What Tundra Petroleum Services does

Tundra Petroleum Services is a privately held, Alberta-based oilfield services company specializing in Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) well intervention and production enhancement for oil and gas operators in Western Canada. Headquartered in Red Deer with operations concentrated in Alberta, the company delivers an integrated suite of services including ESP trucking via specialized tri-drive trucks, single/dual/multi spool banding and clamping, pump lay down and installation, capillary injection for chemical delivery and data acquisition in gas wells, and purge and pressure testing (up to 5000 PSI in-house). Supporting offerings include NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) testing, custom-length capillary spooling, and clamp supply, refurbishment, and installation.

The company's core technology centers on specialized mechanical and hydraulic equipment for ESP lifecycle management, including Tri-Plex Cat pump systems, hydraulic banding guns with wireless remote control and ESD protection, capillary injection units designed for live-well deployment with conventional blowout preventers, and the proprietary Gator ESP Brake Sheave — an air-actuated brake system co-developed with Cenovus Energy to prevent uncontrolled cable release during Pull Out of Hole operations. Tundra has also extended a proprietary fiber optic disconnect system into utility infrastructure projects with SaskPower and SaskEnergy.

Commercially, Tundra operates a project-based, quote-driven B2B enterprise field-sales model, reaching customers through direct phone outreach, website inquiries, and industry referrals. A dedicated sales team (Carl Kennedy, Dave Winnicky) and full operations, health and safety, and accounts administration functions support 24-hour service availability. The company is owner-operated, with no disclosed external funding or parent entity, and serves a single regional market across Western Canada.
