Financial Results</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">ATLANTA, October 26, 2016 - RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) today announced
its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services
and equipment primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of
oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, revenues decreased
39.8 percent to $175.9 million compared to $291.9 million in the third quarter of last year. Revenues decreased compared to the
prior year due to lower industry activity levels, equipment utilization and pricing for our services, partially offset by higher
service intensity. Operating loss for the quarter was $56.4 million compared to an operating loss of $52.9 million in the prior
year. Net loss for the quarter was $38.9 million or $0.18 loss per share, compared to net loss of $35.2 million or $0.16 loss
per share last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was a loss of $4.4 million compared
to EBITDA of $15.4 million in the prior year. <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt"><SUP>1</SUP></FONT> For the nine months ended September
30, 2016, revenues decreased by 49.0 percent to $508.0 million compared to $995.8 million last year. Net loss for the nine-month
period was $120.1 million, or $0.56 loss per share, compared to net loss of $61.7 million, or $0.29 loss per share last year.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2016 was $146.6
million, or 83.4 percent of revenues, compared to $234.6 million, or 80.4 percent of revenues, during the third quarter of last
year.&nbsp; Cost of revenues decreased due to lower activity levels, coupled with reduced personnel headcount and incentive compensation.
As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased due to inefficiencies resulting from lower activity levels and continued
low pricing for our services.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $34.9 million
in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $37.3 million in the third quarter of 2015. The decreases resulted from lower total employment
costs due to headcount reductions. As a percentage of revenues, these costs increased to 19.8 percent in the third quarter of
2016 compared to 12.8 percent in the third quarter of 2015. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $52.0 million
during the quarter compared to $69.0 million in the third quarter of the prior year due to minimal capital expenditures during
the past two years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Interest expense during the third quarter of 2016 was $115
thousand, a decrease compared to $250 thousand during the third quarter of the prior year. Interest expense declined during the
quarter because RPC had no outstanding balances under its syndicated credit facility during the quarter. Interest expense during
the third quarter of 2016 consisted of facility fees on the unused portion of RPC&rsquo;s credit facility.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">RPC&rsquo;s revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2016
increased by $32.9 million or 23.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016. Revenues increased due to higher overall activity
levels and RPC&rsquo;s exposure to the Permian Basin. Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2016 increased by $19.6 million
or 15.4 percent due to higher materials and supplies and maintenance and repair expenses resulting from higher activity levels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2016 decreased by $1.6 million or 4.4 percent compared
to the second quarter of 2016 due to lower total employment costs as well as the benefits of continued cost control measures.

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&ldquo;Industry activity began to increase during the third
quarter of 2016,&rdquo; stated Richard A. Hubbell, RPC&rsquo;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &ldquo;The average U.S.
domestic rig count during the third quarter of 2016 was 483, a decrease of 44.1 percent compared to the same period in 2015, but
an increase of 15.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2016. The average price of natural gas during the third quarter
was $2.88 per Mcf, approximately the same as in the prior year but a 31.5 percent sequential increase. The average price of oil
during the third quarter was $44.93 per barrel, a 4.0 percent decrease compared to the prior year and a 2.4 percent decrease compared
to the second quarter of 2016. The pricing for our services, which began decreasing in the first quarter of 2015, appears to have
stabilized, as industry participants acknowledge the current pricing levels are unsustainable. While this development is favorable,
we have not yet observed consistent pricing improvement in any of our geographic markets or service lines. We continue to maintain
our equipment as we have throughout this downturn, and have not re-activated any of our idle fleets, in spite of increased activity.
During the quarter, we began to recruit employees in selected markets and have also confirmed with our vendors the availability
of raw materials and components used in providing our services. We also continue to maintain our financial strength, and at the
end of the third quarter, our balance sheet showed $139.1 million in cash, with no debt. We invested $6.6 million in capital expenditures
to maintain our equipment during the third quarter, and we continue to project minimal capital expenditures during the near term,&rdquo;
concluded Hubbell.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">RPC&rsquo;s business segments are Technical Services and Support
Services.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Technical Services includes RPC&rsquo;s oilfield service lines
that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer&rsquo;s
well. These services are generally directed toward improving the flow of oil and natural gas from producing formations or to address
well control issues. The Technical Services segment includes pressure pumping, coiled tubing, hydraulic workover services, nitrogen,
downhole tools, surface pressure control equipment, well control and fishing tool operations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Support Services includes RPC&rsquo;s oilfield service lines
that provide equipment for customer use or services to assist customer operations. The equipment and services offered include
rental of drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, inspection and storage services, and oilfield training services.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Technical Services revenues decreased by 39.8 percent for the
quarter compared to the prior year due to lower activity levels and pricing as compared to the prior year, particularly within
our pressure pumping service line, which is the largest service line within Technical Services. Support Services revenues decreased
by 39.0 percent during the quarter compared to the prior year due principally to lower pricing and activity levels in the rental
tool service line, which is the largest service line within this segment, partially offset by stronger financial results within
several of the other service lines which comprise this segment. Both Technical and Support Services continue to report operating
losses due to low levels of revenues, partially offset by cost control efforts undertaken throughout the company and lower depreciation
and amortization expenses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Certain statements and information included in this press release
constitute &quot;forward-looking statements&quot; within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including all statements that look forward in time or express management&rsquo;s beliefs, expectations or hopes. In particular,
such statements include, without limitation, RPC&rsquo;s expectations regarding capital expenditures during 2016; our projection
for minimal capital expenditures during the near term; and our belief that pricing for our services has ceased declining. These
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such
forward-looking statements. Such risks include changes in general global business and economic conditions; credit risks associated
with collections of our accounts receivable from customers experiencing challenging business conditions; drilling activity and
rig count; risks of reduced availability or increased costs of both labor and raw materials used in providing our services; the
impact on our operations if we are unable to comply with regulatory and environmental laws; turmoil in the financial markets and
the potential difficulty to fund our capital needs; the potentially high cost of capital required to fund our capital needs; the
impact of the level of unconventional exploration and production activities may cease or change in nature so as to reduce demand
for our services; the actions of the OPEC cartel, the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict
in the oil-producing regions of the world, which could impact drilling activity; adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing
regions, including the Gulf of Mexico; competition in the oil and gas industry; an inability to implement price increases; risks
of international operations; and our reliance upon large customers. Additional discussion of factors that could cause the actual
results to differ materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in RPC's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">RPC has used the non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in today's earnings release, and anticipates using EBITDA in today's earnings
conference call. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income or other performance
measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. RPC uses EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it allows us to
compare performance consistently over various periods without regard to changes in our capital structure. We are also required
to use EBITDA to report compliance with financial covenants under our revolving credit facility. A non-GAAP financial measure
is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject
to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated
and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes
amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable
measure so calculated and presented. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA with Net Income, the most comparable GAAP measure.
This reconciliation also appears on RPC's investor website, which can be found on the Internet at www.rpc.net.</P>
