Qatar, Chevron ink deal for $8bn petchem project in US

Qatar Petroleum has signed an agreement with Chevron Phillips Chemical Company to develop a new world-scale petrochemical project with an estimated cost of $8 billion in the Gulf Coast region of the US.

The signing took place at the White House, in the presence of Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, and the President of the US, Donald Trump. The agreement was signed by Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, and by Mark E Lashier, president & CEO of Chevron Phillips Chemical.

The US Gulf Coast II Petrochemical Project (USGC II) will include an ethylene cracker with a capacity of 2 million tons per annum making it the largest cracker in the world, and two high-density polyethylene units with a capacity of one million tons per annum each. The complex will be located in the US Gulf Coast region, where there is direct access to significant ethane quantities produced by US shale basins, including the prolific Permian Basin.

Pursuant to the agreement, Qatar Petroleum will own a 49 per cent share in the USGC II project, while Chevron Phillips Chemical will own the remaining 51 per cent share and provide project management and oversight and be responsible for the operation and management of the facility.

The award of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for the USGC II project is currently planned for 2021 with targeted startup of the new facility in 2024.

In June 2019, Qatar Petroleum announced a joint venture with Chevron Phillips Chemical to pursue a world-scale petrochemical plant in Qatar at the Ras Laffan Industrial City with a nameplate capacity of 1.9 million tons of ethylene per annum, making it the largest ethane cracker in the Middle East and one of the largest in the world.
