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 Sale of Point Tupper Terminal. On April 29, 2022, we sold the equity interests in our wholly owned subsidiaries that own our Point Tupper terminal facility to EverWind Fuels for $60.0 million, plus working capital, which is subject to adjustment. The terminal facility has a storage capacity of 7.8 million barrels and has been included in the storage segment. We recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of $46.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 and expect to utilize the sales proceeds to reduce debt and thereby improve our debt metrics. Please refer to Note 3 for more information. Debt Amendments. On January 28, 2022, we amended and restated our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement to extend the maturity to April 27, 2025, replace the LIBOR-based interest rate and modify other terms. Also on January 28, 2022, we amended our $100.0 million receivables financing agreement to extend the scheduled termination date to January 31, 2025, replace the LIBOR-based interest rate and modify other terms. Please refer to Note 5 for more information. Other Event 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. We received insurance proceeds of $5.8 million and $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded a gain from business interruption insurance of $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which is included in “Operating expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Insurance proceeds for cleanup costs and business interruption are included in “Cash flows from operating activities” in the consolidated statements 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. 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, 2021. We have reclassified certain previously reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to current-period presentation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

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. Amendments may be applied using either a modified retrospective approach or a fully retrospective approach. We adopted the amended guidance on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach. While the amended guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or disclosures at adoption, changes to the earnings per unit guidance could result in changes to our diluted net income (loss) per common unit. Please refer to Note 10 for additional information. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance intended to provide relief to companies impacted by reference rate reform. The amended guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The publication of U.S. dollar LIBOR rates for the most common tenors is expected to cease after publication on June 30, 2023, and, pursuant to the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act signed into law in the U.S. on March 15, 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has been directed to select a benchmark replacement rate to automatically replace LIBOR in LIBOR-based contracts that lack adequate fallback provisions upon cessation. As of March 31, 2022, $402.5 million of our variable-rate debt uses LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the interest rate. In addition, the distribution rate on our 8.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units is a floating rate based on LIBOR, and the distribution rates on our 7.625% Series B and 9.00% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units convert from fixed rates to floating rates based on LIBOR in June 2022 and December 2022, respectively. The FASB’s guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We adopted the guidance on a prospective basis. The guidance did not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures at transition, but we will continue to evaluate its impact on contracts modified on or before December 31, 2022.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
DISPOSITION AND IMPAIRMENT	DISPOSITION AND IMPAIRMENT Sale of Point Tupper Terminal. On February 11, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell the equity interests in our wholly owned subsidiaries that own our Point Tupper terminal facility in Nova Scotia, Canada (the Point Tupper Terminal Operations) to EverWind Fuels for $60.0 million, plus working capital, which is subject to adjustment. The terminal facility has a storage capacity of 7.8 million barrels and has been included in the storage segment. We completed the sale on April 29, 2022 and expect to utilize the sales proceeds to reduce debt and thereby improve our debt metrics as part of our strategic plan to strengthen our balance sheet. We compared the carrying value of the Point Tupper Terminal Operations, which includes $42.2 million in cumulative foreign currency translation losses accumulated since our acquisition of the Point Tupper terminal facility in 2005, to its fair value less costs to sell, and we recognized a pre-tax impairment loss of $46.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, which is presented in "Impairment loss" on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. We believe that the sales price of $60.0 million provides a reasonable indication of the fair value of the Point Tupper Terminal Operations as it represents an exit price in an orderly transaction between market participants. The sales price is a quoted price for identical assets and liabilities in a market that is not active and, thus, our fair value estimate falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. During the first quarter of 2022, we determined the Point Tupper Terminal Operations met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheet reflects the assets and liabilities of the Point Tupper Terminal Operations as held for sale as of March 31, 2022. The following table provides the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities included in “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet: March 31, 2022 (Thousands of Dollars) Cash $ 2,429 Accounts receivable 1,138 Inventories 399 Prepaid and other current assets 1,792 Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment loss 65,716 Other long-term assets, net 14,984 Assets held for sale $ 86,458 Accounts payable $ 2,636 Deferred income tax liability 7,638 Accrued liabilities 4,355 Other long-term liabilities 9,640 Impairment reserve (cumulative translation losses) 42,227 Liabilities held for sale $ 66,496

