	General

	Kinder Morgan Management, LLC, is a publicly traded Delaware LLC, formed on February 14, 2001. KMGP, of which KMI indirectly owns all of the outstanding common equity, is the general partner of KMP and owns all of our voting shares. KMGP, pursuant to a delegation of control agreement among us, KMGP and KMP, has delegated to us, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and KMP’s limited partnership agreement, all of its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to the general partner’s right to approve specified actions. We are a limited partner in KMP through our ownership of its i-units, and manage and control its business and affairs pursuant to the delegation of control agreement. Our success is dependent upon our operation and management of KMP and its resulting performance, see Note 5 for summarized income statement and balance sheet information for KMP.

	KMP’s acquisition of Copano Energy, L.L.C.

	On May 1, 2013, KMP completed the acquisition of Copano, for a total purchase price of approximately $5.2 billion,
	including the assumption of debt and all other liabilities. It was a 100% unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of
	0.4563 KMP common units for each Copano common unit. Copano, a midstream natural gas company with operations primarily in Texas, Oklahoma and Wyoming, provides comprehensive services to natural gas producers, including natural gas gathering, processing, treating and NGL fractionation.

	KMI’s Acquisition of El Paso Corporation and related transactions

	Effective on May 25, 2012, KMI completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of EP. As a result, KMI owns a 41% limited partner interest and the 2% general partner interest in EPB as well as certain natural gas pipeline assets. The combined enterprise, including the associated master limited partnerships, KMP and EPB, owns an interest in or operates more than 80,000 miles of pipeline and 180 terminals and represents the third largest energy company in North America with a combined enterprise value of approximately $110 billion.

	Effective November 1, 2012, KMI sold KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group to Tallgrass Energy Partners, L.P. for approximately $1.8 billion (before selling costs) to satisfy terms of a March 15, 2012 agreement with the U.S. FTC to divest certain of its assets in order to receive regulatory approval for its EP acquisition. KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group’s assets included (i) Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission natural gas pipeline system; (ii) Trailblazer natural gas pipeline system; (iii) Casper and Douglas natural gas processing operations; and (iv) 50% equity investment in the Rockies Express natural gas pipeline system.
	Effective August 1, 2012, KMP acquired from KMI a 100% ownership interest in TGP and a 50% ownership interest in EPNG for an aggregate consideration of approximately $6.2 billion (including KMP's proportional share of assumed debt borrowings as of August 1, 2012). In this report, we refer to this acquisition of assets by KMP from KMI as the August 2012 drop-down transaction and the combined group of assets acquired by KMP from KMI effective August 1, 2012 as the August 2012 drop-down asset group. KMI sold the drop-down asset group to KMP in order to replace KMP’s FTC Natural Gas Pipelines disposal group that it divested on November 1, 2012. See Note 5.
	Effective March 1, 2013, KMP acquired from KMI the remaining 50% ownership interest it did not already own in both
	EPNG and the El Paso midstream assets or Kinder Morgan Altamont LLC (formerly, El Paso Midstream Investment Company,
	L.L.C.), which we refer to in this report as the midstream assets, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $1.7 billion
	(including KMP’s proportional share of assumed debt borrowings as of March 1, 2013). In this report, we refer to this
	acquisition of assets by KMP from KMI as the March 2013 drop-down transaction; the combined group of assets acquired by
	KMP from KMI as the March 2013 drop-down asset group; and the combined August 2012 drop-down asset group (described
	above) and the March 2013 drop-down asset group as the drop-down asset groups. KMP acquired its initial 50% ownership
	interest in the midstream assets from an investment vehicle affiliated with Kohlberg, Kravis Roberts and Co. L.P.
	effective June 1, 2012.

