Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Organization Unless indicated otherwise, the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and similar language refer to Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. together with its subsidiaries. We are a Delaware limited partnership and our limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “MMP.” Magellan GP, LLC, a wholly-owned Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner. Description of Business We are principally engaged in the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products and crude oil. As of March 31, 2017 , our asset portfolio, including the assets of our joint ventures, consisted of: • our refined products segment, comprised of our 9,700 -mile refined products pipeline system with 53 terminals as well as 26 independent terminals not connected to our pipeline system and our 1,100 -mile ammonia pipeline system; • our crude oil segment, comprised of approximately 2,200 miles of crude oil pipelines and storage facilities with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 26 million barrels, of which approximately 17 million barrels are used for contract storage; and • our marine storage segment, consisting of five marine terminals located along coastal waterways with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 26 million barrels. Terminology common in our industry includes the following terms, which describe products that we transport, store and distribute through our pipelines and terminals: • refined products are the output from refineries and are primarily used as fuels by consumers. Refined products include gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene and heating oil. Collectively, diesel fuel and heating oil are referred to as distillates; • liquefied petroleum gases, or LPGs, are produced as by-products of the crude oil refining process and in connection with natural gas production. LPGs include butane and propane; • blendstocks are blended with refined products to change or enhance their characteristics such as increasing a gasoline’s octane or oxygen content. Blendstocks include alkylates, oxygenates and natural gasoline; • heavy oils and feedstocks are used as burner fuels or feedstocks for further processing by refineries and petrochemical facilities. Heavy oils and feedstocks include No. 6 fuel oil and vacuum gas oil; • crude oil and condensate are used as feedstocks by refineries and petrochemical facilities; • biofuels , such as ethanol and biodiesel, are increasingly required by government mandates; and • ammonia is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer. Except for ammonia, we use the term petroleum products to describe any, or a combination, of the above-noted products. Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 , which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2017 , the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 . The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017 for several reasons. Profits from our butane blending activities are realized largely during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our pipeline systems, generally trends higher during the summer driving months. Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and, to a lesser extent, the volume of petroleum products we transport on our pipelines. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These 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, 2016 . Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as their impact on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . This ASU requires companies that offer postretirement benefits to present the service cost, which is the amount an employer has to set aside each period to cover the benefits, in the same line item with other employee compensation costs. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization when applicable. Public companies must comply with the new requirements under ASU 2017-07 for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2017, and the amendments must be applied retrospectively except for the capitalization change, which should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is allowed, and we elected to adopt ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2017. Prior to adoption, we expensed all components of pension expense through salaries and wages, which impacted operating income. We are now recording only the service component of pension expense to salaries and wages, with the remainder of the expense being recorded to other income and expense below operating profit. Comparative prior periods have been restated for this change. The changes were not material to our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The new accounting model for lessors remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance. This update also requires companies to include additional disclosures regarding their lessee and lessor agreements. Public companies are required to adopt the standard for financial reporting periods that start after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . Prior to this update, reporting entities were required to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. Under this update, inventory is to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2017, and it did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows as we have historically measured our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as described above. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We will adopt this ASU as required on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

Product Sales Revenue [Abstract] | |
Product Sales Revenues | Product Sales Revenue The amounts reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income include revenue from the physical sale of petroleum products and mark-to-market adjustments from exchange-based futures contracts. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for a discussion of our commodity hedging strategies and how our futures contracts impact product sales revenue. All of the petroleum products inventory we physically sell associated with our butane blending and fractionation activities, as well as the barrels from product gains we obtain from our operations, including tender deductions, are reported as product sales revenue on our consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , product sales revenue included the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Physical sale of petroleum products $ 130,580 $ 216,940 Change in value of futures contracts 15,982 28,680 Total product sales revenue $ 146,562 $ 245,620 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Disclosures | Segment Disclosures Our reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Our segments are managed separately as each segment requires different marketing strategies and business knowledge. Management evaluates performance based on segment operating margin, which includes revenue from affiliates and external customers, operating expenses, cost of product sales and earnings of non-controlled entities. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by management. Operating margin, which is presented in the following tables, is an important measure used by management to evaluate the economic performance of our core operations. Operating margin is not a GAAP measure, but the components of operating margin are computed using amounts that are determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of operating margin to operating profit, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables below. Operating profit includes depreciation and amortization expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense that management does not consider when evaluating the core profitability of our separate operating segments.

