Corporate Overview Appalachia Southwest Gulf Coast (1) Pro forma year-end 2006 to include the 2007 acquisitions and divestitures Market Cap ~ $5.0+ billion Reserve base (1) 1.9 Tcfe 82% natural gas 17 year reserve life Operations 2007 - 1,003 (757 net) wells Average ~ 39 rigs drilling Large acreage and drilling inventory (1) 3.3 million acres (2.5 million net) 10,500+ drilling projects in inventory |
Key Value Drivers Proven Track Record Consistent record of growth at "top quartile" cost structure Built-In Growth Large, multi-year inventory of lower risk drilling projects drives built-in "double digit" growth profile Additional Upside Exciting portfolio of emerging plays provides additional near-term upside that could dramatically increase Range's value Strong Financial Position Strong, simple balance sheet with attractive hedges in place |
2007 Year-to-Date Scorecard Drilling program off to a terrific start 1Q '07 production of 306 Mmcfe/d was 19% higher than 1Q '06 Beat guidance by 9 Mmcfe/d 2 Divestitures Sold short life, high cost, mature properties for $237 million Sold at outstanding price 3 Acquisitions Buying incremental interests in existing properties for $374 million High quality, long life, low cost properties with sizeable upside potential Balance sheet strengthened 7 million share stock offering priced Debt to cap ratio at 39% with over-allotment Result = A Better, More Valuable Range |
2007 Divestitures Austin Chalk Divestiture Sold in February 2007 for $82 million Properties acquired from Stroud in mid-2006 Properties were determined not strategic to Range and classified as "held for sale" Reserve and operations excluded from Range's continuing operations Gulf of Mexico Divestiture Sold in March 2007 for $155 million Proved reserves of 38.6 Bcfe Lost 16 Mmcfe/d production beginning April 1 |
2007 Acquisitions Tonkawa Acquisition $30 million; closed in February 2007 Purchased minority owner's interest in the Tonkawa oil field Range now owns 100% working interest Southern Tarrant County Barnett Shale Acquisition $29 million; closed in April 2007 Purchased minority owner's interest in the Barnett Shale play Range now owns 100% working interest Nora Field Acquisition $315 million; scheduled to close in May 2007 Purchasing incremental interests in the Nora Field in Virginia Joint development plan will accelerate drilling |
2007 Acquisition Summary $374 million in total for the 3 acquisitions - $321 million for the reserves and acreage - $53 million for the Nora Field gathering system Proved reserves of 151 Bcfe $2.12/mcfe acquisition price(1) Currently producing 17 Mmcfe/day - - 90% natural gas (1) Excluding gathering system which has its own cash flow stream |
Strong, Simple Balance Sheet Year-End 2005 Year-End 2006 Estimated 3/31/07 Estimated As Adjusted 3/31/07 ($ in millions) Bank borrowings $ 269 $ 452 $ 537 $ 417 (1) Sr. Sub.

The Nora acquisition is expected to close in May 2007 and the equity offering is scheduled to close in late April 2007. Liquidity is calculated by subtracting outstanding bank borrowings from the availability under the bank credit facility during each period. Strong liquidity position Target debt-to-cap of 40% reached |

Statements concerning future capital expenditures, production volumes, reserve volumes, reserve values, reserve potential, number of development and exploration projects, finding costs, operating costs, overhead costs, cash flow and earnings are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on assumptions concerning commodity prices, recompletions and drilling results, lease operating expenses, administrative expenses, interest and other financing costs that management believes are reasonable based on currently available information; however, management's assumptions and the Company's future performance are both subject to a wide range of business risks and there is no assurance that these results, goals and projections can or will be met. This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation and calculation schedules for the non-GAAP financial measures can be found on our website at www.rangeresources.com. The SEC has generally permitted oil and gas companies, in their filings made with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation test to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use the terms reserve "potential" or "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC's guidelines may prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company.
