RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today
announced year-end 2023 proved reserves of 18.1 Tcfe and SEC PV10
of $7.9 billion.
Commenting, Dennis Degner, the Company’s CEO
said. "This year’s reserve report is consistent with last year’s
report, reflecting the quality, scale and repeatability of Range’s
asset base and continued positive performance revisions. Year-end
2023 reserves include approximately 3.1 million lateral feet from
proved undeveloped locations that are part of our five-year plan.
In addition to proved reserves, Range has approximately 25 million
lateral feet of undeveloped high-quality Marcellus inventory, which
is supported by continued strong performance of existing
production. With our unmatched inventory depth, competitive
full-cycle cost structure, and strong financial position we believe
Range is very well-positioned to drive sustainable, long-term value
and capital returns to shareholders for years to come.”
2023 Proved Reserves
Year-end 2023 proved reserves were 18.1 Tcfe, up
slightly from last year. By volume, proved reserves
were 64.1% natural gas, 34.5% natural gas liquids and 1.4% crude
oil and condensate. Proved developed reserves represent 64% of the
Company’s reserves.

During 2023, Range realized positive performance
revisions of 611 Bcfe. This marked the 16th consecutive year of
positive performance revisions driven by continued strong results
from existing Marcellus producing wells. As shown in the table
below, the present value (PV10) of proved reserves under SEC
methodology was $7.9 billion at December 31, 2023. For comparison,
the PV10 using December 31, 2023 strip prices equates to $11.7
billion using the same proved reserve volumes.

NYMEX 10-year strip prices

reserves. |
Year-end 2023 reserves included 6.6 Tcfe of
proved undeveloped reserves from approximately 3.1 million lateral
feet scheduled to be developed within the next five years with an
expected development cost of $0.40 per mcfe. Future development
costs included in the year-end 2023 reserve report utilized
estimates consistent with 2024 expected drilling and completion
costs. Beyond the five-year reserve calculation window, Range has
approximately 25 million undrilled lateral feet of high-quality
Marcellus and millions of undrilled lateral feet in the Utica and
Upper Devonian horizons. Range also has a network of more than 250
existing well pads that provide the opportunity to develop future
wells while utilizing existing roads, pads and infrastructure.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe that the presentation of PV10 is
relevant and useful to our investors as supplemental disclosure to
the standardized measure, or after-tax amount, because it presents
the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved
reserves before taking into account future corporate income taxes
and our current tax structure. While the standardized measure is
dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV10 is
based on prices and discount factors that are consistent for all
companies. Because of this, PV10 can be used within the industry
and by creditors and security analysts to evaluate estimated net
cash flows from proved reserves on a more comparable basis.

Included within this release are certain
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal
securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are not
limited to historical facts, but reflect Range’s current beliefs,
expectations or intentions regarding future events. Words
such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,”
“project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook”,
“estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,”
and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements.
All statements, except for statements of
historical fact, made within this release regarding activities,
events or developments the Company expects, believes or anticipates
will or may occur in the future, such as those regarding future
well costs and productivity, future commodity fundamentals and
pricing, anticipated drilling and completion activity, anticipated
wells to be turned to sales and expected development costs, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are
based on assumptions and estimates that management believes are
reasonable based on currently available information; however,
management’s assumptions and Range’s future performance are subject
to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties and there is no
assurance that these goals and projections can or will be met. Any
number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially
from those in the forward-looking statements. Further information
on risks and uncertainties is available in Range’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its most recent
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless required by law, Range
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after
the date they are made.
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in
filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are
estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known
reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions as well
as the option to disclose probable and possible reserves. Range has
elected not to disclose its probable and possible reserves in its
filings with the SEC. Range uses certain broader terms such as
“resource potential,” “unrisked resource potential,” “unproved
resource potential” or “upside” or other descriptions of volumes of
resources potentially recoverable through additional drilling or
recovery techniques that may include probable and possible reserves
as defined by the SEC’s guidelines. Range has not attempted to
distinguish probable and possible reserves from these broader
classifications. The SEC’s rules prohibit us from including in
filings with the SEC these broader classifications of reserves.
These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates
of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are
subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized.
Unproved resource potential refers to Range’s internal estimates of
hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through
exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or
recovery techniques and have not been reviewed by independent
engineers. Unproved resource potential does not constitute reserves
within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum
Resource Management System and does not include proved reserves.
Area wide unproven resource potential has not been fully risked by
Range’s management. “EUR”, or estimated ultimate recovery, refers
to our management’s estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be
recovered from a well completed as a producer in the area. These
quantities may not necessarily constitute or represent reserves
within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum
Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and natural gas
disclosure rules. Actual quantities that may be recovered from
Range’s interests could differ substantially. Factors affecting
ultimate recovery include the scope of Range’s drilling program,
which will be directly affected by the availability of capital,
drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of
drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease
expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals,
field spacing rules, recoveries of gas in place, length of
horizontal laterals, actual drilling results, including geological
and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates and other factors.
Estimates of resource potential may change significantly as
development of our resource plays provides additional data.
In addition, our production forecasts and
expectations for future periods are dependent upon many
assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from
existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling
activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price
declines or drilling cost increases. Investors are urged to
consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, available from our website at www.rangeresources.com or
by written request to 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort
Worth, Texas 76102. You can also obtain this Form 10-K on the SEC’s
website at www.sec.gov or by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
