Overview:
RPC, Inc. is a mid-tier oilfield services company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, operating primarily in the United States with a focus on the Permian Basin, mid-continent, and Gulf Coast regions. The company's portfolio of services is divided into Technical Services and Support Services. Technical Services, which account for the vast majority of revenue, include pressure pumping, downhole tools, wireline, coiled tubing, and cementing. Support Services include rental tools, pipe inspection, and well control training. The business model focuses on providing specialized equipment, personnel, and materials directly to the well site for completion, production, and maintenance activities. A key competitive aspect is the ability to provide high-quality, well-maintained equipment, including Tier 4 dual-fuel frac fleets, and proprietary downhole tools. The business is subject to the cyclical nature of oil and natural gas prices and the capital spending decisions of exploration and production companies.
Strategy:
Strategic focus centers on delivering world-class oilfield services while exercising capital discipline and maintaining a flexible cost structure. The enterprise intends to pursue organic growth and strategic acquisitions to increase scale, diversify product offerings, and expand its customer base. Capital allocation is prioritized toward capitalized maintenance of existing equipment, upgrading technologies such as transitioning to lower-emission dual-fuel assets, and implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning system. The organization's approach involves optimizing asset utilization to leverage costs and avoiding low-return projects. The company also aims to develop new proprietary products, such as high-performance downhole motors and alternative bridge plug solutions, to differentiate itself in the marketplace.
Management:
Executive leadership is headed by President and CEO Ben M. Palmer. The Board of Directors includes Timothy C. Rollins and Amy Rollins Kreisler, who, along with their affiliates, control in excess of 50% of the company's voting power, making RPC a Controlled Corporation under NYSE rules. The executive officers are also employees of Marine Products Corporation. Governance practices include a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and the Board oversees risk management through the Audit Committee, which monitors cybersecurity and information security frameworks.
Sustainability:
The organization's sustainability framework includes a commitment to workplace inclusion, diversity, and equality, actively recruiting recently discharged military personnel. Environmental initiatives focus on upgrading pressure pumping equipment to Tier 4 dynamic gas blending (dual-fuel) engines to reduce harmful emissions and meet customer preferences for lower-emission operations. Social programs include a college scholarship program for the children of employees, which has invested more than $1.5 million to support hundreds of students. The company adheres to a comprehensive safety program, making technology and process investments to reduce the number of employees on active job locations, thereby minimizing exposure to safety hazards.
Structure:
A significant structural element is the controlling interest held by the Controlling Group, which includes LOR, Inc., directors Timothy C. Rollins and Amy Rollins Kreisler, and their affiliates, holding approximately 61% of outstanding shares. Corporate development was shaped by the April 2025 acquisition of Pintail Alternative Energy, L.L.C., a provider of wireline perforating services in the Permian Basin, for $170 million in cash, $25 million in stock consideration, and a $50 million secured seller note. The corporate structure includes material operational subsidiaries such as Cudd Energy Services, Cudd Pressure Control, Thru Tubing Solutions, Pintail Completions, and Patterson Services. A Transition Support Services agreement exists with Marine Products Corporation, under which RPC provides administrative and financial reporting services.
Hedge:
The company maintains an unhedged posture regarding commodity prices, as it does not produce oil or natural gas directly. No commodity, foreign-exchange, or interest-rate hedges were outstanding as of December 31, 2025. The company manages interest-rate exposure on its $100 million revolving credit facility and the $50 million Pintail seller note, both of which bear floating interest rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), without the use of derivative instruments.

RPC, Inc. - 10-K Filing - 2025
- The tables below list unit codes most often used in the Oil & Gas sector for this company. MetalPilot stores contained metal or product in the codes below; grade and tonnage use separate fields. In side-by-side comparison views (stock page Portfolio tab, watchlist By sector), heterogeneous source units are converted to each commodity's preferred display unit (for example Moz Au, kt Cu, MMbbl oil) before summing; the same canonical codes appear in project data.
- The Portfolio tab presents a project-level view of the company's reported assets, built from publicly disclosed information (technical reports, annual filings, MD&A, investor presentations, MRMR / R&R statements, NI 43-101 / NI 51-101 / SEC S-K 1300 / SEC S-K 1200 / JORC / SAMREC / PERC / PRMS / COGEH filings, and similar primary sources).
- Figures are grouped by project type (mining, oil & gas, royalty, stream, processing facility, development, portfolio aggregate) and are shown alongside the headline reserve base, headline production, headline grade / quality, cost benchmarks, estimated lifetime, commercial terms (for royalties / streams), operational capacity (for processing) and a single-figure rating where the underlying data supports one.
