Basis of Presentation LyondellBasell Industries N.V. is a limited liability company (Naamloze Vennootschap) incorporated under Dutch law by deed of incorporation dated October 15, 2009. Unless otherwise indicated, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar words are used to refer to LyondellBasell Industries N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“LyondellBasell N.V.”). LyondellBasell N.V. is a worldwide manufacturer of chemicals and polymers, a refiner of crude oil, a significant producer of gasoline blending components and a developer and licensor of technologies for the production of polymers. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared from the books and records of LyondellBasell N.V. in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this report.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Accounting and Reporting Changes [Text Block] | 2. Accounting and Reporting Changes Recently Adopted Guidance The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”): Standard Description ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging This guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. The standard also includes scope considerations for entities that hold certain non-derivative forward contracts and purchased options to acquire equity securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchase option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The prospective adoption of this guidance from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity This guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and the application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The standard also amends the accounting for convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied on a modified or fully retrospective basis. The early adoption of this guidance on a modified retrospective basis from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Standard Description ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 This guidance amends and supersedes SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Release No. 33-10762 related to financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities and affiliates whose securities are pledged as collateral for registered securities. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after January 4, 2021. The adoption of this guidance from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of September 30, 2021 There are no ASUs issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Inventories [Text Block] | 5. Inventories Inventories consisted of the following components: Millions of dollars September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Finished goods $ 3,329 $ 2,816 Work-in-process 167 144 Raw materials and supplies 1,486 1,384 Total inventories $ 4,982 $ 4,344 Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”). Cost is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) inventory valuation methodology, which means that the most recently incurred costs are charged to cost of sales and inventories are valued at the earliest acquisition costs. Market is determined based on an assessment of the current estimated replacement cost and selling price of the inventory. In periods where the market price of our inventory declines substantially, cost values of inventory may be higher than the market value, and as a result we adjust the value of inventory to market value. Fluctuations in the prices of crude oil, natural gas and correlated products from period to period may result in the recognition of charges to adjust the value of inventory to the LCM in periods of falling prices and the reversal of those charges in subsequent interim periods, within the fiscal year, as market prices recover. During the first nine months of 2020, we recognized an LCM inventory valuation charge of $163 million related to the decline in pricing for many of our raw material and finished goods inventories since December 31, 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, we recognized an LCM inventory valuation benefit of $160 million, largely driven by the recovery of market pricing for many of our raw material and finished goods inventories during the quarter. |

Investments in Equity Securities —Our investment in equity securities consists of an investment in a limited partnership with a notional amount of $36 million and $353 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The investment is carried at its net asset value as a practical expedient at September 30, 2021 and fair value at December 31, 2020. The investment is under an orderly voluntary liquidation by the fund administrator and we expect the investment to be fully liquidated by early 2022, during which time redemption or sale of the investment is restricted. We received proceeds of $45 million and $309 million related to our investments in equity securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $312 million and $313 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes [Text Block] | 8. Income Taxes For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. Our effective income tax rate fluctuates based on, among other factors, changes in pretax income in countries with varying statutory tax rates, changes in valuation allowances, changes in foreign exchange gains or losses, the amount of exempt income, changes in unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions and changes in tax laws. Our exempt income primarily includes interest income, export incentives, and equity earnings of joint ventures. Interest income earned by certain of our European subsidiaries through intercompany financings is taxed at rates substantially lower than the U.S. statutory rate. Export incentives relate to tax benefits derived from elections and structures available for U.S. exports. Equity earnings attributable to the earnings of our joint ventures, when paid through dividends to certain European subsidiaries, are exempt from all or portions of normal statutory income tax rates. We currently anticipate the favorable treatment for interest income, dividends, and export incentives to continue in the near term; however, this treatment is based on current law and tax rulings, which could change. Our effective income tax rates for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2021 were 20.4% and 17.4%, respectively, compared to 1,136.4% and -16.7% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2020. Our effective income tax rate decreased in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. The lower effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 is primarily attributable to the recognition of a tax benefit of $125 million, primarily from a non-cash impairment in 2020. This tax benefit on our $11 million of pre-tax loss for the third quarter of 2020 resulted in an abnormally high effective tax rate. Our effective income tax rate increased in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020. The higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 is primarily attributable to increased pre-tax earnings relative to our tax rate drivers, primarily exempt income (12.4%), coupled with the tax benefit recognized on a non-cash impairment in 2020 (21.7%). