Organization And Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation	'
	1. Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	Organization
	We are a growth oriented master limited partnership focused on the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast region of the United States, primarily Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Wyoming and in the Gulf of Mexico. We have a diverse portfolio of customers, operations and assets, including pipelines, refinery-related plants, storage tanks and terminals, railcars, rail loading and unloading facilities, barges and trucks. We were formed in 1996 and 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 manage our businesses through the following three divisions that constitute our reportable segments:
	•	Pipeline transportation of interstate, intrastate and offshore crude oil, and, to a lesser extent, carbon dioxide (or "CO2");
	•	Refinery services involving 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"); and
	•	Supply and logistics services, which include terminaling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil and petroleum products and, on a smaller scale, CO2.
	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include Genesis Energy, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner.
	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 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 (“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, 2013.
	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.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	'
	2. Recent Accounting Developments
	Recently Issued
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued revised guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard provides a five-step analysis for transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on our financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

	Acquisition
	Offshore Marine Transportation Business
	In August 2013, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the downstream transportation business of Hornbeck Offshore Services, Inc. for $230.9 million, which we refer to as our offshore marine transportation business and assets. The total acquisition cost has been allocated to fixed assets based on fair values. Such fair values were developed by management. The acquired business was primarily comprised of nine barges and nine tug boats which transport crude oil and refined petroleum products, principally serving refineries and storage terminals along the Gulf Coast, Eastern Seaboard, Great Lakes and Caribbean. That acquisition complements and further integrates our existing operations, including our Genesis Marine inland barge business (comprised of 62 barges and 22 push/tow boats), our crude oil and heavy refined products storage and blending terminals as well as our crude oil pipeline systems. That acquisition was funded with proceeds from our $1 billion revolving credit facility. We have reflected the financial results of the acquired business in our supply and logistics segment from the date of the acquisition.
	The following table presents selected unaudited financial information of our offshore marine transportation business included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the periods presented:
		Three Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Revenues	$	8,651	$	8,651
	Net income	$	2,520	$	2,520
	The table below presents selected unaudited pro forma financial information incorporating the historical results of our offshore marine transportation business. The pro forma financial information below has been prepared as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2012 and is based upon assumptions deemed appropriate by us and may not be indicative of actual results. Depreciation expense for the fixed assets acquired is calculated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 25 years.

	Revenues	$	1,101,676	$	3,216,680
	Net income	$	24,294	$	81,780
	Divestiture
	On December 31, 2013, we completed the sale of our vehicle fuel procurement and delivery logistics management services business. That business, previously reported in our supply and logistics revenues and costs and expenses, was reclassified as discontinued operations in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The summarized operating results of our discontinued operations are as follows:
		Three Months Ended September 30, 2013		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
	Revenues	$	169,526	$	446,894

	Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The market value of inventories was below recorded costs by approximately $1.8 million at September 30, 2014; therefore we reduced the value of inventory in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for this difference. At December 31, 2013, market values of our inventories exceeded recorded costs.

	6. Equity Investees
	We account for our ownership in our joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. The price we pay to acquire an ownership interest in a company may exceed the underlying book value of the capital accounts we acquire. Such excess cost amounts are included within the carrying values of our equity investees. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the unamortized excess cost amounts totaled $218.0 million and $225.7 million, respectively. We amortize the excess cost as a reduction in equity earnings in a manner similar to depreciation.
	The following table presents information included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements related to our equity investees.

