TALKS RE $5BILLION PETROCHEMICAL PLANT IN ALBERTA

   Alberta is in talks with a private Saudi Arabian company to open a $5-billion petrochemical facility in the province, according to the associate minister of natural gas.
   Associate minister Dale Nally would not name the company in talks with the province, but his office confirmed it is not a state-owned entity. He also would not specify where the facility could be built but said it would be worth between $5-billion and $10-billion and would take more than five years to build.
   Despite pandemic-fuelled economic uncertainty that has companies across the globe cutting expenses to protect their balance sheets, Mr. Nally said his department has spoken with several international petrochemical producers eyeing Alberta.