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $497 million and $67 million, respectively, of income taxes payable which was included in Accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block] | 9. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments —We have various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and services incidental to the ordinary conduct of business, generally for quantities required for our businesses and at prevailing market prices. These commitments are designed to assure sources of supply and are not expected to be in excess of normal requirements. As of September 30, 2021 , we had capital expenditure commitments, which we incurred in our normal course of business , including commitments of approximately $472 million related to building our new PO/TBA plant in Houston, Texas. Financial Assurance Instruments —We have obtained letters of credit, performance and surety bonds and have issued financial and performance guarantees to support trade payables, potential liabilities and other obligations. Considering the frequency of claims made against the financial instruments we use to support our obligations, and the magnitude of those financial instruments in light of our current financial position, management does not expect that any claims against or draws on these instruments would have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have not experienced any unmanageable difficulty in obtaining the required financial assurance instruments for our current operations. Environmental Remediation —Our accrued liability for future environmental remediation costs at current and former plant sites and other remediation sites totaled $144 million and $133 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. At September 30, 2021, the accrued liabilities for individual sites range from less than $1 million to $27 million. The remediation expenditures are expected to occur over a number of years, and not concentrated in any single year. In our opinion, it is reasonably possible that losses in excess of the liabilities recorded may have been incurred. However, we cannot estimate any amount or range of such possible additional losses. New information about sites, new technology or future developments such as involvement in investigations by regulatory agencies, could require us to reassess our potential exposure related to environmental matters. Indemnification —We are parties to various indemnification arrangements, including arrangements entered into in connection with acquisitions, divestitures and the formation and dissolution of joint ventures. Pursuant to these arrangements, we provide indemnification to and/or receive indemnification from other parties in connection with liabilities that may arise in connection with the transactions and in connection with activities prior to completion of the transactions. These indemnification arrangements typically include provisions pertaining to third-party claims relating to environmental and tax matters and various types of litigation. As of September 30, 2021, we had not accrued any significant amounts for our indemnification obligations, and we are not aware of other circumstances that would likely lead to significant future indemnification obligations. We cannot determine with certainty the potential amount of future payments under the indemnification arrangements until events arise that would trigger a liability under the arrangements. As part of our technology licensing contracts, we give indemnifications to our licensees for liabilities arising from possible patent infringement claims with respect to certain proprietary licensed technologies. Such indemnifications have a stated maximum amount and generally cover a period of 5 to 10 years. Legal Proceedings— We are subject to various lawsuits and claims, including but not limited to, matters involving contract disputes, environmental damages, personal injury and property damage. We vigorously defend ourselves and prosecute these matters as appropriate. Our legal organization applies its knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of our cases, employing a litigation management process to manage and monitor legal proceedings in which we are a party. Our process facilitates the early evaluation and quantification of potential exposures in individual cases. This process also enables us to track those cases that have been scheduled for trial, mediation or other resolution. We regularly assess the adequacy of legal accruals based on our professional judgment, experience and the information available regarding our cases. Based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, we do not believe the ultimate outcome of any currently pending lawsuit against us will have a material adverse effect upon our operations, financial condition or Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Per Share Data [Text Block] | 11. Per Share Data Basic earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share includes the effect of certain stock option awards and other equity-based compensation awards. We have unvested restricted stock units that are considered participating securities for earnings per share. There was no impact to basic or diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations. Earnings per share data and dividends declared per share of common stock are as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Millions of dollars Continuing Discontinued Continuing Discontinued Net income (loss) $ 1,763 $ (1) $ 114 $ — Dividends on redeemable non-controlling interests (2) — (2) — Net income attributable to participating securities (4) — (1) — Net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders – basic and diluted $ 1,757 $ (1) $ 111 $ — Millions of shares, except per share amounts Basic weighted average common stock outstanding 334 334 334 334 Effect of dilutive securities — — — — Potential dilutive shares 334 334 334 334 Earnings per share: Basic $ 5.25 $ — $ 0.33 $ — Diluted $ 5.25 $ — $ 0.33 $ — Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Millions of dollars Continuing Discontinued Continuing Discontinued Net income (loss) $ 4,892 $ (1) $ 572 $ — Dividends on redeemable non-controlling interests (5) — (5) — Net income attributable to participating securities (12) — (2) — Net income (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders – basic and diluted $ 4,875 $ (1) $ 565 $ — Millions of shares, except per share amounts Basic weighted average common stock outstanding 334 334 334 334 Effect of dilutive securities — — — — Potential dilutive shares 334 334 334 334 Earnings per share: Basic $ 14.58 $ — $ 1.69 $ — Diluted $ 14.57 $ — $ 1.69 $ — |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment and Related Information [Text Block] | 12. Segment and Related Information Our operations are managed by senior executives who report to our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. Discrete financial information is available for