Abstract
In its second big U.S. Gulf Coast deal in as many months, the Canadian petrochemical maker Nova Chemicals has agreed to buy Williams Partners’ Geismar, La., ethylene cracker and related assets for $2.1 billion. Nova will get Williams’s 88% interest in the Geismar cracker, which in 2015 was expanded by 40% to a capacity of 900,000 metric tons per year. Saudi Basic Industries Corp. owns the other 12%. Also included in the deal is Williams’s interest in an ethylene trading hub in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and more than 200 hectares of undeveloped adjacent land that Nova says “represents a significant opportunity for future growth.” Last month, Nova formed a partnership with its European sister company, Borealis, and the French firm Total to build a $1.7 billion ethylene cracker near Total’s refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, and a polyethylene plant in Bayport, Texas. Nova makes ethylene and polyethylene in Joffre, Alberta,

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
