About Us

 JRSL is a multi-disciplined enterprise with operations in agriculture, food processing, financial services, property management and energy.

Tundra commenced operations in January 1980 when it began its steady growth path through the development of new assets and the integration of strategic acquisitions. Tundra operates over 95% of its production, which is approximately 38,000 barrels of light crude oil per day.

Tundra’s core properties are located within the Williston Basin in Southwestern Manitoba and Southeastern Saskatchewan. A focused approach to exploration and development applies to core areas.

Currently, the firm employs 350+ staff located across four offices (Winnipeg and Virden, Manitoba; Estevan, Saskatchewan; Calgary, Alberta) and at various field sites.

The Winnipeg head office provides accounting, communications, land administration, including well licensing support for all offices, human resources support and information services.

Tundra’s Virden field office oversees our daily operations of over 5,000 wells and facilities. Staff provide technical expertise for all drilling, completions and production activity, engineering support for facilities optimization, surface leasing, supply chain management, sustainability initiatives, production accounting, human resources, local information services and coordination of the company’s safety program.

The Calgary technical office provides geological, geophysical, reservoir engineering support and mineral acquisitions. Tundra uses the latest technology to explore for and develop assets, including 3D and 4D seismic, advanced coring and logging techniques, reservoir characterization and dynamic fluid simulation, and secondary and tertiary recovery mechanisms, such as waterflooding and CO₂ injection.

Tundra Oil & Gas Limited and it's sole shareholder, James Richardson & Sons, Limited (“JRSL”), have established a track record of success and integrity over six generations of doing business in Canada. Ours is a rare heritage, one that provides an important foundation of values, credibility, and ethics upon JRSL and Tundra will continue to grow and prosper for the benefit of all their stakeholders.