Investments in Non-Controlled Entities | Investments in Non-Controlled Entities Our investments in non-controlled entities at March 31, 2017 were comprised of: Entity Ownership Interest BridgeTex Pipeline Company, LLC (“BridgeTex”) 50% Double Eagle Pipeline LLC (“Double Eagle”) 50% HoustonLink Pipeline Company, LLC (“HoustonLink”) 50% Powder Springs Logistics, LLC (“Powder Springs”) 50% Saddlehorn Pipeline Company, LLC (“Saddlehorn”) 40% Seabrook Logistics, LLC (“Seabrook”) 50% Texas Frontera, LLC (“Texas Frontera”) 50% In February 2016, we transferred a 50% membership interest in Osage Pipe Line Company, LLC (“Osage”) to an affiliate of HollyFrontier Corporation. In conjunction with this transaction, we entered into several commercial agreements with affiliates of HollyFrontier Corporation, which we recorded at that time as a $43.7 million intangible asset and an $8.3 million other receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. The intangible asset is being amortized over the 20 -year life of the contracts received. We recognized a $26.9 million non-cash gain in first quarter 2016 in relation to this transaction. In January 2017, we entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $50.0 million , of obligations under Powder Springs’ credit facility. At March 31, 2017 , we recognized a $0.8 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheet to reflect the fair value of this guarantee. The management fees we have recognized from BridgeTex, HoustonLink, Osage, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn, Seabrook and Texas Frontera are reported as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we receive reimbursement from certain of our joint ventures for costs incurred during construction and operations, which we have included as reductions to costs and expenses on our consolidated statements of income. These cost reimbursements totaled $0.5 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , respectively. We recognized pipeline capacity lease revenue from BridgeTex of $8.9 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , which we included in transportation and terminals revenue on our consolidated statements of income. We recognized throughput revenue from Double Eagle of $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , respectively, which we included in transportation and terminals revenue on our consolidated statements of income. At each December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 , we recognized $0.3 million of trade accounts receivable from Double Eagle. We recognized storage revenue of $0.5 million from Saddlehorn for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , which we included in transportation and terminals revenue on our consolidated statement of income. At March 31, 2017 , we recognized $0.1 million of other accounts receivable from each of Saddlehorn and Powder Springs, respectively, related to miscellaneous cost reimbursements. The financial results from Texas Frontera are included in our marine storage segment, the financial results from BridgeTex, Double Eagle, HoustonLink, Osage, Saddlehorn and Seabrook are included in our crude oil segment and the financial results from Powder Springs are included in our refined products segment, each as earnings/losses of non-controlled entities.

At March 31, 2017 , the total borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility with a maturity date of October 27, 2020 was $1.0 billion . Any borrowings outstanding under this facility are classified as long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.100% and 0.275% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.125% at March 31, 2017 . Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 , respectively, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility, with $6.3 million obligated for letters of credit. Amounts obligated for letters of credit are not reflected as debt on our consolidated balance sheets, but decrease our borrowing capacity under this facility. At March 31, 2017 , the total borrowing capacity under our 364 -day credit facility was $250.0 million . The maturity date of this credit facility is October 19, 2017. Any borrowings under this facility are classified as current debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Borrowings under this facility are unsecured and bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.000% to 1.625% based on our credit ratings. Additionally, an unused commitment fee is assessed at a rate between 0.080% and 0.225% depending on our credit ratings. The unused commitment fee was 0.100% at March 31, 2017 . Borrowings under this facility may be used for general partnership purposes, including capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 , respectively, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility. Commercial Paper Program. We have a commercial paper program under which we may issue commercial paper notes in an amount up to the available capacity under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. The maturities of the commercial paper notes vary, but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Because the commercial paper we can issue is limited to amounts available under our revolving credit facility, amounts outstanding under the program are classified as long-term debt. The commercial paper notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount from par, or alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The weighted-average interest rate for commercial paper borrowings based on the number of days outstanding was 0.7% and 1.1% , respectively, for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 . |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Derivatives We periodically enter into interest rate derivatives to hedge the fair value of debt or hedge against variability in interest rates, and we have historically designated these derivatives as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Adjustments