each of the segments, and our Chief Executive Officer uses the operating results of each of the operating segments for performance evaluation and resource allocation. The activities of each of our segments from which they earn revenues and incur expenses are described below: • Olefins and Polyolefins—Americas (“O&P—Americas”). Our O&P—Americas segment produces and markets olefins and co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene. • Olefins and Polyolefins—Europe, Asia, International (“O&P—EAI”). Our O&P—EAI segment produces and markets olefins and co-products, polyethylene and polypropylene. • Intermediates and Derivatives (“I&D”). Our I&D segment produces and markets propylene oxide and its derivatives, oxyfuels and related products, and intermediate chemicals such as styrene monomer, acetyls, ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol. • Advanced Polymer Solutions (“APS”) . Our APS segment produces and markets compounding and solutions, such as polypropylene compounds, engineered plastics, masterbatches, engineered composites, colors and powders, and advanced polymers, which includes Catalloy and polybutene-1. • Refining . Our Refining segment refines heavy, high-sulfur crude oil and other crude oils of varied types and sources available on the U.S. Gulf Coast into refined products, including gasoline and distillates. • Technology . Our Technology segment develops and licenses chemical and polyolefin process technologies and manufactures and sells polyolefin catalysts. Our chief operating decision maker uses EBITDA as the primary measure for reviewing profitability of our segments, and therefore, we have presented EBITDA for all segments. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. “Other” includes intersegment eliminations and items that are not directly related or allocated to business operations, such as foreign exchange gains or losses and components of pension and other postretirement benefit costs other than service costs. Sales between segments are made primarily at prices approximating prevailing market prices. Summarized financial information concerning reportable segments is shown in the following tables for the periods presented: Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Millions of dollars O&P– O&P– I&D APS Refining Technology Other Total Sales and other operating revenues: Customers $ 3,071 $ 3,262 $ 2,851 $ 1,280 $ 2,050 $ 186 $ — $ 12,700 Intersegment 1,337 196 43 6 238 52 (1,872) — 4,408 3,458 2,894 1,286 2,288 238 (1,872) 12,700 Income from equity investments 29 66 9 — — — — 104 EBITDA 1,568 474 348 121 41 155 (16) 2,691 Capital expenditures 72 54 327 20 17 22 2 514 Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions of dollars O&P– O&P– I&D APS Refining Technology Other Total Sales and other operating revenues: Customers $ 1,268 $ 1,837 $ 1,498 $ 1,003 $ 1,003 $ 167 $ — $ 6,776 Intersegment 572 145 40 1 98 26 (882) — 1,840 1,982 1,538 1,004 1,101 193 (882) 6,776 Income from equity investments 15 40 7 — — — — 62 LCM inventory valuation benefit (70) (17) (22) (40) (11) — — (160) EBITDA 474 148 267 157 (692) 111 1 466 Capital expenditures 130 38 103 18 15 24 97 425 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Millions of dollars O&P– O&P– I&D APS Refining Technology Other Total Sales and other operating revenues: Customers $ 7,770 $ 9,342 $ 7,086 $ 3,882 $ 4,784 $ 479 $ — $ 33,343 Intersegment 3,220 618 160 10 575 107 (4,690) — 10,990 9,960 7,246 3,892 5,359 586 (4,690) 33,343 Income from equity investments 94 263 32 — — — — 389 EBITDA 4,011 1,594 1,126 385 (150) 341 (13) 7,294 Capital expenditures 219 141 717 55 62 64 27 1,285 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Millions of dollars O&P– O&P– I&D APS Refining Technology Other Total Sales and other operating revenues: Customers $ 3,514 $ 5,543 $ 4,370 $ 2,796 $ 3,193 $ 400 $ — $ 19,816 Intersegment 1,551 365 95 9 275 92 (2,387) — 5,065 5,908 4,465 2,805 3,468 492 (2,387) 19,816 Income (loss) from equity investments 24 88 12 (1) — — — 123 LCM inventory valuation charge 3 53 76 29 2 — — 163 EBITDA 1,088 522 571 226 (799) 279 (15) 1,872 Capital expenditures 524 114 761 41 52 80 101 1,673 During the third quarter of 2020, we assessed the Houston refinery for impairment and determined that the asset group carrying value exceeded its undiscounted estimated pre-tax cash flows and fair value. As a result, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge in the third quarter of 2020 of $582 million, which includes a $570 million impairment of property, plant and equipment and a $12 million impairment of intangible assets. The fair value measurement for the asset group is a Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. We are currently weighing strategic options for our Refining segment, including a potential sale of our Houston refinery. While the refinery is a valuable asset, we believe that it may be even more valuable as part of a larger refining system. Any strategic option pursued for the Houston refinery remains subject to the approval of our Board of Directors and, assuming such approval is obtained, may require certain regulatory approvals or other closing conditions.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Schedule of accounting and reporting changes [Table Text Block] | The following table provides a brief description of recently adopted Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”): Standard Description ASU 2020-01, Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging This guidance clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. The standard also includes scope considerations for entities that hold certain non-derivative forward contracts and purchased options to acquire equity securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchase option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The prospective adoption of this guidance from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity This guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and the application of the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The standard also amends the accounting for convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and requires enhanced disclosures of convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and may be applied on a modified or fully retrospective basis. The early adoption of this guidance on a modified retrospective basis from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Standard Description ASU 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762 This guidance amends and supersedes SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Release No. 33-10762 related to financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities and affiliates whose securities are pledged as collateral for registered securities. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after January 4, 2021. The adoption of this guidance from January 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of September 30, 2021 There are no ASUs issued and not yet adopted that are expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. |