	KMI acquired all of the assets included in the drop-down asset groups as part of its May 25, 2012 acquisition of EP. KMI accounted for its acquisition of the drop-down asset groups under the acquisition method of accounting, and KMP accounted for the drop-down transactions as combinations of entities under common control. Accordingly, the KMP information in Note 5 has been prepared to reflect the transfer of TGP, EPNG and the remaining 50% of ownership interests in the midstream assets from KMI to KMP as if such transfers had taken place on the date when TGP, EPNG and the midstream assets met the accounting requirements for entities under common control-May 25, 2012 for both TGP and EPNG, and June 1, 2012 for the midstream assets. Specifically, KMP (i) consolidates its now 100% investments in the drop-down asset groups as of the effective dates of common control, recognizing the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at KMI’s carrying value (including all of KMI’s purchase accounting adjustments); (ii) recognized any difference between its purchase price and the carrying value of the net assets it acquired as an adjustment to its Partners’ Capital (specifically, as an adjustment to its general partner’s and its noncontrolling interests’ capital interests); and (iii) retrospectively adjusted its consolidated financial statements, for any date after the effective dates of common control.

	Additionally, because KMI both controls KMP and consolidates KMP’s financial statements into its consolidated financial
	statements as a result of its ownership of KMP’s general partner, KMP fully allocated to its general partner (i) the earnings of
	the drop-down asset groups for the periods beginning on the effective dates of common control (described above) and ending
	August 1, 2012 for the August 2012 drop-down asset group and March 1, 2013 for the March 2013 drop-down asset group,
	respectively, and (ii) incremental severance expense related to KMI’s acquisition of EP and allocated to KMP from KMI. These amounts are reported in “General Partner’s interest in pre-acquisition income from operations and severance expense of drop-down asset groups” in Note 5. The severance expense allocated to KMP was associated with the drop-down asset groups; however, KMP does not have any obligation to, nor did KMP, pay any amounts related to this expense.

	For all periods beginning after KMP’s acquisition dates of August 1, 2012 and March 1, 2013, respectively, KMP allocated
	its earnings (including the earnings from the drop-down asset groups) to all of its partners according to its partnership
	agreement.

	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	Basis of Presentation

	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kinder Morgan Management, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kinder Morgan Services LLC. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

	Notwithstanding the consolidation of KMP and its subsidiaries into KMI’s financial statements, except as explicitly disclosed, KMI is not liable for, and their assets are not available to satisfy, the obligations of KMP and/or its subsidiaries and vice versa. Responsibility for settlements of obligations reflected in KMI’s or KMP’s financial statements are a legal determination based on the entity that incurs the liability.

	Cash Equivalents

	We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

	Accounting for Investment in KMP

	We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP, which investment is further described in Notes 4 and 5. KMP is a publicly traded limited partnership and its common units are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “KMP.” We record, in the period in which it is earned, our share of the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. We also record our proportionate share of KMP’s accumulated other comprehensive income as an adjustment to our investment in KMP. We receive distributions from KMP in the form of additional i-units, which increase the number of i-units we own. We issue additional shares (or fractions thereof) to our existing shareholders in an amount equal to the additional i-units received from KMP. At December 31, 2013, through our ownership of KMP i-units, we owned approximately 28.3% of all of KMP’s outstanding limited partner interests.

	In addition, we perform impairment testing of the amount at which we carry the excess of cost over underlying fair value of net assets accounted for under the equity method when events or circumstances warrant such testing. The impairment test considers whether there is an inability to recover the carrying value of an investment that is other than temporary. As of December 31, 2013, we believed no such impairment had occurred on our investment in KMP.

	Accounting for Share Distributions

	Our board of directors declares and we make additional share distributions at the same time that KMP declares and makes distributions on the i-units to us, so that the number of i-units we own and the number of our shares outstanding remain equal. We account for the share distributions we make by charging retained earnings and crediting outstanding shares with amounts that equal the number of shares distributed multiplied by the closing price of the shares on the date the distribution is payable. As a result, we expect that our retained earnings will always be in a deficit position because (i) distributions per unit for KMP (which serve to reduce our retained earnings) are based on “Available Cash” as defined by its partnership agreement, which amount generally exceeds the equity earnings (which serve to increase our retained earnings) and (ii) the impact on our retained earnings attributable to our equity in the earnings of KMP is recorded after a provision for income taxes.

