Wolverine Oil and Gas Corp
One Riverfront Plaza , 55 Campau NW , Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States

Wolverine is a privately owned, independent oil and gas exploration and production company based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Since 1948 and over three generations, the Jansma family has been successfully and responsibly developing oil and gas reserves to meet our nations energy needs.

What began with a single well has since blossomed into a successful family-run corporation. When founder, Sidney J. Jansma Sr., invested in his first well in 1948, the Dutch immigrant soon realized he could do it better. He began buying and drilling a series of wells. By the time Sidney J. Jansma Jr. came on board in August 1966, the company was just settling into its name: Wolverine Gas and Oil.

With a strategic focus on exploration, Sid Jr. brought added momentum to an already thriving business. Yielding more than 2 million barrels, Marstrand 1-27 in Michigan was the companys first major discovery. Similar successes followed with the Niagaran, Trenton, Prairie Du Chien, and Antrim formations.

Now led by Sidney J. Jansma III, Wolverine is made up of highly trained professionals in roles that span the disciplines of engineering, geology, geophysics, operations, and more. With a continuing focus on exploration, we are actively seeking new, production opportunities in the continental United States.

Our Mission
Wolverine will find and produce natural gas and oil efficiently, so that God is honored, our environment is protected, our employees are constructively challenged and well paid, and our owners and partners receive an excellent return on their investment.
