Qatar Petrochemical (QP) and Chevron Phillips(CP) Chemical have signed an
agreement to jointly develop the project. The complex is expected to comprise a
1,900-kiloton-per-annum (KTA) ethane cracker and two high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) units with a combined capacity of 1,680 KTA. QP will own a 70% majority
share in the joint venture and CP Chem will hold the remaining 30% stake.
Chevron Phillips will also provide project management and oversight, and it
will be responsible for operation and management of the facility.
The plant’s location
will give it access to significant quantities of ethane produced by US shale
basins, including the prolific Permian Basin. The facility will raise Qatar’s
polyethylene production capacity by 82%. It will support an estimated 9,000
jobs during construction period, and once operational the facility is expected
to provide 600 full-time jobs.
