CALGARY — Suncor Energy says it is boosting shareholder returns and targeting higher production and cash flow as part of a new three-year improvement plan outlined in its 2026 investor presentation.
The company announced it will increase annual share repurchases by more than 20 per cent, raising its 2026 target to $4 billion.
Suncor says the plan is designed to strengthen long-term financial performance and operational efficiency across its integrated business, which includes oil sands production, refining and retail fuel operations in Canada and the United States.
Among its key targets, the company aims to increase normalized free funds flow by $2 billion by 2028, while lowering its corporate WTI breakeven price by US$5 per barrel to US$38 per barrel.
The plan also includes growing upstream production by 100,000 barrels per day by 2028 and expanding refining network capacity by 10 per cent to 511,000 barrels per day.
Suncor says it has increased its contingent resource base by 11 billion barrels, bringing the total to 30 billion barrels with no exploration risk.
The company is also outlining longer-term growth potential, including 400,000 barrels per day of future production capacity at an average cost of $30,000 per flowing barrel.
In its release, Suncor says the updated plan reflects a focus on “industry-leading performance and long-term shareholder value,” supported by improvements in cost structure, operational reliability and capital allocation.
The investor presentation, which was webcast publicly, is accompanied by a newly filed report detailing the company’s contingent resources, available through regulatory filings and on Suncor’s website.
Suncor says its operations span the full energy value chain, delivering products to customers across Canada and global markets while supporting economic activity through its oil sands, refining and retail networks.
The company cautions that forward-looking statements in the plan are subject to risks and uncertainties, including market conditions and operational factors, and actual results may differ from projections.
