028 Notes totaled approximately $3.9 million and are being amortized over the term of the 2028 Notes as interest expense using the effective-interest amortization method. We may, at our option, at any time and from time to time prior to June 15, 2024, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or part of the 2028 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after June 15, 2024, we may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or part of the 2028 Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, expressed as a percentage of the principal amount of the respective notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. 12-month period beginning June 15, Percentage 2024 103.063% 2025 101.531% 2026 and thereafter 100.000% The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains covenants that are substantially the same as the indenture governing the 2023 Notes. However, the 2028 Notes contain a permitted investment activity carveout that allows for the transfer of certain carbon capture assets to a joint venture for the purpose of monetizing potential tax credits. 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due June 2023 On June 10, 2016, CVR Partners and Finance Co. (together the “2023 Notes Issuers”), certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and as collateral trustee, completed a private offering of $645 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”).

On or after June 15, 2021, the 2023 Notes Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2023 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date. The 2023 Notes contain customary covenants for a financing of this type that, among other things, restrict CVR Partners’ ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) sell assets; (ii) pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase the Partnership’s units or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt; (iii) make investments; (iv) incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units; (v) create or incur certain liens; (vi) enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from the Partnerships’ restricted subsidiaries to the Partnership; (vii) consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the Partnerships’ assets; (viii) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. In addition, the indenture contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which would result in or permit the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the 2023 Notes to cause the acceleration of the 2023 Notes, in addition to the pursuit of other available remedies. On June 23, 2021, the Partnership redeemed $550 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2023 Notes at par and settled accrued interest of approximately $1.1 million through the date of redemption. As a result of this transaction, the Partnership recognized in Interest expense, net a $7.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2021, which includes the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discount of $2.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

ABL Credit Agreement On September 30, 2021, CVR Partners, LP and its subsidiaries, CVR Nitrogen, LP, East Dubuque Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC, CVR Nitrogen Holdings, LLC, Finance Co. and CVR Nitrogen GP, LLC, entered into the ABL Credit Facility with Wells Fargo Bank National Association, a national banking association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent, collateral agent, and lender. The ABL Credit Facility has an aggregate principal amount of availability of up to $35.0 million with an incremental facility, which permits an increase in borrowings of up to $15.0 million in the aggregate subject to additional lender commitments and certain other conditions. The proceeds of the loans may be used for general corporate purposes of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The ABL Credit Facility provides for loans and letters of credit, subject to meeting certain borrowing base conditions, with sub-limits of $3.5 million for swingline loans and $10.0 million for letters of credit. The ABL Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on September 30, 2024. Loans under the ABL Credit Facility initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to, at the option of the borrowers, (i) 1.615% plus SOFR or (ii) 0.615% plus a base rate. Based on the previous quarter’s excess availability, such annual rate could increase to, at the option of the borrowers, (i) 2.115% plus SOFR or (ii) 1.115% plus a base rate. The borrowers must also pay a commitment fee on the unutilized commitments and also pay customary letter of credit fees. The ABL Credit Facility contains customary covenants for a financing of this type and requires the Partnership in certain circumstances to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test and contains other restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Partnership and its subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur liens, engage in a consolidation, merger, purchase or sale of assets, pay dividends, incur indebtedness, make advances, investments and loans, enter into affiliate transactions, issue certain equity interests, create subsidiaries and unrestricted subsidiaries, and create certain restrictions on the ability to make distributions, loans, and asset transfers among the Partnership or its subsidiaries. In connection with the ABL Credit Facility, the Partnership incurred lender and other third-party costs of $0.8 million which have been deferred in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the ABL Credit Facility using the straight-line amortization method. Covenant Compliance The Partnership and its subsidiaries were in compliance with all covenants under their respective debt instruments as of December 31, 2021. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | (6) Revenue The following table presents the Partnership’s revenue, disaggregated by major product: Year Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 2019 Ammonia $ 146,140 $ 94,117 $ 94,467 UAN 316,014 198,258 251,199 Urea products 28,746 14,115 17,430 Net sales, exclusive of freight and other 490,900 306,490 363,096 Freight revenue 31,419 33,329 33,436 Other revenue 10,262 10,134 7,645 Net sales $ 532,581 $ 349,953 $ 404,177 The Partnership sells its products on a wholesale basis under a contract or by purchase order. The Partnership’s contracts with customers generally contain fixed pricing and most have terms of less than one year. The Partnership recognizes revenue at the point in time at which the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer. The customer acceptance point is stated in the contract and may be at one of the Partnership’s manufacturing facilities, at one of the Partnership’s off-site loading facilities, or at the customer’s designated facility. Freight revenue recognized by the Partnership represents the pass-through finished goods delivery costs incurred prior to customer acceptance and is reimbursed by customers. An offsetting expense for freight is included in Cost of materials and other. Qualifying taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in reported revenues. Depending on the product sold and the type of contract, payments from customers are generally either due prior to delivery or within 15 to 30 days of product delivery. The Partnership generally provides no warranty other than the implicit promise that goods delivered are free of liens and encumbrances and meet the agreed upon specifications. Product returns are rare, and as such, the Partnership does not record a specific warranty reserve or consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. The Partnership has an immaterial amount of variable consideration for contracts with an original duration of less than a year. A small portion of the Partnership’s revenue includes contracts extending beyond one year, some of which contain variable pricing in which the majority of the variability is attributed to the market-based pricing. The Partnership’s contracts do not contain a significant financing component. The Partnership has an immaterial amount of fee-based revenue, included in other revenue in the table above, that is recognized based on the net amount of the proceeds received. Transaction Price - Allocation to Remaining Performance Obligations As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had approximately $10.2 million of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of more than one year. The Partnership expects to recognize approximately $6.0 million of these performance obligations as revenue by the end of 2022, an additional $4.0 million in 2023, and the remaining balance thereafter. The Partnership has elected to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of less than one year. The Partnership has elected to not disclose variable consideration allocated to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations that are based on market prices that have not yet been determined. Contract Balances The Partnership’s deferred revenue is a contract liability that primarily relates to nitrogen fertilizer sales contracts requiring customer prepayment prior to product delivery to guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer. Deferred revenue is recorded at the point in time in which a prepaid contract is legally enforceable and the associated right to consideration is unconditional prior to transferring product to the customer. An associated receivable is recorded for uncollected prepaid contract amounts. Contracts requiring prepayment are generally short-term in nature and, as discussed above, revenue is recognized at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-Based Compensation | (7) Share-Based Compensation Overview CVR Partners has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“CVR Partners LTIP”) which permits the granting of options, stock and unit appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares, restricted stock units, phantom units, unit awards, substitute awards, other unit-based awards, cash awards, dividend and distribution equivalent rights, share awards, and performance awards (including performance share units, performance units, and performance-based restricted stock). Individuals who are eligible to receive awards under or in connection with the CVR Partners LTIP include any director, officer, employee, employee candidate, consultant or advisor of the Partnership, its subsidiaries, or its parent. CVR Partners’ Phantom Unit Awards and Compensation Expense Phantom unit awards have been granted to officers, employees, and directors (the “Share-Based Awards”). As a result, Share-Based Awards that reflect the value and distributions of CVR Partners, as applicable, have been granted and remain outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Each Share-Based Award and the related distribution equivalent right represents the right to receive, upon vesting, a cash payment equal to (i) the average fair market value of one unit, in accordance with the award agreement, plus (ii) the per unit cash value of all distributions declared and paid, as applicable, from the grant date through the vesting date. The Share-Based Awards are generally graded-vesting awards, which vest over three years with one-third of the award vesting each year the grantee remains employed by the Partnership and its subsidiaries. Compensation expense is recognized ratably, based on service provided to the Partnership and its subsidiaries, with the amount recognized fluctuating as a result of the Share-Based Awards being re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period due to their liability-award classification. A summary of phantom unit award activity during the year ended December 31, 2021 is presented below: (in thousands, except per unit data) Units (1) Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value Aggregate Intrinsic Value Non-vested at December 31, 2020 518,881 $ 14.70 $ 8,312 Granted 46,581 80.61 Vested (189,177) 14.21 Forfeited (14,445) 11.67 Non-vested at December 31, 2021 361,840 $ 18.89 $ 29,921 (1) As of December 31, 2021, there are no outstanding awards under the CVR Partners LTIP, and the only outstanding and unvested phantom awards are issued in connection with, not under, the CVR Partners LTIP. Unrecognized compensation expense associated with the phantom units at December 31, 2021 was approximately $19.