January 30, 2026
Imperial Oil says it will end operations at its Norman Wells facility, the heart of the Sahtu town’s economy, later this year.
In a Friday statement posted to its website, Imperial said: “Hydrocarbon production at Norman Wells in the Northwest Territories will end in the third quarter of 2026 as the facility comes to the end of its lifespan.”
The company has had a presence in the area for more than a century, but had repeatedly stated in recent years that the end was near.