resulting from discontinued hedges continue to be recognized in accordance with their historic hedging relationships. We have entered into $100.0 million of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of future interest payments on a portion of debt we anticipate issuing in 2018. The fair values of these contracts at March 31, 2017 were recorded on our balance sheets as other noncurrent assets of $15.4 million , with the offset recorded to other comprehensive income. We account for these agreements as cash flow hedges. Commodity Derivatives Hedging Strategies Our butane blending activities produce gasoline products, and we can reasonably estimate the timing and quantities of sales of these products. We use a combination of exchange-based commodities futures contracts and forward purchase and sale contracts to help manage commodity price changes and mitigate the risk of decline in the product margin realized from our butane blending activities. Further, certain of our other commercial operations generate petroleum products, and we also use futures contracts to hedge against price changes for some of these commodities. Forward physical purchase and sale contracts that qualify for and are elected as normal purchases and sales are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting. The futures contracts that we enter into fall into one of three hedge categories: Hedge Category Hedge Purpose Accounting Treatment Qualifies For Hedge Accounting Treatment Cash Flow Hedge To hedge the variability in cash flows related to a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income/loss and reclassified to earnings when the forecasted transaction occurs. Any ineffectiveness is recognized currently in earnings. Fair Value Hedge To hedge against changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedge is recorded as adjustments to the asset or liability being hedged. Any ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness are recognized currently in earnings. Does Not Qualify For Hedge Accounting Treatment Economic Hedge To effectively serve as either a fair value or a cash flow hedge; however, the derivative agreement does not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging . Changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , none of the commodity hedging contracts we entered into qualified for or were designated as cash flow hedges. We use futures contracts designated as economic hedges for accounting purposes to hedge against changes in the price of refined products and crude oil that we expect to sell in the future. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to product sales. We also use futures contracts designated as economic hedges for accounting purposes to hedge against changes in the price of butane we expect to purchase in the future. Period changes in the fair value of these agreements are recognized currently in earnings as adjustments to cost of product sales. Additionally, we hold certain crude oil tank bottoms which we classify as long-term assets and include with other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. We use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the fair value of these assets. We record the effective portion of the gains or losses for those contracts that qualify as fair value hedges as adjustments to the asset being hedged and the ineffective portions as well as amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness as adjustments to other (income) or expense. As outlined in the table below, our open futures contracts at March 31, 2017 were as follows: Type of Contract/Accounting Methodology Product Represented by the Contract and Associated Barrels Maturity Dates Futures - Fair Value Hedges 0.7 million barrels of crude oil November 2017 Futures - Economic Hedges 2.7 million barrels of refined products and crude oil Between April and October 2017 Futures - Economic Hedges 0.1 million barrels of butane April 2017 Energy Commodity Derivatives Contracts and Deposits Offsets At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 , respectively, we had made margin deposits of $49.9 million and $9.9 million for our future contracts with our counterparties, which were recorded as current assets under energy commodity derivatives deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. We have the right to offset the combined fair values of our open futures contracts against our margin deposits under a master netting arrangement for each counterparty; however, we have elected to present the combined fair values of our open futures contracts separately from the related margin deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, we have the right to offset the fair values of our futures contracts together for each counterparty, which we have elected to do, and we report the combined net balances on our consolidated balance sheets. A schedule of the derivative amounts we have offset and the deposit amounts we could offset under a master netting arrangement are provided below as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 (in thousands): December 31, 2016 Description Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities Gross Amounts of Assets Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amounts of Liabilities Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Margin Deposit Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Asset Amount (1) Energy commodity derivatives $ (36,798 ) $ 6,060 $ (30,738 ) $ 49,899 $ 19,161 March 31, 2017 Description Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets Gross Amounts of Liabilities Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amounts of Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Margin Deposit Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Asset Amount (1) Energy commodity derivatives $ 3,040 $ (2,513 ) $ 527 $ 9,921 $ 10,448 (1) Amount represents the maximum loss we would incur if all of our counterparties failed to perform on their derivative contracts.

