The Calgary technical office provides geological, geophysical, and reservoir engineering support and mineral leasing. 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.