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. Compensation expense recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 related to these awards was approximately $27.0 million, $0.6 million, and $2.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership had a liability of $9.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for cash settled non-vested phantom unit awards and associated distribution equivalent rights and, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, paid cash of $11.1 million, $0.5 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, to settle liability-classified awards upon vesting. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, CVR Energy had a liability associated with the CVR Partners LTIP of $3.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for cash settled non-vested phantom unit awards and associated distribution equivalent rights and, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, paid cash of $4.4 million, $0.3 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, to settle liability-classified awards upon vesting under the CVR Partners LTIP. Incentive Unit Awards — CVR Energy CVR Energy grants awards of incentive units and dividend equivalent rights to certain of its employees and those of its subsidiaries, including CVR GP, who provide shared services for CVR Energy and its subsidiaries, including the Partnership. Costs related to these incentive unit awards are allocated to the Partnership based on time spent on Partnership business. Total compensation expense allocated to the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 related to the incentive units was $2.3 million, $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The Partnership had no separate liabilities related to these incentive unit awards as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as the allocation of compensation expense for incentive unit awards is part of the amount charged to the Partnership under the Corporate MSA. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2019, the Partnership had no reimbursements related to its allocated portion of CVR Energy’s incentive unit awards payments, respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Partnership made reimbursements to CVR Energy of $2.2 million. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for further discussion of the Corporate MSA. Performance Unit Awards Pursuant to the employment agreement, as amended, with the Partnership’s Executive Chairman, CVR Energy entered into a performance unit award agreement (the “2017 Performance Unit Award Agreement”) on November 1, 2017 with our Executive Chairman representing the right to receive upon vesting, a cash payment equal to $10.0 million if the average closing price of CVR Energy’s common stock over the 30 day trading period from January 4, 2022 to February 15, 2022 is equal to or greater than $60 per share. Effective as of December 22, 2021, CVR Energy and our Executive Chairman entered into an amendment to the 2017 Performance Unit Award Agreement, which extended the end of the performance period thereunder to December 31, 2024, and changed the 30 day trading period on which the average closing price of CVR Energy’s common stock is based to January 6, 2025 through February 20, 2025. Under the 2017 Performance Unit Award Agreement, for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Partnership recognized a benefit of $0.6 million. No compensation costs were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Under the 2017 Performance Unit Award Agreement, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Partnership had no outstanding liability. Once the performance parameters are probable of being met under the 2017 Performance Unit Award Agreement, the Partnership’s allocated portion of unrecognized compensation costs would be approximately $2.3 million. Other Benefit Plans CVR Energy sponsors and administers two defined contribution 401(k) plans, the CVR Energy 401(k) Plan and the CVR Energy 401(k) Plan for Represented Employees (the “Plans”), in which employees of the general partner, CVR Partners and its subsidiaries may participate. Participants in the Plans may elect to contribute a designated percentage of their eligible compensation in accordance with the Plans, subject to statutory limits. CVR Partners provides a matching contribution of 100% of the first 6% of eligible compensation contributed by participants. Participants in both Plans are immediately vested in their individual contributions. The Plans provide for a three-year vesting schedule for the Partnership’s matching contributions and contain a provision to count service with predecessor organizations. The Partnership did not have contributions under the Plans for the year ended December 31, 2021, as the Partnership’s matching contributions for the Plans were suspended effective January 1, 2021, and had approximately $1.9 million, and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Partnership’s matching contributions for the Plans resumed effective January 1, 2022. