ProOne Ramps up Growth with Agreement with DistributionNOW
Houston, TX, July 10, 2014 --(PR.com)-- ProOne, Inc. has announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with DistributionNOW (NYSE: DNOW), one of the largest distributors to the energy and industrial sectors with over 5,000 employees and more than 300 locations worldwide. With a legacy of over 150 years, DistributionNOW was formerly NOV Wilson, a division of National Oilwell Varco.
The agreement gives DistributionNOW rights to distribute ProOne’s proprietary lubricants to the oil & gas industry in the United States and Canada. “We are very pleased to partner with DistributionNOW and to be associated with a company known for high quality products and outstanding customer service. With their extensive distribution network, ProOne’s downhole drilling fluid treatment and other lubricants are now readily available for the industry,” says Don Barnes, ProOne’s Executive Vice President.
The initial areas of focus for the companies are in key oilfields in Texas and Oklahoma, expanding across the U.S. and Canada in 2014 and 2015. “ProOne has proven that it has a game changing technology for oil & gas drilling, and we are excited about the new market opportunities that this technology will open for our company,” said Craig Knight, the U.S. Drilling Sales Manager of DistributionNOW. “ProOne’s products will help DistributionNOW offer our customers value-added services to control their costs and help solve problems.”
ProOne Bio-Stable Drilling Fluid Treatment has over 50 times greater film strength than conventional lubricants, and yet is plant-based, biodegradable and environmentally friendly. ProOne’s product has been shown to reduce torque and drag by as much as 50% and increase rate of penetration in lateral wells. This results in reduced costs and in many cases allows operators to complete wells that otherwise might not have reached TD. The technology has been used successfully in several hundred wells by major operators in North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, California and Colorado.
