Form (Form SD) of RPC, Inc. and its subsidiaries (&ldquo;RPC&rdquo; or &ldquo;the Company&rdquo;) is filed pursuant to Rule 13p-1
(&ldquo;the Rule&rdquo;) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule requires disclosure of certain
information when a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products where the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary
to the functionality or production of those products. Additional information is required where the Company has reason to believe
that the minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (&ldquo;DRC&rdquo;) and certain adjoining countries (collectively,
the &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). The specified minerals are gold, columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, and wolframite,
including their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively, the &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.25in">In accordance with the Rule the Company evaluated its products
and determined that during calendar year 2016 certain products it manufactured or contracted to manufacture contain tungsten. As
required by the Rule, the Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry regarding the Conflict Minerals by
doing a survey of the suppliers of products that contained Conflict Minerals, using the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition
and Global e-Sustainability Initiative Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (&ldquo;EICC/GeSI Template&rdquo;). The EICC/GeSI Template
is designed to confirm the use of Conflict Minerals in the covered products, to identify the source of the Conflict Minerals, and
to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">RPC does not purchase raw ore or unrefined Conflict Minerals directly
from mines, smelters or refiners and makes no direct purchases of any minerals in the Covered Countries. The Company&rsquo;s supply
chain with respect to the products that use Conflict Minerals is complex, with intermediaries and third parties in the supply chain
between the manufacture of products and the original sources of Conflict Minerals. The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers
to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied, including sources of 3TG that are
supplied to them from their suppliers (i.e., second-tier suppliers). The Company surveyed 100 percent of its direct suppliers of
raw materials and components. This risk-based approach is consistent in all material aspects with the framework in the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development (&ldquo;OECD&rdquo;) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas and the related Supplements on gold and tin, tantalum and tungsten.</P>
