25 years of pressure pumping expertise

Since its start-up in 1999, Calfrac has grown organically and through opportunistic and strategic acquisitions. Geographic expansion has been selective and includes entry into both conventional and unconventional oil and gas markets. Over the years, Calfrac expanded operations from its first base in Canada to include the United States and Argentina. Each entry was driven by corporate expertise but would not have been successful without local management teams.
