	Description of Business
	OCI Partners LP (the “Partnership,” “OCIP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware limited liability partnership formed on February 7, 2013 to own and operate an integrated methanol and anhydrous ammonia production facility that is strategically located on the U.S. Gulf Coast near Beaumont, Texas. The facility commenced full operations during August 2012. In addition, OCIP has pipeline connections to adjacent customers and port access with dedicated methanol and ammonia import/export jetties, allowing it to ship both products along the Gulf Coast.
	We are currently one of the largest merchant methanol producers in the United States with an annual methanol production design capacity of approximately 912,500 metric tons and an annual ammonia production design capacity of approximately 331,000 metric tons. We executed a debottlenecking project on our production facility that included a maintenance turnaround and environmental upgrades, which we collectively refer to as our “debottlenecking project.” This project increased our annual methanol production design capacity by 25% to approximately 912,500 metric tons and our annual ammonia production design capacity by 25% to approximately 331,000 metric tons. Beginning in January 2015, we shut down our methanol production unit for 82 days and our ammonia production unit for 71 days in order to complete the debottlenecking project. We began start-up of the ammonia production facility on April 9, 2015 and reached daily ammonia production design capacity of 907 metric tons on May 5, 2015. We began start-up of the methanol production facility on April 22, 2015 and we anticipate reaching daily methanol production design capacity of 2,500 metric tons during May 2015.
	On October 9, 2013, the Partnership closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 17,500,000 common units on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “OCIP.” In connection with the closing of the IPO, OCI USA Inc. (“OCI USA”) contributed all of its equity interests in OCI Beaumont LLC (“OCIB”) to the Partnership. Prior to the completion of the IPO, OCIB was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI USA, a Delaware corporation, which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI Fertilizer International B.V. (“OCI Fertilizer”), a Dutch private limited liability company. OCI Fertilizer is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI N.V. (“OCI”), a Dutch public limited liability company, which is the ultimate parent for a group of related entities. OCIB is a Texas limited liability company formed on December 10, 2010 as the acquisition vehicle to purchase the manufacturing facility and related assets offered for sale by Eastman Chemical Company on May 5, 2011 for $26,500. OCI, through its subsidiaries, is a global producer of natural gas-based fertilizers and chemicals. OCI is listed on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and trades under the symbol “OCI.”
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in compliance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, neither of which requires all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial position as of March 31, 2015, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any other reporting period.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accuracy of estimates is based on accuracy of information used. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, and other contingencies.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Note 2 — Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	Effective January 1, 2015, we early adopted the recently issued Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments to this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This update is applied retrospectively and effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Accordingly, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been retrospectively adjusted to include the effect of the presentation adjustments as required under ASU 2015-03. The retrospective adjustment resulted in a decrease in Other non-current assets and Term loan facility by $10,023 as of December 31, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any impact on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
	On May 28, 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one-year deferral of the effective date but to permit entities to adopt the standard on the original effective date if they choose. If the deferral is approved, the standard will be effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. The Partnership is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Partnership has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

Debt	Note 5 — Debt
	(a) Debt – Related Party
	On August 20, 2013, OCIB entered into a $40,000 intercompany revolving facility agreement with OCI Fertilizer (the “Intercompany Revolving Facility”), with a maturity date of January 20, 2020. The amount that can be drawn under the Intercompany Revolving Facility is limited by the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to $40,000 minus the amount of indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Intercompany Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the rate per annum applicable to the Term B-3 Loans discussed in note 5(b), plus (ii) 0.25%. OCIB pays a commitment fee to OCI Fertilizer under the Intercompany Revolving Facility on the undrawn available portion at a rate of 0.5% per annum, which is included as a component of interest expense – related party on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Intercompany Revolving Facility is subordinated to indebtedness under the Term Loan B Credit Facility (as defined below) and the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2015, OCIB has not drawn under the Intercompany Revolving Facility.
	On September 15, 2013, three separate intercompany loan agreements between OCIB and OCI Fertilizer were replaced with a new intercompany term facility agreement with OCI Fertilizer (the “Intercompany Term Facility”), with a borrowing capacity of $200,000 and a maturity date of January 20, 2020. On November 27, 2013, OCIB utilized the funds borrowed under the Incremental Term Loan (see note 5(b)) to repay amounts owing under the Intercompany Term Facility and entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Intercompany Term Facility (the “Intercompany Term Amendment”). Under the terms of the Intercompany Term Amendment, the borrowing capacity under the Intercompany Term Facility was reduced to $100,000. Borrowings under the Intercompany Term Facility are subordinated to the Term B-3 Loans (as defined below) under the Term Loan B Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Intercompany Term Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the rate per annum applicable to the Term B-3 Loans discussed in note 5(b) plus (ii) 0.25%. As of March 31, 2015, OCIB has not drawn under the Intercompany Term Facility.

