Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC and QatarEnergy have partnered to construct an $8.5 billion integrated polymers facility in Texas that is expected to create more than 500 full-time jobs.

Chevron Phillips, which is jointly owned by Chevron Corp. and Phillips 66, and QatarEnergy have formed a joint venture company, Golden Triangle Polymers Company LLC, to carry out their plans for a new facility in Orange, Texas.

Construction of the new plant will begin immediately near Chevron Phillips' existing facility in Orange, with operations expected to begin in 2026.

Chevron will hold a 51% stake in the new venture while QatarEnergy, Qatar's state-owned petroleum company, will own the rest.

The companies said they have been collaborating for more than 20 years on assets they operate jointly in Qatar.
