Suncor Energy Sells Off Interests in Terra Nova, White Rose, and West White Rose Projects

Ithaca will assume $1.4 billion in liabilities and a $500 million well compliance program as Suncor narrows its offshore footprint.

  • On Sunday, Calgary-based Suncor Energy Inc. announced it is selling its interests in three Newfoundland oil fields to London-based Ithaca Energy PLC IACAF in a deal worth up to $1.55 billion, marking a major reduction in its regional presence.
  • An upfront payment of $1.2 billion, plus up to an additional $350 million in contingent payments based on future oil prices, forms the agreement with an effective date of July 1, 2026.
  • Ithaca will assume all future liabilities associated with the assets, including total estimated abandonment and lease liabilities of $1.4 billion and a $500 million regulatory well compliance program starting in 2027 at Terra Nova.
  • Suncor will maintain its existing interests in the Hibernia and Hebron fields, which are also located off the East Coast, as the sale is expected to close in early 2027.
  • Capital earmarked for normal-course share repurchases will increase to $750 million per month from $500 million, reflecting a shift in the company's capital allocation strategy coinciding with the divestment announcement.