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments | (8) Commitments Supply Commitments The minimum required payments for unconditional purchase obligations, including the natural gas purchases outlined below, are as follows: (in thousands) Unconditional Purchase Obligations Year Ending December 31, 2022 $ 41,351 2023 9,261 2024 8,778 2025 8,779 2026 8,779 Thereafter 37,599 $ 114,547 Supply Commitments - The Partnership is a party to various supply agreements with both related and third parties which commit the Partnership to purchase minimum volumes of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, pet coke, and natural gas to run its plants’ operations. The Partnership is also party to a natural gas supply agreement with various third-parties. Natural gas expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 totaled approximately $52.9 million, $32.4 million, and $33.1 million, respectively, and is included in Cost of materials and other and Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Partnership entered into the Coffeyville Master Service Agreement (“Coffeyville MSA”) with Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CVR Energy (“CRRM”), pursuant to which, it agrees to pay a monthly fee for pet coke purchases. The Partnership’s Coffeyville Facility obtains a significant amount (48% on average during last five years, 43% in 2021) of the pet coke it needs from the Coffeyville MSA. Any remaining pet coke needs are required to be purchased from various third parties. The price paid pursuant to the Coffeyville MSA is based on the lesser of a pet coke price derived from the price received for UAN (the “UAN-based Price”) or a pet coke price index. The UAN-based Price begins with a pet coke price of $25 per ton based on a price per ton for UAN that excludes transportation cost (“netback price”) of $205 per ton, and adjusts up or down $0.50 per ton for every $1.00 change in the netback price. The UAN-based price has a ceiling of $40 per ton and a floor of $5 per ton. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for further discussion of the Coffeyville MSA. Pursuant to the Coffeyville MSA, the Partnership agreed, with respect to the Coffeyville Facility, to pay CRRM for hydrogen purchases. The committed hydrogen volume pricing is based on a monthly fixed fee (based on the fixed and capital charges associated with producing the committed volume) and a monthly variable fee (based on the natural gas price associated with hydrogen actually received). In the event the Coffeyville Facility fails to take delivery of the full committed volume in a month, the Partnership remains obligated to pay CRRM for the monthly fixed fee and the monthly variable fee based upon the actual hydrogen volume received, if any. In the event CRRM fails to deliver any portion of the committed volume for the applicable month for any reason other than planned repairs and maintenance, the Partnership will be entitled to a pro-rata reduction of the monthly fixed fee. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for further discussion. The Partnership, with respect to the Coffeyville Facility, is also party to the Messer Agreement, pursuant to which, it is required to take as available and pay for the supply of oxygen and nitrogen to the plant. This agreement was renewed and commenced in July 2020 for an initial term of 15 years with annual renewals thereafter. Expenses associated with this agreement are included in Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), and, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, totaled approximately $3.9 million, $4.2 million, and $4.2 million, respectively. In addition to the related party Coffeyville MSA, the Coffeyville Facility has pet coke supply agreements with multiple third-party refineries to purchase approximately 327,000 tons of pet coke at a fixed price for delivery at different dates through December 2022. The Coffeyville Facility has historically purchased third-party pet coke based on spot purchases and supply agreements in place at the time. The delivered cost of third-party pet coke purchases is included in Cost of materials and other and totaled approximately $17.4 million, $17.9 million, and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. During 2019, the Partnership, with respect to the East Dubuque Facility, entered into a utility service agreement with a new third-party energy cooperative. The new utility service agreement does not contain purchase commitments. The cost of utilities, including natural gas purchases, is included in Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). Prior to entering into the new utility service agreement, the East Dubuque Facility had a utility service agreement with a third-party energy cooperative which included certain charges on a take-or-pay basis and amounts associated with this agreement totaled approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. |

Reclassifications | ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made within the consolidated financial statements for prior periods to conform with current presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis, based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit, investments in highly liquid money market accounts, and debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Accounts Receivable, net | Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net primarily consist of customer accounts receivable recorded at the invoiced amounts and generally do not bear interest. Also included within Accounts Receivable are unbilled fixed price contracts which is discussed further within Note 6 (“Revenue”). |
