Business and Basis of Presentation	Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business OCI Partners LP (the “Partnership,” “OCIP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 7, 2013 whose focus is on the production, marketing and distribution of methanol and anhydrous ammonia. Our production facility is strategically located on the U.S. Gulf Coast near Beaumont, Texas and commenced full operations during August 2012. Our facility has pipeline connections to adjacent customers, port access with dedicated methanol and ammonia import/export jetties, allowing us to ship both products along the Gulf Coast, and truck loading facilities for both methanol and ammonia. We are currently one of the larger 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. During 2015, 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. Actual daily production capacity will vary depending on operating conditions and other various factors. OCI Beaumont LLC (“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 N.V. (“OCI”), a Dutch public limited liability company, which is the ultimate parent for a group of related entities, through its subsidiaries, is a global producer of natural gas-based fertilizers and chemicals. OCI is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("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, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , 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 and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to communicate changes to the codification. The Partnership considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. The following are those ASU’s that are relevant to the Partnership. On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. 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”). Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and to align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with IFRS, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity can apply the amendments either prospectively or retrospectively, with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 change the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. 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, 2017 and permits the use of either retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. 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 Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt (a) Debt – Related Party On September 15, 2016, the intercompany revolving facility agreement between OCIB and OCI Fertilizer International B.V. (“OCI Fertilizer”) was terminated and replaced with an intercompany revolving facility agreement with OCI USA Inc. (the “Intercompany Revolving Facility”). OCI USA Inc. ("OCI USA") is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI. The Intercompany Revolving Facility has a borrowing capacity of $40,000 and 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 Revolving Credit Facility (including as such per annum rate may fluctuate from time to time in accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility) discussed in note 5(b), plus (ii) 0.25%. OCIB pays a commitment fee to OCI USA 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 September 30, 2016 , OCIB had $35,000 drawn under the Intercompany Revolving Facility. On September 15, 2016, the intercompany loan agreement between OCIB and OCI Fertilizer was terminated and replaced with an intercompany term facility agreement with OCI USA (the “Intercompany Term Facility”). The Intercompany Term Facility has a borrowing capacity of $200,000 and a maturity date of January 20, 2020 . The 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 Loans (including as such per annum rate may fluctuate from time to time in accordance with the terms of the agreement governing the Term Loan B Credit Facility) discussed in note 5(b), plus (ii) 0.25%. As of September 30, 2016 , OCIB has no amounts drawn under the Intercompany Term Facility. OCIB's ability to borrow under the intercompany credit facilities with OCI USA is dependent on OCI's ability and willingness to loan money to OCIB under those facilities. To the extent that OCI faces liquidity, capital, credit or other constraints at the time we initiate borrowings under our intercompany credit facilities, we may be unable to draw the full amount otherwise available to use under those facilities.

The Partnership subsequently became a party to the Term Loan B Credit Facility through a credit agreement joinder, dated as of October 18, 2013. After the payment in full of one tranche during October 2013 and prior to July 2015, the Term Loan B Credit Facility was comprised of two tranches of term debt in the amounts of $235,000 (the “Term B-2 Loan”) and $165,000 (the “Term B-3 Loan” and together with the Term B-2 Loan, the “Existing Term B Loans”), respectively.

On July 2, 2015, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into an Incremental Term Loan Commitment Agreement (the “Incremental Term Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and lender thereunder, pursuant to which OCIB incurred an incremental term loan in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “Term B-4 Loan”) under the Term Loan B Credit Facility. The Term B-4 Loan has terms and provisions identical to the Existing Term B Loans, and the Term B-4 Loan and the Existing Term B Loans collectively comprise a single tranche of Term B Loans under the Term Loan B Credit Facility. On October 16, 2015, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 5 and Waiver (“Term Loan Amendment No. 5”) to the Term Loan B Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.

