(RPC) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services and equipment primarily to independent and major oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the southwest, mid-continent, Gulf of America, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and in selected international markets. RPC acts as a holding company for the following legal entity groupings: Cudd Energy Services, Cudd Pressure C...

RPC acts as a holding company for the following legal entity groupings: Cudd Energy Services, Cudd Pressure Control, Thru Tubing Solutions and Patterson Services. Selected overhead including centralized support services and regulatory compliance are classified as Corporate. RPC is further organized into Technical Services and Support Services, which are its operating segments.

Business Segments

RPC manages its business as either services offered on the well site with equipment and personnel (Technical Services), or services and equipment offered off the well site (Support Services). The businesses under Technical Services generate revenues based on equipment, personnel operating the equipment and the materials utilized to provide the service. They are all managed, analyzed and reported based on the similarities of the operational characteristics and costs associated with providing the service.

Technical Services include RPC’s oil and gas services that utilize people and equipment to perform value-added completion, production and maintenance services directly to a customer’s well. The demand for these services is generally influenced by customers’ decisions to invest capital toward initiating production in a new oil or natural gas well, improving production flows in an existing formation, or to address well control issues. This operating segment consists primarily of pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing and cementing. Customers include major multi-national and independent oil and gas producers and selected nationally owned oil companies. The services offered under Technical Services are high capital and personnel intensive businesses. The common drivers of operational and financial success of these services include diligent equipment maintenance, strong logistical processes, and appropriately trained personnel who function well in a team environment. Technical Services are provided in all of RPC’s principal geographical markets.

Support Services include all of the services that provide (i) equipment offered off the well site without RPC personnel and (ii) services that are provided in the support of customer operations off the well site such as classroom and computer training. The equipment and services offered include rental tools, drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, pipe inspection and storage services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels. The primary drivers of operational success for Support Services are offering safe, high quality and in-demand equipment, as well as meeting customer needs and competitive marketing of such services. Customers primarily include domestic operations of independent oil and gas producers and major multi-nationals and selected nationally owned oil companies. Support Services are provided in all of RPC’s principal geographical markets.

Technical Services Segment

Pressure Pumping: 41.5% of 2024 Total Revenues

Services are provided to customers throughout Texas and the mid-continent regions of the United States, with a concentration in the Permian basin. The company primarily provides pressure pumping services to customers to enhance the initial production of hydrocarbons in unconventional horizontal well formations. These formations require high volumes of stimulation fluids using a great deal of pressure pumping horsepower to complete the well. Since unconventional wells transitioned from vertical to a long (often 10,000 to over 20,000 feet) horizontal lateral, they require tools and drilling mechanisms that are flexible and can be steered once they are downhole. For these reasons, unconventional wells require more of RPC’s services, such as coiled tubing services and downhole tools, as described in subsections below.

Hydraulic Fracturing, often synonymous with pressure pumping, is performed to stimulate production of oil and natural gas by increasing the permeability of a shale formation. The fracturing process consists of pumping fluids and sand into a cased and perforated well at sufficient pressure to fracture the formation at desired locations and depths. When the pressure is released at the surface, the fluid returns to the well surface, but the proppant remains in the fracture, thus keeping it open to allow oil and natural gas to flow into the production tubing and to the surface.

RPC’s frac fleets are consisted of high pressure hydraulic pumps, powered by both diesel and dual-fuel engines, and ancillary equipment such as hoses, valves and blenders, and operational trailers to house personnel and computerized control systems. Pressure pumping equipment is typically truck or skid-mounted equipment for mobility. The company ended 2024 with 10 horizontal fleets, of which 3 were Tier 4 DGB (dynamic gas blending, also referred to as dual-fuel as they can utilize both diesel and natural gas) and 3 were Tier 4 Diesel. Tier 4 is a set of regulations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that aims to reduce harmful emissions from engines and generators. The company intends to continue upgrading its equipment to Tier 4 DGB over time in response to the industry trending toward lower emission and more cost effective dual-fuel assets, but does not intend to increase its overall number of frac fleets.

Downhole Tools: 27.3% of 2024 Total Revenues

Services and proprietary downhole motors and other specialized tools, such as fishing devices, are provided to drilling and production operators to enable casing perforation and bridge plug drilling at the completion stage of an oil or gas well. Products are also used during workover operations. The services that Thru Tubing Solutions (TTS) provides are often proprietary solutions developed by the company, for which the company maintains an active intellectual property and patent program. Management believes Downhole Tools represents a differentiated service line with opportunities for technological innovation and new product development to drive growth. Examples of newly introduced products include a 3½ inch high performance downhole motor, as well as Unplug, a proprietary alternative solution to traditional bridge plugs using perforation pods to reduce inefficiencies and technical risks associated with traditional plugs.