	Term Loan B Credit Facility and Amendments Thereto
	On August 20, 2013, OCIB and OCI USA entered into a $360,000 senior secured term loan facility agreement (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Term Loan B Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders, comprised of two tranches of term debt in the amounts of $125,000 (the “Term B-1 Loan”) and $235,000 (the “Term B-2 Loan” and together with the Term B-1 Loan, the “Term B Loans”), respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan B Credit Facility, upon the completion of the IPO, the Partnership utilized proceeds of approximately $126,085 received from the IPO to repay in full outstanding borrowings under the Term B-1 Loan of approximately $125,000 and $1,085 of accrued interest, leaving only the Term B-2 Loan outstanding. The Partnership subsequently became a party to the Term Loan B Credit Facility through a credit agreement joinder, dated as of October 18, 2013.
	On November 27, 2013, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan B Credit Facility (the “Term Loan Amendment No. 1”) with Bank of America, as administrative agent, collateral agent and incremental term loan lender, and the other lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the terms of Term Loan Amendment No. 1, OCIB borrowed an incremental $165,000 term B-2 loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) under the Term Loan B Credit Facility (collectively with the existing Term B-2 Loan, the “Term B-2 Loans”). OCIB utilized the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan to repay amounts owing under the Intercompany Term Facility (see note 5(a)). Term Loan Amendment No. 1 also adjusted the amortization schedule for the Term B-2 Loans to encompass the new tranche composed of the Incremental Term Loan. In addition, Term Loan Amendment No. 1 clarified that the maximum principal amount of Incremental Term Loans that may be incurred under the Term Loan B Credit Facility (as amended by Term Loan Amendment No. 1) is the sum of (and not the greater of) (a) $100.0 million and (b) such other amount such that, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to any such incremental facility and other applicable pro forma adjustments, the first lien net leverage ratio is equal to or less than 1.25 to 1.00.
	On April 4, 2014, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 2 and Waiver (“Term Loan Amendment No. 2”) to the Term Loan B Credit Facility, with Bank of America, as administrative agent, collateral agent and additional term loan lender, and the other lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the terms of Term Loan Amendment No. 2, OCIB refinanced the Term B-2 Loans through the cashless repayment of the Term B-2 Loans and the simultaneous incurrence of a new tranche of loans (the “Term B-3 Loans”). The Term B-3 Loans have terms and provisions identical to the Term B-2 Loans, except as specifically modified by Term Loan Amendment No. 2. Term Loan Amendment No. 2 (i) reduced the interest rate margin on the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan B Credit Facility such that OCIB may select an interest rate of (a) 4.00% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for LIBO Rate Term Loans (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) or (b) 3.00% above the Base Rate for Base Rate Loans (as each such term is defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility), (ii) decreased the minimum LIBO Rate (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) from 1.25% to 1.00%, (iii) reset the prepayment premium of 1.00% on voluntary prepayments of the Term B-3 Loans for twelve months after the closing of Term Loan Amendment No. 2, and (iv) provided for delivery of financial information from the Partnership instead of OCIB, with reconciliation information to the financial information for OCIB.
	On June 13, 2014, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Term Loan Amendment No. 3”) to the Term Loan B Credit Facility with Bank of America, as administrative agent. Term Loan Amendment No. 3 (i) corrected an inconsistency in the definition of “Hedging Agreement”, (ii) amended Section 10.01(ii) by adding that the liens permitted by such section cannot be for debt that is overdue, (iii) revised the intercompany subordination agreement entered into in connection with the Term Loan B Credit Facility to clarify that intercompany debt will be subordinate to the obligations owed to counterparties under hedge agreements that are secured pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan B Credit Facility and (iv) made certain technical changes to certain defined terms.
	On March 12, 2015, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Term Loan Amendment No. 4”) to the Term Loan B Credit Facility with Bank of America, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto to (i) increase the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 2.25 for the quarter ending March 31, 2015, (ii) increase the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 2.50 for the quarters ending June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, (iii) increase the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 2.25 for the quarter ending December 31, 2015, (iv) increase the interest rate margin on the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan B Facility such that OCIB may select an interest rate of (a) 4.50% above LIBOR for LIBO Rate Term Loans (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) or (b) 3.25% above the Base Rate for Base Rate Term Loans (as each such term is defined in the Term B Credit Loan Facility), (v) applied a prepayment premium (A) with respect to any voluntary prepayment of Term B-3 Loans (including in connection with the incurrence of refinancing indebtedness), of 3% of the principal amount of the Term B-3 Loans so prepaid on or prior to the first anniversary of the Term Loan Amendment No. 4 effective date, stepping down to 2% after the first anniversary thereof but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof, and to par thereafter and (B) with respect to any amendment to the Term Loan B Credit Facility resulting in a Repricing Transaction (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility), of 3% of the principal amount of the Term B-3 Loans so repriced on or prior to the first anniversary of the Term Loan Amendment No. 4 effective date, stepping down to 2% after the first anniversary thereof but on or prior to the second anniversary thereof and to 1% after the second anniversary thereof but on or prior to the third anniversary thereof and to par thereafter and (vi) make certain technical changes to certain defined terms.
	The Term B-3 Loans mature on August 20, 2019 and are subject to certain mandatory prepayment obligations upon the disposition of certain assets and the incurrence of certain indebtedness. The Term B-3 Loans are also subject to mandatory quarterly repayments equal to 0.25% of all Term B-3 Loans outstanding on the Term Loan Amendment No. 2 effective date.
	Scheduled maturities with respect to the Term Loan B Credit Facility are as follows:
	Fiscal Year
	2015			2,985
	2016			3,980
	2017			3,980
	2018			3,980
	Thereafter			379,095
	Total		$	394,020
	The Term B-3 Loans, as well as related fees and expenses, are unconditionally guaranteed by OCI USA, the Partnership and certain of its future subsidiaries other than OCIB. The Term B-3 Loans, and related fees and expenses, are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of OCIB’s and the Partnership's assets (OCI USA does not provide any security with its guarantee; upon completion of the IPO, all security provided by OCI USA was released, and the Partnership entered into an all-assets pledge, including its ownership interest in OCIB).
	The Term Loan B Credit Facility contains customary covenants and conditions, including limitations on our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities. These restrictions and covenants will limit our ability, among other things, to:
	·	incur additional indebtedness;
	·	create liens on assets;
	·	engage in mergers or consolidations;
	·	sell assets;
	·	pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our common units;
	·	make investments, loans or advances;
	·	prepay certain subordinated indebtedness;

