Jan 22 (Reuters) - Canada's biggest oil-producing province of Alberta said on Tuesday that it would provide a C$440 million ($330 million) loan guarantee for a planned C$2 billion ($1.5 billion) oil partial upgrading facility, aiming to push more crude through its full pipelines.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said her government had signed a letter of intent for the loan guarantee to private company Value Creation Inc VALCT.UL , which intends to make a final investment decision by year-end on building the facility near Edmonton.
