Range has updated its investor presentation with expected well economics, rates of return and other operational information. Please see www.rangeresources.com under the "Investors" tab, "Company Presentations" area, for the presentation entitled, "Company Presentation -
Range has developed tremendous improvements in capital efficiencies over the last four years as lateral lengths increased and completion techniques have been optimized. These improvements, combined with the added benefit of lower service costs, have lowered well cost per lateral foot about 60% in the Marcellus over that time frame. In addition to these industry leading well costs, Range also has some of the highest estimated ultimate recoveries (EUR) on a normalized basis (per 1,000 feet of lateral), as shown in the chart below.

Southern Marcellus Shale Division --
Production for the second quarter averaged 963 net Mmcfe per day for the division, a 35% increase over the prior year. The division's second quarter net production included 585 Mmcf per day of gas, 53,238 barrels per day of NGLs and 9,807 barrels per day of condensate. During the second quarter, 41 wells were turned in line in southwest

During the second quarter, Range continued to realize operational efficiencies by averaging 6.3 frac stages per day which was up 21% compared to the 2014 average of 5.2 frac stages per day. Drilling efficiencies also continued in the second quarter as Range drilled an average lateral length of 5,938 feet in 15 days. This was a 13% decrease in days while drilling a 21% longer lateral compared to 2014 (17.2 days to drill 4,915 feet).
Northern Marcellus Shale Division --

Southern Appalachia Division --
Production for the second quarter averaged 109 net Mmcf per day for the division, a 42% increase over the prior year, primarily due to the increased volumes resulting from the Nora/Conger exchange with EQT, completed in

Marcellus Shale Marketing and Transportation Update --
One of the most impactful changes in Range's marketing portfolio for the near term is the anticipated startup of the Mariner East I project to the
Historically, pricing for Appalachian NGLs is lower in the summer months, as demand for summer propane is largely driven by storage needs, rather than heating demand. This summer has been no exception as netback prices for local Appalachian NGLs have been challenged. During summer months, Appalachian NGL products are transported further from the wellhead to reach incremental demand sales points. The increased cost of transport and lower gross sale prices are reflected in Range's pre-hedge NGL pricing of
Mariner East I is an ethane/propane pipeline that transports NGL products from southwest
While the commencement of Mariner East I is expected to have a major impact on Range's net propane price, it will also add another outlet to Range's diversified ethane sales contract portfolio. Range expects that the optionality within its total ethane sales portfolio will improve the ability to consistently flow ethane production at the highest realizations available to any domestic producer. The Company's ethane contracts are expected to yield a sizeable uplift in revenue when compared to leaving ethane in the gas stream.
In addition to moving NGL production to better markets at lower costs with the commissioning of Mariner East I, Range is anticipating another tranche of natural gas transportation to come into service on

Guidance for 2015 Activity:
Updated well economics can be found in the latest Company Presentation, located on the Range website at www.rangeresources.com. Average lateral lengths for Marcellus wells in 2015 are still expected to increase compared to 2014, averaging over 6,000 feet.
Under the current projection, Range expects to turn in line approximately 169 wells during 2015, as shown below. The number of wells expected to be turned in line has increased slightly during the year as cost savings have allowed additional wells to be completed, offset by the reduction in NGLs from Mariner East I not commencing operations in July as we originally expected. Additional dry gas production has replaced the expected additional NGL production.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Adjusted net income comparable to analysts' estimates as set forth in this release represents income or loss from operations before income taxes adjusted for certain non-cash items (detailed in the accompanying table) less income taxes. We believe adjusted net income comparable to analysts' estimates is calculated on the same basis as analysts' estimates and that many investors use this published research in making investment decisions and in evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other oil and gas producing companies. Diluted earnings per share (adjusted) as set forth in this release represents adjusted net income comparable to analysts' estimates on a diluted per share basis. A table is included which reconciles income or loss from operations to adjusted net income comparable to analysts' estimates and diluted earnings per share (adjusted). On its website, the Company provides additional comparative information on prior periods along with non-GAAP revenue disclosures.
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital (sometimes referred to as "adjusted cash flow") as defined in this release represents net cash provided by operations before changes in working capital and exploration expense adjusted for certain non-cash compensation items. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital is widely accepted by the investment community as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company's ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service debt. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital is also useful because it is widely used by professional research analysts in valuing, comparing, rating and providing investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. In turn, many investors use this published research in making investment decisions. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. A table is included which reconciles Net cash provided by operations to Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital as used in this release. On its website, the Company provides additional comparative information on prior periods for cash flow, cash margins and non-GAAP earnings as used in this release.
The cash prices realized for oil and natural gas production including the amounts realized on cash-settled derivatives and net of transportation, gathering and compression expense is a critical component in the Company's performance tracked by investors and professional research analysts in valuing, comparing, rating and providing investment recommendations and forecasts of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. In turn, many investors use this published research in making investment decisions. Due to the GAAP disclosures of various derivative transactions and third party transportation, gathering and compression expense, such information is now reported in various lines of the income statement. The Company believes that it is important to furnish a table reflecting the details of the various components of each income statement line to better inform the reader of the details of each amount and provide a summary of the realized cash-settled amounts and third party transportation, gathering and compression expense which historically were reported as natural gas, NGLs and oil sales. This information will serve to bridge the gap between various readers' understanding and fully disclose the information needed.
The Company discloses in this release the detailed components of many of the single line items shown in the unaudited GAAP financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company believes that it is important to furnish this detail of the various components comprising each line of the Statements of Operations to better inform the reader of the details of each amount, the changes between periods and the effect on its financial results.
All statements, except for statements of historical fact, made in 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 liquidity, production growth, completion of ethane projects, estimated gas in place, future rates of return, future low costs, low reinvestment risk, future earnings and per-share value, future capital spending plans, increasing capital efficiency, well-positioned, continued utilization of existing infrastructure, gas marketability, maximized realized natural gas prices, acreage quality, access to multiple gas markets, expected drilling and development plans, improved capital efficiency, future financial position, future technical improvements, future marketing opportunities, future market improvements, maximizing future rates of return, strong inventory of uncompleted wells, expectation to create future value, expected lower well costs, acreage prospective for other horizons and future guidance information are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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, including, but not limited to, the volatility of oil and gas prices, the results of our hedging transactions, the costs and results of actual drilling and operations, the timing of production, mechanical and other inherent risks associated with oil and gas production, weather, the availability of drilling equipment, changes in interest rates, litigation, uncertainties about reserve estimates, environmental risks and regulatory changes. Range undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Further information on risks and uncertainties is available in Range's filings with the
The
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.