The consolidated interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDA for the last four quarters to (ii) consolidated interest expense for the last four quarters.

	Revolving Credit Facility and Amendments Thereto
	On April 4, 2014, OCIB as borrower, the Partnership as a guarantor, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders entered into a new revolving credit facility agreement (as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with an initial aggregate borrowing capacity of up to $40,000 (less any amounts borrowed under the Intercompany Revolving Facility (as defined in note 5(a)), including a $20,000 sublimit for letters of credit. All proceeds from this facility will be used by OCIB for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

OCIB also pays a commitment fee of 1.10% per annum on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility has a one-year term that may be extended for additional one-year periods subject to the consent of the lenders.
	OCIB’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Partnership and certain of its future subsidiaries other than OCIB. OCIB’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien (which is pari passu with the first priority lien securing obligations under the Term Loan B Credit Facility) on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of OCIB and the Partnership.
	In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants and provisions that affect OCIB and the Partnership, including, among others, customary covenants and provisions:

·	prohibiting consolidations, mergers and asset transfers by OCIB and the Partnership (subject to customary exceptions).
Under the Revolving Credit Facility, OCIB is also subject to certain financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis. OCIB may not permit, on the last day of any fiscal quarter (i) the consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio to exceed (a) in the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2015, 2.25 to 1.00, (b) in the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, 2.50 to 1.00, (c) in the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2015, 2.25 to 1.00 and (d) each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, 1.75 to 1.00 and (ii) the consolidated interest coverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than 5.00 to 1.00. The consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) (A) consolidated senior secured debt less (B) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents included on the consolidated balance sheet to (ii) consolidated EBITDA for the last four quarters. The consolidated interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDA for the last four quarters to (ii) consolidated interest expense for the last four quarters. For the period ending March 31, 2015, we applied the Consolidated EBITDA Material Project Adjustments (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) to our calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) in computing the aforementioned ratios. As of March 31, 2015, OCIB’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio was 1.96 to 1.00, and its consolidated interest coverage ratio was 12.25 to 1.00. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the Revolving Credit Facility OCIB’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility may be accelerated.

