Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (or ASU 2019-12), as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in the accounting standards. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 eliminate certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences, among other changes. The Partnership adopted this update on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have an impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (or "LIBOR"). This ASU applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. This ASU is effective through December 31, 2022. The Partnership is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new guidance.