Coiled Tubing: 9.6% of 2024 Total Revenues

Services involve the injection of a flexible steel pipe thousands of feet in length into a wellbore to conduct a variety of downhole tasks. Coiled tubing’s flexibility allows it to be steered through horizontal wellbores, while also being strong enough to convey tools or motors at the end of the tube. The hollow tube can convey fluid which powers a motor or may be needed to clean out a wellbore. Coiled tubing units are effective over great distances making them ideal for completion activities in the U.S. domestic market, where lateral lengths have been increasing.

Cementing: 7.8% of 2024 Total Revenues

The process of cementing includes developing a cement slurry formulated for a well’s unique characteristics, pumping the cement through the wellbore and into the space between the well casing and well bore. The pumping assets used in deploying the cement are the same/similar to the equipment used in hydraulic fracturing, making these operations complementary to the company’s pressure pumping service line. The cement creates a barrier to protect the casing and prevent environmental contamination. In addition to completion uses, cementing can also be used to plug a well at the end of its life cycle. Effective July 1, 2023, the company acquired Spinnaker, a leading provider of oilfield cementing services in the Permian and Mid-Continent basins. The company’s cementing revenues increased during 2024 primarily due to the effect of owning Spinnaker for a full year.

Snubbing

Services involve using a hydraulic workover rig that permits an operator to repair damaged casing, production tubing and downhole production equipment while maintaining pressure on the well to minimize operational disruptions.

Nitrogen

Both oilfield customers and industrial users outside of the oilfield use these services to, for example, clean drilling and production pipe or purge non-oilfield industrial pipelines.

Well Control

Services include responding to and controlling oil and gas well emergencies, including blowouts and well fires, as well as supply the equipment, expertise and personnel necessary to restore affected oil and gas wells to production so that drilling operations can resume as promptly as safety permits.

Wireline

Services involve unwinding and lowering a spooled wire into a well, conveying various types of tools or equipment. Slick or braided lines are non-conductive and primarily for jarring objects into or out of a well, as in fishing or plug-setting operations. Electric lines carry a conductor line into a well allowing the use of electrically-operated tools such as perforators and bridge plugs. Wireline services can also be an integral part of the plug and abandonment process near the end of the life cycle of a well.

Support Services Segment

Rental Tools: 4.6% of 2024 Total Revenues

The company rents specialized equipment for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well completion, drilling and workover activities. The company offers a broad range of rental tools, including drill pipe and associated handling tools, blowout preventers and a variety of tool assemblages that provide well control. The equipment needed is in large part determined by the geological features of the production zone and the size of the well. Given the potentially significant range of equipment needs, operators and drilling contractors often find it more economical to supplement their tool and tubular assets with rental items instead of owning a complete set of assets.

Oilfield Pipe Inspection Services, Pipe Management and Pipe Storage

The company provides in-house inspection services, inventory management and process control of tubing, casing and drill pipe for major oil companies and pipe producers.

Well Control School

Provides industry and government accredited training for the oil and gas industry, delivering various formats, including conventional classroom training and interactive online training.

Customers

RPC’s principal customers consist of major and independent oil and natural gas producing companies and can range in size from small and independent E&Ps to large (often public) integrated E&Ps. Smaller customers, often referred to as ‘spot’ or ‘semi-dedicated’ are generally less consistent in terms of demand for services but can increase their activities significantly during upcycles. These customers also often rely on OFS companies to provide materials, logistical support and expertise. These customers are typically highly price-sensitive and generally less focused on new equipment and ESG-related trends. Large customers have scale and often contract with OFS companies for ‘dedicated’ fleets and offer more consistent demand and visibility. Their scale also means they can build their own infrastructure for power and water, acquire and develop high quality acreage due to access to capital, and invest in new technologies (both equipment and IT). RPC’s pressure pumping business is oriented toward spot and semi-dedicated customers in the Permian basin, while other service lines, such as downhole tools, cementing, coiled tubing and rental tools service both large and small customers across several major U.S. oil and gas basins.

Sales are generated by RPC’s business unit specific sales forces and through referrals from existing customers.

One of the company’s customers, a private E&P company, accounted for approximately 13% of the company’s revenues in 2024. Amounts for customers that exceeded 10% of the company’s revenues in 2024 were primarily associated with the company’s Technical Services segment. Substantially all of the company’s customers operate in the energy industry.

Industry Overview

RPC provides its services primarily to domestic customers through a network of facilities strategically located to serve oil and gas drilling and production activities of its customers in Texas, the mid-continent, the southwest, the Gulf of America, the Rocky Mountain and the Appalachian regions.

Since the majority of RPC’s services are utilized at the completion stage of an oil or gas well’s life cycle, the company closely monitors well completion trends in the U.S. domestic oilfield.
