GTP Gets Rolling with Onsite Rail System
Golden Triangle Polymers is taking a big step forward in its operational readiness with the construction and operation of an onsite rail. GTP will use this rail yard to safely
Nestled within Texas’s Golden Triangle, this project will bring good paying jobs and economic prosperity to the entire region. Once operational, the new facility will manufacture polyethylene, enabling customers around the world to create everyday products like pipe for water irrigation, packaging that keeps food fresh, and containers for personal care products.

Golden Triangle Polymers Company LLC is a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP (CPChem) and an indirect subsidiary of QatarEnergy. The new facility is under construction in Orange, Texas, near CPChem’s existing Orange Plant. The total installed cost of the project is expected to be $8.5 billion and includes an ethylene unit with a capacity of 2,080 KTA and two polyethylene units with a combined capacity of 2,000 KTA. Startup is expected in 2026.
We aim to be a good neighbor to the Orange community. This facility will contribute to the social and economic fabric of the entire Golden Triangle region, generating an estimated $50 billion for the community in residual economic impacts over 20 years and creating approximately 4,500 construction jobs and more than 500 full-time positions.

We are committed to building and operating a safe, reliable facility. Our goal is zero incidents and injuries during construction and operations. The new plant will be managed through CPChem’s existing Operational Excellence System, developed and refined over decades of experience.
We have designed this new facility to use innovative emissions reduction technology and processes, including additional equipment electrification and an advanced ethane refrigeration system. Additionally, the facility aims to recycle the high hydrogen fuel by-product to the ethylene furnaces to minimize purchased natural gas, reducing emissions from combustion. Golden Triangle Polymers targets production of high-density polyethylene while leveraging energy-saving, modern technology that is expected to allow for lower greenhouse gas emissions than at similar facilities.
We strive to work alongside diverse, sustainable and socially responsible suppliers. Businesses interested in being considered for work on the project should first apply to be pre-screened by CPChem.
