Imperial Oil to Cut Workforce by 20% by 2027 in Companywide Restructuring

The plan targets roughly $150 million in annual savings after a one-time Q3 2025 charge of about $330 million.

Overview

  • Imperial will consolidate functions to operating sites to streamline collaboration, operational focus and execution.
  • Management says corporate guidance remains unchanged as it seeks higher production and lower unit operating costs.
  • The reductions are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027, with savings expected to reach the run rate by 2028.
  • Specific head-count impacts and timelines by location have not been detailed, including potential effects on the Calgary head office.
  • Major assets such as Kearl and Cold Lake are described as on track to meet or beat medium-term production and cost targets.