	Income Taxes

	We are a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Our entire income tax provision consists of deferred income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of our assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Our deferred tax balance was a liability of $73 million as of December 31, 2013 and an asset of $10 million as of December 31, 2012, as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, see Note 3. Under our current basis of accounting, we have excluded nondeductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. Changes in tax legislation are included in the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective. Currently, our only such temporary difference results from our investment in KMP.

	For more information on income taxes, see Note 6.

	Earnings Per Share

	Both basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for share splits. There are no securities outstanding that may be converted into or exercised for shares.

Capitalization

Capitalization	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Capitalization [Abstract]	'
Members' Equity Notes Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	Capitalization

	Our authorized capital structure consists of two classes of interests: (1) our listed shares and (2) our voting shares, collectively referred to in this document as our “shares.” Prior to the May 2001 initial public offering of our shares, our issued capitalization consisted of $100,000 contributed by Kinder Morgan, G.P., Inc. for two voting shares. At December 31, 2013, KMI owned approximately 16 million, or approximately 12.7% of our outstanding shares.

	In the third quarter of 2012, we issued 10,120,000 of our shares in a public offering at a price of approximately $73.50 per share, less commissions and underwriting expenses. We used the net proceeds received of $727 million from the issuance of these 10,120,000 shares to buy additional i-units from KMP. KMP used the proceeds to pay a portion of the purchase price for the drop-down transaction. None of the shares from our offering were purchased by KMI.

	On May 4, 2012, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit
	Suisse”). Pursuant to the provisions of the equity distribution agreement, we may sell from time to time through Credit Suisse, as our sales agent, our shares having an aggregate offering amount of up to $500 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we issued 2,640,196 of our shares pursuant to our equity distribution agreement with Credit Suisse. We received net proceeds of $210 million from the issuance of these shares and we used the proceeds to purchase additional KMP i-units.

	Sales of shares pursuant to our equity distribution agreement are made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the
	NYSE at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed between us and Credit Suisse. Under the terms of this agreement, we also may sell shares to Credit Suisse as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of the sale. Any sale of shares to Credit Suisse as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement between us and Credit Suisse.

	Our equity distribution agreement provides us the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares in the future, at prices we
	deem appropriate. We retain at all times complete control over the amount and the timing of each sale, and we will designate the maximum number of shares to be sold through Credit Suisse, on a daily basis or otherwise as we and Credit Suisse agree. Credit Suisse will then use its reasonable efforts to sell, as our sales agent and on our behalf, all of the designated shares. We may instruct Credit Suisse not to sell shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. Either we or Credit Suisse may suspend the offering of shares pursuant to the agreement by notifying the other party.

	As discussed above in Note 1, KMI completed the August 2012 drop-down transaction with KMP during the third quarter of 2012, the March 2013 drop-down transaction with KMP during the first quarter of 2013 and during the second quarter of 2013, KMP acquired Copano. The August 2012 and March 2013 drop-down transactions were treated as common control transfers of assets between KMI (an affiliate and shareholder of us) and KMP. The second quarter of 2013 KMP acquisition of Copano in a unit for unit transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.4563 KMP common units for each Copano common unit resulted in KMP recording approximately $1.1 billion of nondeductible goodwill. Our and KMI’s accounting policy is to apply the look-through method of recording deferred taxes on the outside book tax basis difference in its investments without regard to nondeductible goodwill. The adjustments to our deferred tax liability as a result of (i) the 2013 and 2012 common control transactions (including the associated transfer of nondeductible goodwill to KMP); and (ii) the increase in KMP’s nondeductible goodwill related to the 2013 Copano acquisition are reflected as offsets to our shareholders equity. As a result of these transactions, we have recorded decreases of $91 million and $235 million to our deferred tax liability and an offsetting increase to our shareholders’ equity in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Subsequent Event

	Shares issued subsequent to December 31, 2013 were comprised of 76,100 of our shares, which were issued in early January 2014, for the settlement of sales made on or before December 31, 2013 pursuant to our equity distribution agreement with Credit Suisse. We received net proceeds $6 million from the issuance of these additional shares and we used the proceeds to purchase additional KMP i-units.