We use futures contracts designated as fair value hedges under ASC 815-25, Derivatives and Hedging–Fair Value Hedges , to hedge against changes in the fair value of 0.7 million barrels of crude oil that are contractually reserved as tank bottoms and included with other noncurrent assets on our consolidated balance sheets. The effective portions of the fair value gains or losses on these futures contracts were offset by fair value gains or losses on the tank bottoms. There was no ineffectiveness recognized on these hedges. The cash flows from settled contracts were recorded in operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The gains (losses) on these futures contracts and the underlying tank bottoms were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Gain recognized in other income/expense on derivatives (futures contracts) 1.5 3.4 Loss recognized in other income/expense on hedged item (tank bottoms) (1.5 ) (3.4 ) The differential between the current spot price and forward price is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for these fair value hedges. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , we recognized a gain of $2.3 million and $1.4 million , respectively, for the amounts we excluded from the assessment of effectiveness of these fair value hedges, which we reported as other (income) expense on our consolidated statements of income.

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Liabilities Liabilities recognized for estimated environmental costs were $24.0 million and $24.6 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 , respectively. We have classified environmental liabilities as current or noncurrent based on management’s estimates regarding the timing of actual payments. Environmental expenses recognized as a result of changes in our environmental liabilities are generally included in operating expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Environmental expenses were $3.5 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 , respectively. Environmental Receivables Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $4.1 million at December 31, 2016 , of which $0.6 million and $3.5 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Receivables from insurance carriers and other third parties related to environmental matters were $4.0 million at March 31, 2017 , of which $0.5 million and $3.5 million were recorded to other accounts receivable and long-term receivables, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Other See Note 4 – Investments in Non-Controlled Entities for detail of our guarantee on behalf of Powder Springs. We are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. While the results cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Incentive Plan | Long-Term Incentive Plan We have a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) for certain of our employees and directors of our general partner. The LTIP primarily consists of phantom units and permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate payout of 11.9 million of our limited partner units. The compensation committee of our general partner’s board of directors administers our LTIP. The estimated units remaining available under the LTIP at March 31, 2017 total 2.9 million . Our equity-based incentive compensation expense was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2017 Performance-based awards: 2014 awards 3,409 28 2015 awards 1,545 1,158 2016 awards 1,120 1,049 2017 awards — 1,246 Time-based awards 576 666 Total $ 6,650 $ 4,147 Allocation of LTIP expense on our consolidated statements of income: G&A expense $ 6,608 $ 4,118 Operating expense 42 29 Total $ 6,650 $ 4,147 On February 2, 2017, 207,445 phantom unit awards were issued pursuant to our LTIP. These grants included both performance-based and time-based phantom unit awards and have a three -year vesting period that will end on December 31, 2019. On January 31, 2017, we issued 216,679 limited partner units to settle unit awards to certain employees that vested on December 31, 2016 and 23,961 limited partner units to settle the equity-based retainers paid to certain independent directors of our general partner and the final payment of deferred director compensation to a former director. Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit The difference between our actual limited partner units outstanding and our weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding used to calculate basic net income per unit is due to the impact of: (i) the phantom units issued to non-employee directors and (ii) the weighted average effect of units actually issued during a period. The difference between the weighted-average number of limited partner units outstanding used for basic and diluted net income per unit calculations on our consolidated statements of income is primarily the dilutive effect of phantom unit grants associated with our LTIP that have not yet vested. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Fair Value Fair Value Methods and Assumptions - Financial Assets and Liabilities. We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair value of our financial assets and liabilities: • Energy commodity derivatives contracts . These include exchange-traded futures contracts related to petroleum products. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts. • Interest rate contracts. These include forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of variability of interest payments on future debt. These contracts are carried at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on an assumed exchange, at the end of each period, in an orderly transaction with a market participant in the market in which the financial instrument is traded. The exchange value was calculated using present value techniques on estimated future cash flows based on forward interest rate curves. See Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments for further disclosures regarding these contracts. • Long-term receivables. These primarily include payments receivable under a direct-financing leasing arrangement and cost reimbursement payments receivable. These receivables were recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets, using then-current market rates to estimate the present value of future cash flows. • Debt. The fair value of our publicly