- Each data table on the Portfolio tab is followed by ONE Assumptions footnote describing the modelling choices for that table; KPI stat-card assumptions appear in the bottom block instead. All legal and section disclaimers are merged into a single disclaimer list at the bottom of the Portfolio tab.
- 1P/2P/3P — cumulative uncertainty. 1P = Proved (≥90%); 2P = Proved+Probable (≥50%, primary non-SEC metric); 3P adds Possible (≥10%). SEC filers often publish 1P only.
- Contingent (1C/2C/3C) = discovered, sub-commercial. Prospective (1U/2U/3U) = undiscovered. Neither feeds economic models without further work.
- Developed vs Undeveloped: PDP (producing), PDNP (developed non-producing), PUD (undeveloped). Reserves walk PUD→PDP is reclassification, not new discovery.
- BOE uses 6 Mcf gas : 1 bbl oil (thermal, not economic). Some issuers use 5.8:1 — read footnotes.
- Pricing case: Forecast vs Constant (NI 51-101/PRMS) or SEC 12-month average. Do not add cases together.
- Portfolio KPIs — company-level headline numbers aggregated from the featured projects (project counts, attributable annual production by commodity, attributable resource base by commodity, last filing date, operator share). USD value lines multiply attributable volumes by the resolved snapshot price.
- Portfolio snapshot — one-screen summary of the portfolio: counts by type and status, country mix, reporting standards used, operator share, primary commodity, attributable annual production summary and attributable resource base summary.
- Oil & Gas — one row per O&G project (typically a field, licence, play or basin asset), with columns for location, status, primary hydrocarbons, production (with rating), reserves & resources (with rating), costs and estimated lifetime.
- Royalty — one row per royalty interest held by the company. Columns cover the underlying project, operator, commodity, commercial terms (rate, type, cap, area-of-interest), attributable production, attributable reserves and estimated lifetime.
- Stream — one row per metal stream held by the company. Each row shows the underlying project, the streamed commodity, the headline stream percentage, the ongoing per-ounce / per-tonne payment, and attributable production / reserves.
- Processing facilities — one row per midstream / processing facility (pipeline, fractionator, LNG train, storage cavern, refinery, smelter, mill, heap-leach pad, CPP, etc.). Columns include nameplate capacity, contracted capacity, feedstock commodities and operational footprint.
- Development — projects in development status or in a pre-production lifecycle phase. The production column is re-labelled 'Targeted production (rating)' to highlight that the figures are plans, not actuals.
- Portfolio Aggregate — a single company-level row used when the company itself publishes a portfolio rollup (e.g. company-wide 2P barrels across all properties).
- Reserves & resources — detail — a leaf-category pivot showing every reserve and resource category disclosed across the projects.
- Reserves walk — gross (disclosed) — year-by-year reconciliation of the opening balance to the closing balance, broken into Extensions & discoveries, Revisions, Improved recovery, Purchases, Divestitures, Production and Conversion to developed.
- Reserves walk — net change by year — per-year summary of net additions and net deductions across the portfolio.
- NPV (grouped) — all NPV rows captured from the filings, grouped by commodity, resource category, development status and pricing case. Each NPV figure is shown with its discount rate, basis (before-tax / after-tax), currency and value scale.
- Ownership percentage means the company's working-interest share of the asset: its slice of the project before royalties and before government take. It is shown on a 0–100 scale.
- Mines, oil and gas fields, and processing facilities — this is how much of the asset belongs to the company under that working-interest idea. One hundred percent is fully owned; a lower number usually means partners share the rest.
- Royalties and streaming agreements — the percentage is often not the story; what matters economically is usually the royalty or stream rate, shown elsewhere alongside these figures.
- Oil and gas — read this as gross working interest only. Do not treat it as net production or net wells after royalties; when filings distinguish gross from net, that shows up in how the resource numbers themselves are labelled.
- Below 100% — the short summary for each project names other owners and their stakes when the source says who they are.
- NRI vs WI (O&G). Working interest (WI) is the obligation to pay a share of costs; net revenue interest (NRI) is the share of revenue after royalties and overriding-royalty interests. A 100% WI well rarely produces 100% NRI; typical onshore U.S. NRI is 75–87.5% of WI depending on the lease royalty.
- Operator vs non-operator. The operator runs day-to-day operations; non-operating partners pay their WI share of costs but do not run the asset. Some Portfolio rows show operator share where disclosed.
Oil equivalent (BOE)
Oil equivalent (BOE)

See commodity documentation in the domain package.
Oil
Generic crude (undifferentiated)
WTI
Use West Texas Intermediate directly as a coarse benchmark when the filing does not split product quality.
Natural gas
Pipeline natural gas
Henry Hub
Henry Hub is the reference US benchmark for US pipeline gas; use it directly when the disclosure is Hub-indexed.
