据烃加工网3月8日报道，卡塔尔能源公司和雪佛龙菲利普斯化学公司(CPChem)为美国得克萨斯州奥兰治县的金三角聚合物工厂（Golden Triangle Polymers Plant）举行了破土动工仪式，标志着这个耗资85亿美元的世界级石化设施建设的开始。

奥兰治社区是这一战略伙伴关系的直接受益者。卡塔尔投资85亿美元建设这个世界级的设施，这是卡塔尔能源在美国的第二大投资，仅次于投资110亿美元的Golden Pass液化天然气生产和出口设施，该设施目前正在建设中，距离得克萨斯州Sabine Pass约35英里。到目前为止，该设施也将是奥兰治社区几十年来最重要的经济投资，创造就业机会，支持经济增长。

位于休斯敦以东约180公里处的该工厂，将包括一个乙烯裂解装置，产能为208万吨/年，是世界上最大的乙烯裂解装置；以及两个高密度聚乙烯装置，总产能为200万吨/年，也是世界上同类产品中最大的衍生装置。该工厂预计将于2026年启动，由金三角聚合物有限责任公司（Golden Triangle Polymers Company LLC）拥有，该公司是一家合资企业，卡塔尔能源持有49%的股权，CPChem持有51%的股权。

QatarEnergy and CPChem begin construction of $8.5-B petrochemical facility

QatarEnergy and Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem) marked the groundbreaking of the Golden Triangle Polymers Plant in Orange County, in Texas, U.S., marking the beginning of construction of the $8.5-B world-scale petrochemical facility.

The Orange community is a direct beneficiary of this strategic partnership. We are investing $8.5 B to build this world-scale facility, which is QatarEnergy’s second largest investment in the U.S. after the more than $11-B investment in the Golden Pass LNG production and export facility, which is currently under construction about 35 miles from here in Sabine Pass, Texas. This plant will also be, by far, the most significant economic investment in the Orange community in decades, creating jobs and supporting economic growth.

Located about 180 kilometers east of Houston, the plant will include an ethylene cracker unit with a capacity of 2.08 MMtpy, making it the largest in the world, and two high-density polyethylene units with a combined capacity of 2 MMtpy, also making them the largest derivatives units of their kind in the world. The plant is expected to startup in 2026 and will be owned by Golden Triangle Polymers Company LLC, a joint venture in which QatarEnergy holds a 49% equity interest with 51% held by CPChem.
