FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ---------------------

             RPC, INC. ANNOUNCES STOCK SPLIT AND INCREASED DIVIDEND
             ------------------------------------------------------

ATLANTA, January 25, 2005 -- RPC Incorporated (NYSE: RES) today announced that
its Board of Directors has approved a three-for-two split of the Company's
outstanding common stock. The split will be effected by issuing one additional
share of common stock for every two shares of common stock held. The additional
shares of common stock will be distributed on March 10, 2005 to holders of
record at the close of business on February 10, 2005. No fractional shares will
be issued. Fractional share amounts resulting from the split will be paid to
shareholders in cash.

The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly dividend increase of 100
percent to $0.06 per share payable March 10, 2005 to common shareholders of
record at the close of business on February 10, 2005. The cash dividend that was
declared today will be paid on pre-split shares.

Richard A. Hubbell, RPC's Chief Executive Officer, stated, " We believe that
increasing the dividend and splitting the stock are not only a way to reward out
current stockholders, but may also increase the liquidity and investment appeal
of RPC's stock."

RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services and equipment
primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the
exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the
United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest and Rocky
Mountain regions, and in selected international markets. RPC's oil and gas
services operating business units include Cudd Pressure Control, Patterson
Services and Bronco Oilfield Services. RPC's investor Web site can be found on