NGL
NGL barrel (mixed NGLs)
Mont Belvieu NGL basket vs WTI
NGL barrels often track a fraction of crude; order-of-magnitude context is commonly cited around two-fifths to three-fifths of WTI.
Shale gas
Gas from shale / tight reservoirs
Henry Hub plus regional basis
Regional hubs price as Henry Hub plus or minus basis; shale supply broke tight coupling to oil, so do not back-solve shale gas from WTI.
Light oil
Light sweet crude
WTI / Brent
WTI and Brent are often treated as roughly 1:1 for light sweet barrels when a single anchor is enough.
Heavy oil
Heavy sour crude
WCS vs WTI
Western Canadian Select–style heavy blends often trade on the order of $10–20/bbl below WTI when differentials are in a normal range.
Bitumen
Oil-sands bitumen blend
WCS vs WTI
Same broad idea as heavy oil: bitumen blends anchor to wide differentials versus light sweet benchmarks such as WTI.
Synthetic crude
Upgraded oil-sands synthetic crude (SCO)
SCO vs WTI
Synthetic crude typically tracks WTI within a few dollars — sometimes near par, sometimes a small premium or discount.
Condensate
Field condensate / diluent
US condensate vs WTI
Field condensate can trade below WTI; some multi-year averages have been in the high single-digit dollars per barrel under WTI.
Coal bed methane
Coalbed methane (CBM)
Regional hub vs Henry Hub
CBM is usually quoted off a regional benchmark versus Henry Hub; it is a distinct product stream from tight shale gas in many filings.
- The Commodity column shows normalized labels; values are stored as snake_case CommodityCode strings in pkg/domain and project resource rows (for example shale_gas, oil_equivalent).
- Benchmarks and typical relationship cells are informal market context for reading disclosures — they are not MetalPilot price inputs.
- API gravity — lower = heavier. Light crude is ≥ 31.1° API (≤ 870 kg/m³); heavy is 22.3–31.1° API; extra-heavy is < 22.3°. Bitumen is ≤ 10° API.
- Sulphur — sweet vs sour. Sweet crude has ≤ 0.5% sulphur; sour > 0.5%. Refineries price the discount on sour crude into the differential.
- WTI vs Brent vs WCS. WTI (West Texas Intermediate, Cushing OK) is the U.S. light-sweet benchmark; Brent (North Sea) is the global light-sweet benchmark; WCS (Western Canadian Select) is the heavy/sour benchmark for Canadian production.

Other
Other / nonstandard
Verbatim source label; pair with commodity and original_classification when the unit is not yet mapped.
- Compound product names (LCE, U₃O₈, V₂O₅, Li₂O) belong on the commodity field, not inside contained_unit. Example: "kt LCE" → unit kt with commodity LCE; "Mlb U₃O₈" → unit mlb with commodity U3O8.
- In oilfield shorthand, M often means thousand and MM means million (e.g. mcf = thousand cubic feet; mmcf = million cubic feet). Metric codes (Mt, Moz, Mlb) always use M = million — context decides.
- The schema may also carry cpht on resource rows for diamond recovered grade; the same symbol is listed under Grade units.
- This tab highlights sector-typical units; the schema and importers still accept the full contained_unit enum from the domain package.
Percent (%)
Percent (%)
Generic grade when the payable element is obvious from the commodity column (e.g. Fe % in iron ore, Cu % in copper-only deposits). Use a specific unit (pctli2o, pctu3o8) when there is any ambiguity.
Other
Other / nonstandard
Source-specific grade; document the basis in original_classification or notes.
Btu/lb
BTU per pound (Btu/lb)
Natural-gas and thermal-coal heating value. Coal rank proxy (sub-bituminous ~8,000 Btu/lb; bituminous 11,000 – 14,000; anthracite >14,000).
- Use pctli2o and pctu3o8 when the source reports % Li₂O or % U₃O₈ explicitly; reserve generic percent for deposits where the payable metal is obvious from context.
- For ppm grades, the commodity column carries the element or compound (for example vanadium as V₂O₅) so the grade row stays unambiguous.
- Grade-on-grade conversions: 1 g/t ≈ 0.029 oz/short ton; 10,000 ppm = 1%; 10 kg/t = 1%; 1% U₃O₈ ≈ 0.848% U metal; 1% Li₂O ≈ 0.464% Li metal.
Metric tonne (t)
Metric tonne (1,000 kg)
Ore, waste, and plant throughput mass. Not the same as the U.S. short ton.
Thousand tonnes (kt)
Thousand metric tonnes
Base-metal deposits, coal seams at mine scale, fertilizers.
Million tonnes (Mt)
Million metric tonnes
Iron ore, coal, large porphyry tonnage. Metric Mt is always 10⁶ t (M = million in metric).