DEBT

DEBT	3 Months Ended

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
DEBT	DEBT Revolving Credit Agreement On January 28, 2022, NuStar Logistics amended and restated its $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement) to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date from October 27, 2023 to April 27, 2025; (ii) increase the maximum amount of letters of credit capable of being issued from $400.0 million to $500.0 million; (iii) replace LIBOR benchmark provisions with customary secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, benchmark provisions; (iv) remove the 0.50x increase permitted in our consolidated debt coverage ratio for certain rolling periods in which an acquisition for aggregate net consideration of at least $50.0 million occurs; and (v) add baskets and exceptions to certain negative covenants. As of March 31, 2022, we had $106.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $888.7 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement totaled $4.8 million as of March 31, 2022 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 SOFR-based rate. The Revolving Credit Agreement and certain fees under the Receivables Financing Agreement, defined below, are the only debt arrangements with interest rates that are subject to adjustment if our debt rating is downgraded (or upgraded) by certain credit rating agencies. As of March 31, 2022, our weighted-average interest rate related to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement was 3.0%. 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 to an amount that is less than the total amount available for borrowing. For a rolling period of four quarters, the consolidated debt coverage ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) cannot 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 March 31, 2022, we believe that we are in compliance with the covenants in the Revolving Credit Agreement. 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, with a scheduled termination date of January 31, 2025, (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. Under the Securitization Program, certain of NuStar Energy’s wholly owned subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable to NuStar Finance on an ongoing basis, and NuStar Finance provides the newly acquired accounts receivable as collateral for its revolving borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement. 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. On January 28, 2022, the Receivables Financing Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) extend the scheduled termination date from September 20, 2023 to January 31, 2025; (ii) reduce the floor rate in the calculation of our borrowing rates; and (iii) replace provisions related to the LIBOR rate of interest with references to SOFR rates of interest. Borrowings under the Receivables Financing Agreement bear interest, at NuStar Finance’s option, at a base rate or a SOFR rate, each as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement. As of March 31, 2022, the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Receivables Financing Agreement totaled $72.0 million, the weighted-average interest rate related to outstanding borrowings was 1.9% and $132.2 million of our accounts receivable was included in the Securitization Program. Fair Value of Long-Term Debt The estimated fair values and carrying amounts of long-term debt, excluding finance leases, were as follows: March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (Thousands of Dollars) Fair value $ 3,222,517 $ 3,459,153 Carrying amount $ 3,115,915 $ 3,130,625 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, CONTINGENCIES AND UNCERTAINTIES 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 $0.9 million and $0.1 million for contingent losses as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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. COVID-19. 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 2022 and beyond.

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 included forward-starting interest rate swap agreements that qualified as cash flow hedges prior to their termination. We reclassify the mark-to-market adjustments related to these cash flows hedges that were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (AOCI) into “Interest expense, net” as the underlying forecasted interest payments occur or if the interest payments are probable not to occur. We reclassified losses on cash flow hedges to “Interest expense, net” of $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, we expect to reclassify a loss of $2.1 million to “Interest expense, net” within the next twelve months associated with unwound forward-starting interest rate swaps.

The number of Series D Preferred Units issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 totaled 23,246,650. The distribution rates on the Series D Preferred Units are as follows: (i) 9.75%, or $57.6 million, per annum ($0.619 per unit per distribution period) for the first two years (beginning with the September 17, 2018 distribution); (ii) 10.75%, or $63.4 million, per annum ($0.682 per unit per distribution period) for years three through five; and (iii) the greater of 13.75%, or $81.1 million, per annum ($0.872 per unit per distribution period) or the distribution per common unit thereafter. While the Series D Preferred Units are outstanding, the Partnership will be prohibited from paying distributions on any junior securities, including the common units, unless full cumulative distributions on the Series D Preferred Units (and any parity securities) have been, or contemporaneously are being, paid or set aside for payment through the most recent Series D Preferred Unit distribution payment date. Any Series D Preferred Unit distributions in excess of $0.635 per unit may be paid, in the Partnership’s sole discretion, in additional Series D Preferred Units, with the remainder paid in cash. In April 2022, our board of directors declared distributions of $0.682 per Series D Preferred Unit to be paid on June 15, 2022.

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 the Series D Preferred Units and contingently issuable performance unit awards. The Series D Preferred Units contain certain unitholder conversion and redemption features, and we use the if-converted method to calculate the dilutive effect of the conversion or redemption feature that is most advantageous to our Series D preferred unitholders. The effect of the assumed conversion or redemption of the Series D Preferred Units outstanding was antidilutive for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021; therefore, we did not include such conversion in the computation of diluted net (loss) income per common unit. Contingently issuable performance units are included as dilutive potential common units if it is probable that performance measures will be achieved, unless to do so would be antidilutive. The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common unit: Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 (Thousands of Dollars, Except Unit and Per Unit Data) Net income $ 12,312 $ 42,257 Distributions to preferred limited partners (31,092) (31,887) Distributions to common limited partners (44,165) (43,834) Distribution equivalent rights to restricted units (633) (598) Distributions in excess of income $ (63,578) $ (34,062) Distributions to common limited partners $ 44,165 $ 43,834 Allocation of distributions in excess of income (63,578) (34,062) Series D Preferred Unit accretion (4,581) (4,021) Net (loss) income attributable to common units $ (23,994) $ 5,751 Basic and diluted weighted-average common units outstanding 110,177,045 109,506,222 Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common unit $ (0.22) $ 0.05
