1. A fracturing manifold comprising:
a junction including a junction body defining a volume extending generally along a manifold axis of the fracturing manifold between an upstream opening and a downstream opening;
a first inlet port extending from the junction body, the first inlet port defining a first inlet bore extending along a first inlet port axis from a first coupling configured to couple to a first source of high-pressure fracturing fluid to the volume; and
a second inlet port extending from the junction body, the second inlet port defining a second inlet bore extending along a second inlet port axis from a second coupling configured to couple to a second source of high-pressure fracturing fluid to the volume,
wherein the first inlet port extends from the junction body such that the first inlet port axis is angled, by a first angle, above a horizontal plane passing through the manifold axis
wherein the second inlet port extends from the junction body such that the second inlet port axis is angled, by a second angle, below the horizontal plane, and
wherein the junction body has the first inlet port and the second inlet port located on a first lateral side without additional inlet ports on a second lateral side opposite of the first lateral side.