	Share Distributions

	Under the terms of our LLC agreement, except in connection with our liquidation, we do not pay cash distributions on our shares in cash but instead make distributions on our shares in additional shares or fractions of shares. At the same time KMP makes a distribution on its common units and i-units, we distribute on each of our shares that fraction of a share determined by dividing the amount of the cash distribution to be made by KMP on each common unit by the average closing market price of a share determined for the ten-trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for our shares. The following table presents share distributions we have paid or declared in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

	Business Activities and Related Party Transactions

	At no time after our formation and prior to our initial public offering did we have any operations or own any interest in KMP. Upon the closing of our initial public offering in May 2001, we became a limited partner in KMP and, pursuant to a delegation of control agreement, we assumed the management and control of its business and affairs. KMP will either pay directly or reimburse us for all expenses we incur in performing under the delegation of control agreement and will be obligated to indemnify us against claims and liabilities provided that we have acted in good faith and in a manner we believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of KMP and the indemnity is not prohibited by law. KMP consented to the terms of the delegation of control agreement including KMP’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations. We do not receive a fee for our service under the delegation of control agreement, nor do we receive any margin or profit on the expense reimbursement. We incurred, on behalf of KMP, approximately $327 million, $299 million and $278 million of expenses during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The expense reimbursements by KMP to us are accounted for as a reduction to the expense incurred by us. The net monthly balance payable or receivable from these activities is settled in cash in the following month. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, $10 million and $12 million, respectively, primarily receivables from KMP, are recorded in the caption “Accounts receivable - affiliated party” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

	Kinder Morgan Services LLC is our wholly owned subsidiary and provides centralized payroll and employee benefits services to us, KMGP, KMP, and KMP’s operating partnerships and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”). Employees of
	KMGP Services Company, Inc., a subsidiary of KMGP, are assigned to work for one or more members of the Group. When they do so, they remain under our ultimate management and control. The direct costs of all compensation, benefits expenses, employer taxes and other employer expenses for these employees are allocated and charged by Kinder Morgan Services LLC to the appropriate members of the Group, and the members of the Group reimburse Kinder Morgan Services LLC for their allocated shares of these direct costs. There is no profit or margin charged by Kinder Morgan Services LLC to the members of the Group. The administrative support necessary to implement these payroll and benefits services is provided by the human resource department of KMI, and the related administrative costs are allocated to members of the Group in accordance with expense allocation procedures. The effect of these arrangements is that each member of the Group bears the direct compensation and employee benefits costs of its assigned or partially assigned employees, as the case may be, while also bearing its allocable share of administrative costs. Pursuant to its limited partnership agreement, KMP reimburses Kinder Morgan Services LLC for its share of these administrative costs, and such reimbursements are accounted for as described above. Additionally, KMP reimburses us with respect to costs incurred or allocated to us in accordance with KMP’s limited partnership agreement, the delegation of control agreement among KMGP, KMP, us and others, and our limited liability company agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, these expenses totaled approximately $438 million, $401 million and $389 million, respectively.

	We are a party to a tax indemnification agreement with KMI. Pursuant to this tax indemnification agreement, KMI agreed to indemnify us for any tax liability attributable to our formation or our management and control of the business and affairs of KMP and for any taxes arising out of a transaction involving the i-units we own to the extent the transaction does not generate sufficient cash to pay our taxes with respect to such transaction.