Cubic metre (m³)
Cubic metre (m³)
Brine cells, small heap-leach volumes.
Million cubic metres (Mm³)
Million cubic metres (Mm³)
Salar brine volumes, reservoir void space.
Cubic kilometre (km³)
Cubic kilometre (km³)
Basin-scale brine or aquifer models.
Acre-foot (ac-ft)
Acre-foot (~1,233 m³)
U.S. / South American brine and water-resource reporting.
- Tonnage and brine/reservoir volumes describe the orebody or fluid cell, not contained metal; contained metal is the product of tonnage × grade (with unit-aware conversions where needed).
- Brine and ISR deposits often report m³, Mm³, km³, or acre-feet instead of rock mass when the disclosure is volumetric.
- A short ton (US) is ~907 kg — about 7.4% less than a metric tonne. Legacy U.S. filings that report "Mt" of coal often mean Mst (million short tons).
- The conversions below appear regardless of sector — they are the ones readers most often need when reading a filing next to a table screenshot.
- Troy oz → Grams — × 31.1035 — precious-metal reserves use troy ounces.
- Avoirdupois oz → Grams — × 28.3495 — the everyday ounce; different unit from troy oz.
- Pound (lb) → Kilograms — × 0.45359 — avoirdupois pound.
- Short ton (st) → Metric tonnes (t) — × 0.90718 — a short ton is ~7.4% less than a metric tonne.
- g/t → oz / short ton — × 0.02917 — precious-metal grade conversion.
- ppm → % — × 10⁻⁴ — 10,000 ppm = 1%.
- kg / t → % — × 0.1 — 10 kg/t = 1%.
- Acre-foot → Cubic metres (m³) — × 1,233.5 — brine and water disclosures.
- Oil & gas conversions cover BOE thermal equivalence, volumetric crude conversions and the API-gravity / SG link.
- Mcf (gas) → Boe (energy) — × 1/6 — 6 Mcf gas ≈ 1 boe (thermal, not economic).
- Bbl → Cubic metres (m³) — × 0.15899 — 1 bbl ≈ 158.99 L.
- Tonnes LNG → Boe — × ~7.4 — thermal; varies with LNG composition.
- GJ → MMBtu — × 0.94782 — energy conversion.
- API gravity → Specific gravity — SG = 141.5 / (131.5 + API) — heavy < 22.3° API, light ≥ 31.1° API.
- Mcfe → MMboe → — — × 10⁻⁶ × (1/6) — combined-stream conversion.
- A 1 Bcm natural-gas reservoir is ≈ 35.3 Bcf ≈ 5.88 MMboe.
- Operating Cost / boe (O&G) — total operating expense ÷ boe produced; excludes royalties and taxes.
- Cash Cost / boe — operating cost / boe + transportation + production taxes / royalties.
- F&D Cost — Finding & Development cost per boe.
- Reserve Replacement Cost — capex (organic + acquisitions) per boe of reserves added.
- All cost metrics are non-GAAP and defined differently across companies; the same metric label may mean different things at different issuers.
- WI (×x%) — Working interest: disclosed gross value multiplied by ownership %. Applies to mining / O&G / processing-facility rows whose reporting_basis is gross or unset.
- Royalty (×r%) — Royalty / stream rate: gross property value multiplied by the headline interest rate (NSR %, stream %, …). Applies to royalty / stream rows on gross or unset reporting_basis with interest_rate set.
- Net (×1.0) — Disclosure is already net of royalties (reporting_basis = company_net_after_royalty). No further adjustment.
- Gross WI (×1.0) — Disclosure is already on a working-interest basis (reporting_basis = company_gross_wi). No further adjustment.
- Fully owned WI rows render as plain WI (no parenthetical). See METALPILOT Part 2 §3 (Ownership and reporting-basis attribution) and pkg/calc/attribution.go (EffectiveOwnershipMultiplier / EffectiveOwnershipAttribution).
- "M" can mean thousand or million depending on context. Oilfield convention uses M = thousand and MM = million (MMcf, MMbbl, MSTB). Metric codes (Mt, Moz, Mlb) always use M = million.
- Troy ounce ≠ avoirdupois ounce. 1 troy oz = 31.1035 g; the everyday ounce is 28.3495 g. Precious-metal reserves are always troy.
- Short ton ≠ metric tonne. A short ton (US) = 907 kg; a metric tonne = 1,000 kg. Reading legacy "1 Mt" coal as metric when it was short tons over-states tonnage by ~10%.
- Gross vs net. Gross is usually the 100% property number; net is usually working-interest share before royalties. Check reporting_basis.
- Inferred / Contingent / Prospective volumes are not bookable reserves and do not feed Portfolio economic figures.
