NEWS RELEASE

RANGE THIRD QUARTER PRODUCTION REACHES RECORD LEVEL

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, OCTOBER 17, 2013…RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today announced that its third quarter 2013 production volumes reached a record high of 960 Mmcfe per day, a 21% increase over the prior year quarter.

The record production was primarily driven by the continued success of the Company’s drilling program in the Marcellus Shale. Third quarter production of 960 Mmcfe per day exceeded the high-end of Company guidance of 945 – 950 Mmcfe per day due to continued positive performance of wells in the Marcellus Shale and the timing of turning wells to production.

The Company also announced its preliminary third quarter 2013 natural gas, NGLs and oil price realizations (including the impact of cash-settled hedges and derivative settlements which would correspond to analysts’ estimates) averaged $4.80 per mcfe, a 2% composite decrease from the prior year quarter.

Range estimates that during the third quarter it incurred a net expense of approximately $3.7 million related to purchasing and blending third party dry gas into its rich residue gas from the southwest portion of the Marcellus. The purchase and sale will be reported separately in “Brokered natural gas and marketing revenues and expenses” for the quarter. The Mariner West project, expected to be fully operational during November, will eliminate Range’s need for gas blending in the future.

Commenting on the announcement, Jeff Ventura, Range’s President and CEO, said, “Third quarter production results were outstanding and reflect the continuing efforts of our operating and marketing teams. The success of our drilling program keeps us on track to achieve the high-end of our production growth target of 20% to 25% for 2013. More importantly, our sizable position in the Marcellus Shale gives us confidence that we can deliver similar growth of 20% to 25% for many years. We believe this strong growth, coupled with high returns, low cost and low reinvestment risk will allow Range to drive substantial growth per share for our shareholders for years to come.”

The information in this release is unaudited. Final results, including final third quarter 2013 product price realizations (including the impact of cash-settled hedges and derivative settlements) and costs will be provided in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 currently planned to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the end of October 2013.