traded notes was based on the prices of those notes at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 ; however, where recent observable market trades were not available, prices were determined using adjustments to the last traded value for that debt issuance or by adjustments to the prices of similar debt instruments of peer entities that are actively traded. The carrying amount of borrowings, if any, under our revolving credit facility and our commercial paper program approximates fair value due to the frequent repricing of these obligations. Fair Value Measurements - Financial Assets and Liabilities The following tables summarize the carrying amounts, fair values and fair value measurements recorded or disclosed as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 based on the three levels established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (in thousands): December 31, 2016 Assets (Liabilities) Fair Value Measurements using: Carrying Amount Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Energy commodity derivatives contracts $ (30,738 ) $ (30,738 ) $ (30,738 ) Interest rate contracts $ 14,114 $ 14,114 $ — $ 14,114 $ — Long-term receivables $ 23,870 $ 23,870 $ — $ — $ 23,870 Debt $ (4,087,192 ) $ (4,262,321 ) $ — $ (4,262,321 ) $ — March 31, 2017 Assets (Liabilities) Fair Value Measurements using: Carrying Amount Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Energy commodity derivatives contracts $ 527 $ 527 $ 527 $ — $ — Interest rate contracts $ 15,409 $ 15,409 $ — $ 15,409 $ — Long-term receivables $ 23,233 $ 23,233 $ — $ — $ 23,233 Debt $ (4,203,080 ) $ (4,391,501 ) $ — $ (4,391,501 ) $ — |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, our accompanying consolidated financial statements which are unaudited, except for the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 , which is derived from our audited financial statements, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2017 , the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 . The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017 for several reasons. Profits from our butane blending activities are realized largely during the first and fourth quarters of each year. Additionally, gasoline demand, which drives transportation volumes and revenues on our pipeline systems, generally trends higher during the summer driving months. Further, the volatility of commodity prices impacts the profits from our commodity activities and, to a lesser extent, the volume of petroleum products we transport on our pipelines. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the financial statements in this report do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These 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, 2016 . |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our consolidated financial statements, as well as their impact on the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

This ASU requires companies that offer postretirement benefits to present the service cost, which is the amount an employer has to set aside each period to cover the benefits, in the same line item with other employee compensation costs. Other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization when applicable. Public companies must comply with the new requirements under ASU 2017-07 for fiscal years that start after December 15, 2017, and the amendments must be applied retrospectively except for the capitalization change, which should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is allowed, and we elected to adopt ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2017. Prior to adoption, we expensed all components of pension expense through salaries and wages, which impacted operating income. We are now recording only the service component of pension expense to salaries and wages, with the remainder of the expense being recorded to other income and expense below operating profit. Comparative prior periods have been restated for this change. The changes were not material to our financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases. The new accounting model for lessors remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance. This update also requires companies to include additional disclosures regarding their lessee and lessor agreements. Public companies are required to adopt the standard for financial reporting periods that start after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory . Prior to this update, reporting entities were required to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. Under this update, inventory is to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2017, and it did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows as we have historically measured our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as described above. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We will adopt this ASU as required on January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method of adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

In conjunction with this transaction, we entered into several commercial agreements with affiliates of HollyFrontier Corporation, which we recorded at that time as a $43.7 million intangible asset and an $8.3 million other receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. The intangible asset is being amortized over the 20 -year life of the contracts received. We recognized a $26.9 million non-cash gain in first quarter 2016 in relation to this transaction. In January 2017, we entered into an agreement to guarantee our 50% pro rata share, up to $50.0 million , of obligations under Powder Springs’ credit facility. At March 31, 2017 , we recognized a $0.8 million other current liability and a corresponding increase in our investment in non-controlled entities on our consolidated balance sheet to reflect the fair value of this guarantee. The management fees we have recognized from BridgeTex, HoustonLink, Osage, Powder Springs, Saddlehorn, Seabrook and Texas Frontera are reported as affiliate management fee revenue on our consolidated statements of income. In addition, we receive reimbursement from certain of our joint ventures for costs incurred during construction and operations, which we have included as reductions to costs and expenses on our consolidated statements of income.