Additionally, the accordion feature was increased from $300 million to $500 million, giving us the ability to expand the size of the facility up to $1.5 billion for acquisitions or growth projects, subject to lender consent.
	The key terms for rates under our credit facility, which are dependent on our leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement), are as follows:
	•The applicable margin varies from 1.50% to 2.50% on Eurodollar borrowings and from 0.50% to 1.50% on alternate base rate borrowings.
	•Letter of credit fees range from 1.50% to 2.50%
	•The commitment fee on the unused committed amount will range from 0.250% to 0.375%.
	At September 30, 2014, we had $335.0 million borrowed under our $1 billion credit facility, with $71.8 million of the borrowed amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit. The credit agreement allows up to $100 million of the capacity to be used for letters of credit, of which $13.2 million was outstanding at September 30, 2014. Due to the revolving nature of loans under our credit facility, additional borrowings and periodic repayments and re-borrowings may be made until the maturity date. The total amount available for borrowings under our credit facility at September 30, 2014 was $651.8 million.
	Senior Unsecured Notes
	In November 2010, we issued $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2018 (the "2018 Notes"). The 2018 Notes were sold at face value. Interest payments are due on June 15 and December 15 of each year. In February 2012, we issued an additional $100 million of aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes. The additional 2018 Notes were issued at 101% of face value at an effective interest rate of 7.682%. The additional 2018 Notes have the same terms and conditions as the notes previously issued under their indenture. The issuance increased the total aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes under their indenture to $350 million.
	On February 8, 2013, we issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes (the "2021 Notes"). The 2021 Notes were sold at face value. Interest payments are due on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 2021 Notes mature on February 15, 2021. The net proceeds were used to repay borrowings under our credit facility and for general partnership purposes.
	On May 15, 2014, we issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior unsecured notes (the "2024 Notes"). The 2024 Notes were sold at face value. Interest payments are due on June 15 and December 15 of each year with the initial interest payment due December 15, 2014. The 2024 Notes mature on June 15, 2024.
	The 2018, 2021 and 2024 Notes were co-issued by Genesis Energy Finance Corporation (which has no independent assets or operations) and are each fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have the right to redeem the 2018 Notes at any time after December 15, 2014, at a premium to the face amount of the notes that varies based on the time remaining to maturity of the 2018 Notes. We have the right to redeem the 2021 Notes at any time after February 15, 2017, at a premium to the face amount of the 2021 Notes that varies based on the time remaining to maturity on the 2021 Notes. Prior to February 15, 2016, we may also redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes for 105.75% of the face amount with the proceeds from an equity offering of our common units. We have the right to redeem the 2024 Notes at any time after June 15, 2019, at a premium to the face amount of the 2024 Notes that varies based on the time remaining to maturity on the 2024 Notes. Prior to June 15, 2017, we may also redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes for 105.625% of the face amount with the proceeds from an equity offering of our common units.

	9. Partners’ Capital and Distributions
	On September 26, 2014, we issued 4,600,000 Class A common units in a public offering at a price of $50.71 per unit. We received proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering costs, of approximately $225.6 million from that offering. We used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including the repayment of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2014, our outstanding common units consisted of 93,250,988 Class A units and 39,997 Class B units.
	Waiver Units
	Our waiver units are non-voting securities entitled to a minimal preferential quarterly distribution. At issuance, our waiver units were comprised of four classes (designated Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4) of 1,738,000 units each. The waiver units in each class were/are convertible into Class A common units at a 1:1 conversion rate in the calendar quarter during which each of our common units receives a specified minimum quarterly distribution and our distribution coverage ratio (after giving effect to the then convertible waiver units) would be at least 1.1 times. The minimum distribution per common unit required for conversion is $0.52 for our Class 4 waiver units.
	Our Class 1 and Class 2 waiver units converted into common units in 2012, and our Class 3 waiver units were converted into common units in 2013.
	Our Class 4 waiver units will become convertible into Class A common units on November 14, 2014, as we will satisfy the distribution conversion coverage ratio requirement and will pay a minimum distribution of $0.52 per common unit.
	Distributions
	We paid or will pay the following distributions in 2013 and 2014:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Business Segment Information	'
	10. Business Segment Information
	Our operations consist of three operating segments:
	•	Pipeline Transportation – interstate, intrastate and offshore crude oil, and to a lesser extent, CO2;
	•	Refinery Services – processing high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams as part of refining operations to remove the sulfur and selling the related by-product, NaHS; and
	•	Supply and Logistics – terminaling, blending, storing, marketing and transporting crude oil and petroleum products (primarily fuel oil, asphalt, and other heavy refined products) and, on a smaller scale, CO2.
	Substantially all of our revenues are derived from, and substantially all of our assets are located in, the United States.
	We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our equity investees. In addition, our Segment Margin definition excludes the non-cash effects of our legacy stock appreciation rights plan and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.
	Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes, where relevant, and capital investment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'