Inventories | InventoriesInventories consist of fertilizer products which are valued at the lower of FIFO cost, or net realizable value. Inventories also include raw materials (primarily gauze, natural gas, and pet coke) and parts and supplies that are valued at the lower of moving-average cost, which approximates FIFO, or net realizable value. The cost of inventories includes inbound freight costs. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, net | Property, Plant and Equipment, net Additions to property, plant and equipment, including capitalized interest and certain costs allocable to construction and property purchases, are recorded at cost. Expenditures for improvements that increase economic benefit or returns and/or extend useful life are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of depreciable assets. The lives used in computing depreciation for significant asset classes are as follows: Asset Range of Useful Lives, in Years Land and improvements 10 to 30 Buildings and improvements 3 to 30 Automotive equipment 5 to 30 Machinery and equipment 1 to 30 Other 3 to 10 Property, plant and equipment, net consisted of the following: December 31, (in thousands) 2021 2020 Machinery and equipment $ 1,410,203 $ 1,388,735 Buildings and improvements 17,598 17,598 Automotive equipment 16,433 16,608 Land and improvements 14,199 14,132 Construction in progress 14,167 12,098 Other 2,221 1,721 1,474,821 1,450,892 Less: Accumulated depreciation (624,359) (553,045) Total property, plant and equipment, net $ 850,462 $ 897,847 Leasehold improvements and assets held under finance leases are depreciated or amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of the contractual lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. Such expenses are reported in Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) in the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Partnership had not identified the existence of an impairment indicator for our long-lived asset groups as outlined under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . |
Leases | Leases At inception, the Partnership determines whether an arrangement is a lease and the appropriate lease classification. Operating leases are included as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets within Other long-term assets and lease liabilities within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included as ROU finance leases within Property, plant, and equipment, net, and finance lease liabilities within Other current liabilities and Long-term debt, net of current portion on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are considered short-term and are not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Partnership recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. ROU assets represent the Partnership’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term using an incremental borrowing rate with a maturity similar to the lease term, as our leases do not generally provide an implicit rate. The lease term is modified to reflect options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain we will exercise such option. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill Long-lived assets (excluding goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite lives, and deferred tax assets) are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds their fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. |
Goodwill | Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Intangible assets are assets that lack physical substance (excluding financial assets). Goodwill acquired in a business combination and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, while intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized. Goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. The Partnership uses November 1 of each year as its annual valuation date for its goodwill impairment test. One of the Partnership’s reporting units, the Coffeyville Facility, had a goodwill balance of $41.0 million at December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, following completion of the spring planting season, the market pricing for ammonia and UAN, which are the facility’s two primary products, experienced significant pricing declines driven by updated market expectations around supply and demand fundamentals which were expected to continue into the second half of 2020. Additionally, significant uncertainty remained as to the nature and extent of impacts to be seen on the overall demand for corn and soybean given reduced ethanol production and broader economic conditions which may negatively impacted demand. Therefore, in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2020, given the pricing declines experienced in the second quarter of 2020, further muting of the Partnership’s near-term economic recovery assumptions, and market price performance of the Partnership’s common units, the Partnership concluded an impairment indicator was present and a triggering event under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other , had occurred as of June 30, 2020. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies are goodwill include, but are not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, discount rates, inflationary factors, and cost of capital. Based on the interim quantitative analysis, it was determined that the estimated fair value of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit did not exceed its carrying value. As a result, the Partnership recorded a full non-cash impairment charge of $41.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. As there was no goodwill remaining as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, no annual impairment review was performed. The Partnership performed the annual impairment review of goodwill for 2019 associated with the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit and concluded there were no impairments. For the period ended December 31, 2019, no events or circumstances were identified which would trigger the performance of a quantitative analysis after reviewing all qualitative factors impacting the reporting unit including improved market conditions, financial results, and financial forecasts from those used in the fair value analysis for December 31, 2018, which resulted in the fair value of the Coffeyville Facility reporting unit exceeding its carrying value by approximately 36%. |
Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, CVR Partners may become party to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, and governmental investigations, including environmental, regulatory, and other matters. The outcome of these matters cannot always be predicted accurately, but the Partnership accrues liabilities for these matters if the Partnership has determined that it is probable a loss has been incurred and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accrued amounts are reflected in Other current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities depending on when the Company expects to expend such amounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no matters or contingencies that require recognition or disclosure. |
Environmental, Health & Safety ("EHS") Matters | Environmental, Health & Safety (“EHS”) MattersThe Partnership is subject to various stringent federal, state, and local environmental, health, and safety rules and regulations. Liabilities related to future remediation costs of past environmental contamination of properties are recognized when the related costs are considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, internal and third-party assessments of contamination, available remediation technology, site-specific costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting environmental liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries. Loss contingency accruals, including those for environmental remediation, are subject to revision as further information develops or circumstances change and such accruals can take into account the legal liability of other parties. Management periodically reviews and, as appropriate, revises its environmental accruals. Environmental expenditures for capital assets are capitalized at the time of the expenditure when such costs provide future economic benefits. Accrued amounts are reflected in Other current liabilities or Other long-term liabilities depending on when the Company expects to expend such amounts. |
Revenue Recognition and Cost Classifications | Revenue Recognition The Partnership recognizes revenue based on consideration specified in contracts or agreements with customers when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control over products or services to a customer. The adoption of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , resulted in the recognition of deferred revenue and related receivables, on a gross basis, associated with contracts that guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer products in quantities expected to be delivered in the normal course of business. Other accounting policies relevant to revenue include: • Revenue transactions that pass control at customers’ designated facilities; • Non-monetary product exchanges which are entered into in the normal course of business are included on a net cost basis in operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and • Pass-through finished goods delivery costs reimbursed by customers are reported in net sales, while an offsetting expense is included in cost of materials and other. Other considerations - Excise and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from reported revenues. Cost Classifications |
Share-Based Compensation | Share-Based Compensation The Partnership accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes CVR Partners accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Allocation of Costs | Allocation of Costs CVR Energy and its subsidiaries provide a variety of services to the Partnership, including employee benefits provided through CVR Energy’s benefit plans, administrative services provided by CVR Energy’s employees and management, insurance, and office space leased by CVR Energy. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include costs that have been incurred by CVR Energy on behalf of the Partnership. These amounts incurred by CVR Energy are then billed or allocated to the Partnership and are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as either Direct operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) or as Selling, general and administrative expenses. See Note 9 (“Related Party Transactions”) for a detailed discussion of the billing procedures and the basis for calculating the charges for specific products and services. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Income Taxes Standard In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and modifies other areas of the topic to clarify the application of GAAP. Certain amendments within the standard are required to be applied on a retrospective basis and others on a prospective basis. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adoption of Codification Improvements Standard In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The ASU amends various sections of the codification in the FASB’s ongoing efforts to simplify and improve guidance. Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted this ASU with no material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Recent Accounting Pronouncements - New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Implemented In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU was issued because, by the end of 2022, banks will no longer be required to report information that is used to determine London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which is used globally by all types of entities. As a result, LIBOR could be discontinued, as well as other interest rates used globally. ASU 2020-04 provides companies with optional expedients for contract modifications under Topics 310, 470, 842, and 815-15, excluded components of certain hedging relationships, fair value hedges, and cash flow hedges, as well as certain exceptions, which are intended to help ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from these reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. Companies can apply the ASU immediately. However, the guidance will only be available for a limited time (generally through December 31, 2022). The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
