Accounting Policies [Abstract]
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. 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 Euronext Amsterdam and trades under the symbol “OCI.” Termination of Negotiations on Proposed Transaction On April 14, 2017, OCI terminated negotiations with the conflicts committee of the board of directors of our general partner regarding OCI's previously announced offer to acquire all publicly held common units of the Partnership in exchange for OCI shares, at an exchange ratio of 0.5200 OCI shares for each common unit. OCI currently owns 80% of the issued and outstanding common units of the Partnership. After negotiations with the conflicts committee reached an impasse, OCI informed representatives of the conflicts committee that no acceptable definitive agreement could be reached. 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, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017. 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, 2017 , 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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 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 Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted and 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 August 29, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the cash flow reporting of certain issues that were either unclear or not addressed under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard requires the retrospective transition method and is effective for annual and interim periods in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), 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, modified retrospective, or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and has elected the modified retrospective approach as the transition method. Other than additional required disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2017 we adopted ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The FASB issued this ASU on November 20, 2015 as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Previously, GAAP required 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 has been applied prospectively and did not have any impact on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Effective January 1, 2017 we adopted ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The FASB issued this ASU on July 22, 2015 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 did not have any impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

(the “Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party”) became effective on November 30, 2016 and has a borrowing capacity of $40,000 and a maturity date of January 20, 2020 . The amount that can be drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party 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 Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party 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 Inc, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of OCI, (“OCI USA”) under the Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party 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 Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party is subordinated to indebtedness under the Term Loan B Credit Facility (as defined below) and the Revolving Credit Facility.

The intercompany term loan facility between OCIB and OCI USA (the “Term Loan Facility—Related Party”) became effective on November 30, 2016 and has a borrowing capacity of $200,000 and a maturity date of January 20, 2020 . Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility—Related Party are subordinated to indebtedness under the Term Loan B Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility—Related Party bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the rate per annum applicable to the Term Loan B Credit Facility (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%. Such interest is payable on or before the date that is two business days after each payment of interest under the Term Loan B Credit Facility either, at the election of OCIB, (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind (“PIK Interest”) on which date (in the case of PIK Interest) such accrued interest shall be added to the principal amount of the loan outstanding and accrue interest as set forth in the Term Loan Facility—Related Party.

The Partnership subsequently became a party to the Term Loan B Credit Facility through a credit agreement joinder, dated as of October 18, 2013. The Term Loan B Credit Facility is comprised of three tranches of term debt in the amounts of $235,000 (the “Term B-2 Loan”), $165,000 (the “Term B-3 Loan”) and $50,000 (the “Term B-4 Loan” and, together with the Term B-2 Loan and Term B-3 Loan, the “Term B Loans”). On March 17, 2016, OCIB, the Partnership and OCI USA entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Term Loan B Credit Facility (“Term Loan Amendment No. 6”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Amendment No. 6 (i) increased the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 4.25 for the quarter ending June 30, 2016, (ii) increased the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 4.75 for the quarter ending September 30, 2016, (iii) increased the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio from 1.75 to 5.00 for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, (iv) decreased the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio from 5.00 to 3.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2016 and to 2.50 for each of the quarters ending September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, and (v) increased 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) 6.75% above LIBOR for the Term B Tranche of LIBO Rate Term Loans (as defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility) or (b) 5.75% above the Base Rate for the Term B Tranche of Base Rate Term Loans (as each such term is defined in the Term Loan B Credit Facility). On November 30, 2016, OCIB utilized the funds borrowed under the Term Loan Facility—Related Party (see note 5(a)) to prepay $200,000 of Term B Loans under the Term B Loan Credit Facility and entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Term Loan B Credit Facility ("Term Loan Amendment No. 7”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Term Loan Amendment No. 7, among other things, (i) increased the maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio covenant (a) from 5.00 to 6.25 for the quarter ending March 31, 2017, (b) from 1.75 to 5.50 for each of the quarters ending June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, (c) from 1.75 to 5.25 for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, and (d) from 1.75 to 4.75 for the quarter ending March 31, 2018 and for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, (ii) decreased the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio covenant (a) from 2.50 to 1.25 for each of the quarters ending December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, (b) from 5.00 to 1.50 for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, (c) from 5.00 to 1.75 for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 and (d) from 5.00 to 2.25 for the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, and (iii) updated the computation of certain financial covenants to exclude interest incurred under the Term Loan Facility—Related Party and the Revolving Credit Facility—Related Party. As a result of the $200,000 principal prepayment on November 30, 2016, we accelerated amortization in the amount of $7,600 of unamortized deferred financing fees, which was included as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Term B 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.

Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings	Commitments, Contingencies and Legal Proceedings Litigation: 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. Environmental: 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.

Business and Basis of Presentation (Policies)	9 Months Ended

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, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2017. 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, 2017 , 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, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 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 Adopted and 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 August 29, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the cash flow reporting of certain issues that were either unclear or not addressed under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard requires the retrospective transition method and is effective for annual and interim periods in the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, although early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), 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, modified retrospective, or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Partnership will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and has elected the modified retrospective approach as the transition method. Other than additional required disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2017 we adopted ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The FASB issued this ASU on November 20, 2015 as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards and improve comparability between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Previously, GAAP required 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 has been applied prospectively and did not have any impact on the Partnership’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Effective January 1, 2017 we adopted ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The FASB issued this ASU on July 22, 2015 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 did not have any impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