	13. Derivatives
	Commodity Derivatives
	We have exposure to commodity price changes related to our inventory and purchase commitments. We utilize derivative instruments (primarily futures and options contracts traded on the NYMEX) to hedge our exposure to commodity prices, primarily of crude oil, fuel oil and petroleum products. Our decision as to whether to designate derivative instruments as fair value hedges for accounting purposes relates to our expectations of the length of time we expect to have the commodity price exposure and our expectations as to whether the derivative contract will qualify as highly effective under accounting guidance in limiting our exposure to commodity price risk. Most of the petroleum products, including fuel oil that we supply, cannot be hedged with a high degree of effectiveness with derivative contracts available on the NYMEX; therefore, we do not designate derivative contracts utilized to limit our price risk related to these products as hedges for accounting purposes. Typically we utilize crude oil and other petroleum products futures and option contracts to limit our exposure to the effect of fluctuations in petroleum products prices on the future sale of our inventory or commitments to purchase petroleum products, and we recognize any changes in fair value of the derivative contracts as increases or decreases in our cost of sales. The recognition of changes in fair value of the derivative contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes can occur in reporting periods that do not coincide with the recognition of gain or loss on the actual transaction being hedged. Therefore we will, on occasion, report gains or losses in one period that will be partially offset by gains or losses in a future period when the hedged transaction is completed.
	At September 30, 2014, we had the following outstanding derivative commodity contracts that were entered into to economically hedge inventory or fixed price purchase commitments. We had no outstanding derivative contracts that were designated as hedges under accounting rules.
			Sell (Short)				Buy (Long)

	Diesel options:
	Contract volumes (1,000 bbls)		20				—
	Weighted average premium received		$	2.08			$	—
	Financial Statement Impacts
	Unrealized gains are subtracted from net income and unrealized losses are added to net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that we have fair value hedges outstanding, the offsetting change recorded in the fair value of inventory is also eliminated from net income in determining cash flows from operating activities. Changes in margin deposits necessary to fund unrealized losses also affect cash flows from operating activities.
	The following tables reflect the estimated fair value gain (loss) position of our derivatives at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	(1) These derivative liabilities have been funded with margin deposits recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under Current Assets - Other.
	Our accounting policy is to offset derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty when a master netting arrangement exists.  Accordingly, we also offset derivative assets and liabilities with amounts associated with cash margin.  Our exchange-traded derivatives are transacted through brokerage accounts and are subject to margin requirements as established by the respective exchange.  On a daily basis, our account equity (consisting of the sum of our cash balance and the fair value of our open derivatives) is compared to our initial margin requirement resulting in the payment or return of variation margin.  As of September 30, 2014, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $3.7 million (consisting of initial margin of $1.9 million increased by $1.8 million of variation margin).  As of December 31, 2013, we had a net broker receivable of approximately $5.3 million (consisting of initial margin of $4.1 million increased by $1.2 million of variation margin).  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, none of our outstanding derivatives contained credit-risk related contingent features that would result in a material adverse impact to us upon any change in our credit ratings.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair-Value Measurements	'
	14. Fair-Value Measurements
	We classify financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value:
	-1	Level 1 fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
	-2	Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and
	-3	Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.
	As required by fair value accounting guidance, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
	The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
			Fair Value at							Fair Value at
			September 30, 2014							December 31, 2013
	Recurring Fair Value Measures		Level 1			Level 2		Level 3		Level 1			Level 2		Level 3
	Commodity derivatives:
	Assets		$	2,922		$	—	$	—	$	615		$	—	$	—
	Liabilities		$	(1,155	)	$	—	$	—	$	(4,527	)	$	—	$	—
	Our commodity derivatives include exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options contracts. The fair value of these exchange-traded derivative contracts is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and is, therefore, included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
	See Note 13 for additional information on our derivative instruments.
	Other Fair Value Measurements
	We believe the debt outstanding under our credit facility approximates fair value as the stated rate of interest approximates current market rates for similar instruments with comparable maturities. At September 30, 2014, our senior unsecured notes had a carrying value of $1.1 billion and a fair value of $1.1 billion, compared to $0.7 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes is determined based on trade information in the financial markets of our public debt and is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
