CALGARY , Jan. 26 /CNW/ - Sanjel Corporation is pleased to announce that with the recent acquisition of approximately 40,000 hydraulic horsepower (HHP) of high rate fracturing pumpers the company's fracturing capacity is now in excess of 175,000 HHP. Sanjel's dedicated fracturing capacity in Canada now exceeds 135,000 HHP and our overall capacity ensures that Sanjel has the flexibility to effectively transfer our fracturing equipment into key North American regions.
