FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

            RPC, INC. ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF ITS REVOLVING CREDIT
                        FACILITY TO FUND EXPANSION PLANS

ATLANTA, September 14, 2006 -- RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) announced today it has
closed on a revolving credit facility to support its previously announced
long-term growth plan and higher capital expenditures in 2006 through 2008. The
Company plans approximately $700 million in capital expenditures during this
three-year period, although the final amount of capital expenditures will depend
on future market conditions for RPC's services and other factors. RPC's growth
plan will take advantage of opportunities in the domestic oilfield for its
largest and most profitable service lines, and to provide for selective
geographic expansion of its current domestic service areas.

The syndicated credit facility was arranged by SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. as
joint lead arranger and sole book manager, and Banc of America Securities LLC,
as joint lead arranger. The five-year facility provides for up to $250 million
in borrowings, and allows principal repayments throughout the term without
penalties. The interest rate floats based on current market rates and selected
RPC financial ratios. The company intends to repay the principal amount of the
credit facility within three years using cash flow from operations.

Richard A. Hubbell, RPC's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are
pleased with the financial community's reception to our expansion plans, and
look forward to working with this group of banks during the coming years. All of
the indicators of our business are still as favorable as they were when we
announced this plan in late July. We believe that the equipment we have ordered
will be delivered on time, and our selective geographic expansion and other
elements of our long-term growth plan are continuing. Although RPC has not
traditionally financed its operations with debt, we expect to maintain a
conservative capital structure and look forward to becoming a larger, more
profitable company."

Certain statements and information included in this press release constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include
statements regarding RPC's expected activity and performance in the future, such
as its plans for long-term growth and higher capital expenditures, the
availability of opportunities in its domestic oilfield service lines, its plans
for geographic expansion, the ability to purchase and place in service large
amounts of new equipment, delivery times for such equipment, the ability to
repay the principal amount of the credit facility within three years, and its
expectations of a larger, more profitable company. These statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in
such forward-looking statements. Such risks include the possibility of declines
in the price of oil and natural gas, which tend to result in a decrease in
drilling activity and therefore a decline in the demand for our services, market
interest rates, our ability to hedge against fluctuations in interest rates, the
ability to purchase large amounts of equipment and successfully place such
equipment in service, adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing
regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, and competition in the oil and gas
industry. Additional discussion of factors that could cause the actual results
to differ materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and
expectations is contained in RPC's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2005.
