What Genesis Energy, L.P does

Operates offshore crude oil pipelines, soda ash (sodium minerals) mining and marine transportation as a diversified midstream energy partnership.

Pipeline fees are charged per barrel moved, often under long-term agreements with deepwater producers, giving stable cash. The soda ash business depends on glass and chemical demand and sells in the US and export markets, while marine transport charters its barges and ships to refiners.