OCIB recorded the debt discount, the arranger fees and legal and structuring fees as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Upon the completion of our IPO, the Partnership repaid in full all amounts outstanding under the Term B-1 Loan, and wrote off the debt discount and debt issue costs that were deferred relating the Term B-1 Loan, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt in the year ended December 31, 2013 of $4,498.

OCIB recorded the debt discount, the arranger fees and the legal and structuring fees as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. OCIB recorded the reduction of the amount owing under the Intercompany Term Facility as a contribution of partners’ capital.
The Term Loan Amendment No. 2 included a 1.0% soft-call fee of $3,980, a 0.25% arranger fee of $995, as well as $25 of other fees and expenses.

Revolving Credit Facility and Amendments Thereto
The Revolving Credit Facility included $539 of debt issuance costs related to closing fees, legal and other professional fees directly associated with entering into the Revolving Credit Facility. OCIB recorded the closing fee, legal fee and other professional fees in other long-term assets as a deferred financing cost and amortized them using the straight-line method. All debt issuance costs related to the Revolving Credit Facility were fully amortized as of March 31, 2015.

	On November 27, 2013, the Partnership entered into a new intercompany equity commitment agreement with OCI USA (the “Intercompany Equity Commitment”). Under the terms of the Intercompany Equity Commitment, OCI USA shall make an equity contribution not to exceed $100,000 to the Partnership if (a) prior to the completion of the debottlenecking project, the Partnership or OCIB have liquidity needs for working capital or other needs and the restrictions under the Term Loan B Credit Facility or any other debt instrument prohibit the Partnership or OCIB from incurring sufficient additional debt to fund such liquidity needs; or (b) OCIB fails to comply with any of the financial covenants as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.

Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings	Note 10 — Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
	In the ordinary course of business, we are, and will continue to be, involved in various claims and legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We may not be able to predict the timing or outcome of these or future claims and proceedings with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Currently, we are not party to any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
	On October 30, 2014, we received notice of a lawsuit filed by the employee of a delivery contractor, currently pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Beaumont Division, at Cause No. 1:15-cv-0002. Plaintiff alleges injuries from his delivery of acid to the OCIB’s Beaumont plant. He claims that OCIB was negligent in failing to properly inspect and maintain the premises, and to provide a safe place to work. Discovery has commenced. We have a claim for contractual defense and indemnity from a contractor, and the matter is covered under a general liability insurance policy (subject to a deductible and a reservation of rights). We do not expect the cost of any settlement or eventual judgment, if any, to be material to our operations or financial position.
	The Partnership’s facilities could be subject to potential environmental liabilities primarily relating to contamination caused by current and/or former operations at those facilities. Some environmental laws could impose on the Partnership the entire costs of cleanup regardless of fault, legality of the original disposal or ownership of the disposal site. In some cases, the governmental entity with jurisdiction could seek an assessment for damage to the natural resources caused by contamination from those sites. The Partnership had no significant operating expenditures for environmental fines, penalties or government-imposed remedial or corrective actions during the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.

The common units were issued pursuant to a contribution agreement, dated April 17, 2015, by and among the Partnership, OCIP Holding and OCI USA, at a price per common unit equal to $17.132 (the volume-weighted average trading price of a common unit on the NYSE, calculated over the consecutive 21-day trading period ending on the close of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the issue date). Immediately following the issuance of common units to OCIP Holding on April 17, 2015, OCIP Holding held 69,497,590 common units in the Partnership, representing a 79.88% limited partner interest.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in compliance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, neither of which requires all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, and accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2015. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial position as of March 31, 2015, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or any other reporting period.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accuracy of estimates is based on accuracy of information used. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, the valuation of property, plant, and equipment, and other contingencies.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	Effective January 1, 2015, we early adopted the recently issued Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments to this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This update is applied retrospectively and effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Accordingly, the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been retrospectively adjusted to include the effect of the presentation adjustments as required under ASU 2015-03. The retrospective adjustment resulted in a decrease in Other non-current assets and Term loan facility by $10,023 as of December 31, 2014. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any impact on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
	On May 28, 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and permits the use of either retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one-year deferral of the effective date but to permit entities to adopt the standard on the original effective date if they choose. If the deferral is approved, the standard will be effective for interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. The Partnership is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Partnership has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
