ProOne Inc. Introduces XPL+® Lubrication Technology to Transform Pumping Unit Performance
FULLERTON, California, December 10, 2025 - ProOne Inc., a proven leader in oil & gas lubrication with its proprietary technology, today announced the launch of its XPL+®-formulated gear oils and greases developed specifically for pumping units.
Operating under relentless stress from heavy loads, continuous duty, and extreme environments, pumping units are the backbone of oilfield production. ProOne’s new lubricants, powered by its proprietary XPL+® metal-bonding lubrication technology which is built for extreme conditions, provides 50 times more extreme pressure protection to reduce downtime, lower maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.
Impressive Field Test Results
A leading producer in New Mexico was having problems with severe polish rod friction causing packing to blow out in stuffing boxes more than three times per week, resulting in between $10,000 and $100,000 in clean up and remediation work, and countless days of lost production. They started using ProOne EP-2 Grease on six problem wells and reported that packing lasted 1-2 weeks. Runtimes were consistent, production increased, and they received fewer problems and fines from oil spills.
The Ultimate Game-Changer in Pumping Unit Lubrication
ProOne Extreme Lubricants with XPL+® are engineered to meet the kind of demanding challenges faced by pumping units in continuous service. XPL+® technology forms a strong molecular bond with metal surfaces, dramatically reducing friction and wear, even under extreme load. The result is exceptional stability, longer service intervals, and greater reliability, making it a true breakthrough for operators focused on performance and cost control.
“Pumping units are the heart of oilfield operations,” said Lawrence Kahn, CEO of ProOne. “With our proprietary XPL+® technology, operators can cut costs, extend service life, and operate equipment with more efficiency.”
ProOne’s lubricants are trusted by major operators across the U.S. and internationally and have been successfully used in thousands of drilling operations. With the introduction of this specialized solution for pumping units, ProOne continues to raise the standard for performance and reliability in oil & gas lubrication.
