ConocoPhillips has confirmed Canadian job cuts scheduled for 27 October 2026, with both staff and contractors affected. The company has not released a figure for the positions being eliminated, according to Reuters and CTV News.
Notification arrangements differ between locations. CTV News reported that an internal message directed Calgary staff to stay home that day and receive decisions virtually. Personnel at Surmont and Montney were told to expect telephone notifications.
The company has also not specified the distribution of cuts across its Alberta operations. CTV News said it had asked the provincial government whether ConocoPhillips had submitted a group termination notice.
In its response to CTV News, media relations director Dennis Nuss described organizational reviews as a routine part of matching the business to its strategy and maintaining safe, efficient operations.
The company’s 2025 annual report puts Canada’s share of its worldwide employee base at 8%. Total employment stood at approximately 9,900 at the end of that year.
