International Petroleum Corporation has begun steam injection at its 100%-owned Blackrod Phase 1 heavy oil development in Canada, marking a key milestone toward first oil production, which the company continues to forecast for the third quarter of 2026, one quarter earlier than initially guided. The project, which targets plateau production of 30,000 barrels of oil per day within a regulatory framework that allows up to 80,000 barrels per day, remains on budget with forecast growth capital expenditure of USD 850 million, of which about 92% had been spent by the end of the third quarter of 2025; the scale of Blackrod’s reserves and contingent resources underscores its strategic importance to IPC’s long-term production growth and cash flow profile.