Scheduled maturities with respect to the Term Loan B Credit Facility are as follows: Fiscal Year 2016 1,120 2017 4,480 2018 4,480 2019 427,345 Total $ 437,425 The Term B 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 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). 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; • make certain acquisitions or enter into agreements with respect to our equity interests; and • engage in certain transactions with affiliates. In addition, as of September 30, 2016 , 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 September 30, 2016, 4.75 to 1.00, (b) in the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, 5.00 to 1.00 and (c) 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 (a) 2.50 to 1.00, in the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and (b) 5.00 to 1.00, each fiscal quarter ending thereafter. 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 September 30, 2016 , we applied the Consolidated EBITDA Material Project Adjustments (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) to our calculation of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) in computing the aforementioned ratios. As of September 30, 2016 , OCIB’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio was 4.60 to 1.00, and its consolidated interest coverage ratio was 2.57 to 1.00. Upon the occurrence of certain events of default under the Term Loan B Credit Facility, OCIB’s obligations under the Term Loan B Credit Facility may be accelerated. The Term Loan B Credit Facility also contains various nonfinancial covenants, which include, among others, undertakings with respect to reporting requirements, maintenance of specified insurance coverage, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As of September 30, 2016 , the Partnership was in compliance with all these covenants. Due primarily to decreases in average sales prices, management believes we may not be in compliance with certain covenants as of December 31, 2016 and thereafter. We expect to explore multiple options to prevent or remediate such noncompliance, including refinancing the credit facilities and/or seeking waivers or amendments to the credit facilities. The Term Loan B Credit Facility contains events of default customary for credit facilities of this nature, including, but not limited to, the failure to pay any principal, interest or fees when due, failure to satisfy any covenant, untrue representations or warranties, impairment of liens, events of default under any other loan document, default under any other material debt agreements, insolvency, certain bankruptcy proceedings, change of control and material litigation resulting in a final judgment against any borrower or subsidiary guarantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Term Loan B Credit Facility, the lenders may, among other things, accelerate and declare the outstanding loans to be immediately due and payable and exercise remedies against OCIB, the Partnership and the collateral as may be available to the lenders under the Term Loan B Credit Facility and other loan documents. 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 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.

Outstanding principal amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at OCIB’s option at either LIBOR plus a margin of 3.50% or a base rate plus a margin of 2.50%. OCIB also pays a commitment fee of 1.40% 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 is required to repay in full all outstanding revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, commencing September 30, 2016 provided that with respect to the repayment occurring on September 30, 2016, OCIB shall only be required to repay an amount such that no more than $20,000 in aggregate principal amount of the revolving loans remain outstanding on such date after giving effect to such repayment. As of September 30, 2016 , OCIB had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. 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 OCIB from incurring indebtedness (subject to customary exceptions); • limiting OCIB’s ability and that of the Partnership from creating or incurring specified liens on their respective properties (subject to customary exceptions); • limiting OCIB’s ability and that of the Partnership to make distributions and equity repurchases (which shall be permitted if no default exists and in the case of distributions and equity repurchases from a subsidiary to its parent); and • 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. As of September 30, 2016 , 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 September 30, 2016, 4.75 to 1.00, (b) in the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, 5.00 to 1.00 and (c) 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 (a) 2.50 to 1.00, in the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and (b) 5.00 to 1.00, each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.

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. On November 10, 2014, pursuant to the Intercompany Equity Commitment, the Partnership received a capital contribution of $60,000 from OCIP Holding LLC (“OCIP Holding”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI, to help finance the funding required to complete the debottlenecking project, and, in exchange, the Partnership issued 2,995,372 common units to OCIP Holding.

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. Due to the capital contributions by OCIP Holding on November 10, 2014 and April 17, 2015, and the completion of the debottlenecking project, OCI USA has no further obligation to make equity contributions to us under the Intercompany Equity Commitment.

Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings	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. 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 September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 .

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, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 24, 2016. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Partnership’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 , 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 and nine-months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 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 The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to communicate changes to the codification. The Partnership considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. The following are those ASU’s that are relevant to the Partnership. On November 20, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. 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”). Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes and to align the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities with IFRS, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A reporting entity can apply the amendments either prospectively or retrospectively, with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The FASB issued this ASU as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 change the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. 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, 2017 and permits the use of either retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. 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.
