International Petroleum Company, Ltd. (IPC) was a subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey, based in Toronto, Canada. It began operating in Peru in 1914 to replace the British London Pacific Petroleum Company, and was active until 1969. In that country, it exploited the La Brea and Pariñas field (among others), establishing its processing centre and refinery in Talara for the production of petroleum derivatives.