	We had no unrecognized tax benefits on the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and 2012. In the event interest or penalties are incurred with respect to income tax matters, our policy will be to include such items in income tax expense. We did not have an accrual for interest and penalties at December 31, 2013 or 2012. At December 31, 2013, tax years 2009 through 2013 remained subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service or applicable states. We do not expect any material change in the balance of our unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

	Mission Valley Terminal Lawsuit

	In August 2007, the City of San Diego, on its own behalf and purporting to act on behalf of the People of the State of California, filed a lawsuit against KMR and several affiliates seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages allegedly resulting from hydrocarbon and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) impacted soils and groundwater beneath the City’s stadium property in San Diego arising from historic operations at the Mission Valley terminal facility. The case was filed in the Superior Court of California, San Diego County, case number 37-2007-00073033-CU-OR-CTL. On September 26, 2007, we removed the case to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California, case number 07CV1883WCAB. The City disclosed in discovery that it is seeking approximately $170 million in damages for alleged lost value/lost profit from the redevelopment of the City’s property and alleged lost use of the water resources underlying the property. Later, in 2010, the City amended its initial disclosures to add claims for restoration of the site as well as a number of other claims that increased their claim for damages to approximately $365 million.

	On November 29, 2012, the Court issued a Notice of Tentative Rulings on the parties’ summary adjudication motions. The Court tentatively granted our partial motions for summary judgment on the City’s claims for water and real estate damages and the State’s claims for violations of California Business and Professions Code § 17200, tentatively denied the City’s motion for summary judgment on its claims of liability for nuisance and trespass, and tentatively granted our cross motion for summary judgment on such claims. On January 25, 2013, the Court issued its final order reaffirming in all respects its tentative rulings and rendered judgment in favor of all defendants on all claims asserted by the City.

	On February 20, 2013, the City of San Diego filed a notice of appeal of this case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appeal is currently pending.

	This site has been, and currently is, under the regulatory oversight and order of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. SFPP continues to conduct an extensive remediation effort at the City’s stadium property site.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Basis of Presentation

	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kinder Morgan Management, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kinder Morgan Services LLC. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Cash Equivalents

	We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounting for investment in KMP, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounting for Investment in KMP

	We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP, which investment is further described in Notes 4 and 5. KMP is a publicly traded limited partnership and its common units are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “KMP.” We record, in the period in which it is earned, our share of the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. We also record our proportionate share of KMP’s accumulated other comprehensive income as an adjustment to our investment in KMP. We receive distributions from KMP in the form of additional i-units, which increase the number of i-units we own. We issue additional shares (or fractions thereof) to our existing shareholders in an amount equal to the additional i-units received from KMP. At December 31, 2013, through our ownership of KMP i-units, we owned approximately 28.3% of all of KMP’s outstanding limited partner interests.

	In addition, we perform impairment testing of the amount at which we carry the excess of cost over underlying fair value of net assets accounted for under the equity method when events or circumstances warrant such testing. The impairment test considers whether there is an inability to recover the carrying value of an investment that is other than temporary. As of December 31, 2013, we believed no such impairment had occurred on our investment in KMP.
Accounting for Share Distributions Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Accounting for Share Distributions

	Our board of directors declares and we make additional share distributions at the same time that KMP declares and makes distributions on the i-units to us, so that the number of i-units we own and the number of our shares outstanding remain equal. We account for the share distributions we make by charging retained earnings and crediting outstanding shares with amounts that equal the number of shares distributed multiplied by the closing price of the shares on the date the distribution is payable. As a result, we expect that our retained earnings will always be in a deficit position because (i) distributions per unit for KMP (which serve to reduce our retained earnings) are based on “Available Cash” as defined by its partnership agreement, which amount generally exceeds the equity earnings (which serve to increase our retained earnings) and (ii) the impact on our retained earnings attributable to our equity in the earnings of KMP is recorded after a provision for income taxes.
Income Taxes, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes

	We are a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Our entire income tax provision consists of deferred income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of our assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. Our deferred tax balance was a liability of $73 million as of December 31, 2013 and an asset of $10 million as of December 31, 2012, as presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, see Note 3. Under our current basis of accounting, we have excluded nondeductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. Changes in tax legislation are included in the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective. Currently, our only such temporary difference results from our investment in KMP.

	For more information on income taxes, see Note 6.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Earnings Per Share

	Both basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for share splits. There are no securities outstanding that may be converted into or exercised for shares.
