Re: Imperial Oil Limited

Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013

Filed February 26, 2014

SEC Letter dated October 16, 2014

File No. 000-12014

Dear Mr. Skinner:

As follow-up to my telephone conversation with you on October 20, 2014 in which I requested an extension for Imperial Oil Limited to respond to the question in your letter of October 16, I am confirming our requested submission date of no later than November 15, 2014. We will endeavor to provide a response earlier if possible.

We believe the extended time will enable Imperial to adequately prepare and review the responses to your questions with management, auditors, legal counsel, and our Board.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

/s/ Randy D. Gillis
