Results</B></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">ATLANTA, October 25, 2017 - RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) today announced
its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017. 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: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, revenues increased by
167.8 percent to $471.0 million compared to $175.9 million in the third quarter of last year. Revenues increased compared to the
prior year due to higher activity levels and pricing for our services, higher service intensity, and continued activation of previously
idled revenue-producing equipment. Operating profit for the quarter was $97.4 million compared to an operating loss of $56.4 million
in the prior year. Net income for the quarter was $57.3 million, or $0.26 diluted earnings per share, compared to net loss of $38.9
million or $0.18 loss per share last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the quarter
was $137.5 million compared to a loss of $4.4 million in the prior year.<SUP>1</SUP> For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,
revenues increased to $1.2 billion compared to $508.0 million last year. Net income for the nine-month period was $104.8 million,
or $0.48 diluted earnings per share, compared to net loss of $120.1 million, or $0.56 loss per share last year.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2017 was $294.8 million,
or 62.6 percent of revenues, compared to $146.6 million, or 83.4 percent of revenues, during the third quarter of last year.&nbsp;
Cost of revenues increased primarily due to higher activity levels and service intensity. As a percentage of revenues, cost of
revenues decreased due to improved pricing for our services as well as leverage of higher revenues over direct employment costs.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Selling, general and administrative expenses were $39.7 million
in the third quarter of 2017 compared to $34.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. These expenses increased due to higher compensation
costs, primarily incentive compensation, as well as other expenses consistent with higher activity levels. As a percentage of revenues,
these costs decreased to 8.4 percent in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 19.8 percent in the third quarter of 2016, due to
the leverage of higher revenues over primarily fixed expenses. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $39.6 million compared
to $52.0 million in the third quarter of the prior year due to lower capital expenditures over the previous two years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&ldquo;The U.S. domestic rig count increased again during the third
quarter of 2017, though at a much lower sequential rate than in the previous four quarters,&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 2017 was 946, an
increase of 95.1 percent compared to the same period in 2016, and an increase of 5.7 percent compared to the second quarter of
2017. The average price of natural gas during the third quarter was $2.95 per Mcf, a 2.4 percent increase compared to the prior
year, and a 4.2 percent decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017. The average price of oil during the third quarter was
$48.09 per barrel, a 7.0 percent increase compared to the prior year and relatively unchanged compared to the second quarter of
2017. RPC&rsquo;s revenues increased at a rate greater than the change in these industry metrics because of our customers&rsquo;
continued high demand for oilfield service providers capable of operating in highly service-intensive environments.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&ldquo;We are very pleased with the current operating environment
and prospects. Although the increase in the drilling rig count has moderated, we have indications of strong customer activities
for the remainder of 2017 and into the beginning of 2018. During the third quarter RPC began to experience increased labor cost
and raw material inflation, but have managed these cost increases in order to minimize the impact on our profitability. As we discussed
during the third quarter, we have ordered additional pressure pumping equipment as well as activated substantially all of our previously
idled equipment. We finished the third quarter with $136.9 million in cash with no outstanding debt. Capital expenditures during
the quarter were $44.4 million, directed toward both maintenance of our equipment and initial payments on new revenue-producing
equipment. In addition, we returned capital to our shareholders by repurchasing 726,889 RPC common shares on the open market during
the quarter, bringing the total amount of shares repurchased during the first nine months of 2017 to 1,074,889,&rdquo; concluded
Hubbell.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Technical Services revenues increased by 179.0 percent for the quarter
compared to the prior year due to improved pricing, higher activity levels and a larger active fleet of revenue-producing equipment
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 increased by 21.7 percent during the quarter compared to the prior year due primarily
to improved activity levels in the rental tool service line, which is the largest service line within this segment. Technical Services
reported an operating profit during the quarter compared to an operating loss in the prior year, while Support Services reported
operating losses for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016. RPC&rsquo;s corporate expenses increased during the third quarter of
2017 as compared to the prior year due to expenses which vary with higher activity levels and profitability, such as incentive
compensation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 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, that we are pleased with our prospects for the immediate future, and that we have indications of strong
customer activity through the beginning of 2018. 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, including volatility of oil and natural gas prices; 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 the 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 production regions of
the world, which could impact drilling activity; adverse weather conditions in oil and 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, 2016.</P>

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