About RPC INC

RPC, Inc. (ticker: RES) is a U.S.-based oilfield services company listed on the NYSE in the United States. Founded in 1984, it was originally organized as a holding company for several oilfield services businesses. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. For investors, RPC is best understood as a diversified provider of equipment-based and technically specialized services to oil and gas exploration, production, and development companies, with a clear focus on the U.S. land market. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/742278/000110465926021480/res-20251231x10k.htm?utm_source=openai)) RPC’s operations are organized primarily around Technical Services and Support Services. Technical Services is the core engine of the business and includes pressure pumping, coiled tubing, wireline, cementing, tool rental, and related completion/intervention services. Support Services provides complementary offerings that help round out the company’s market reach and operational footprint. This structure gives RPC exposure to multiple phases of the well lifecycle, while still tying performance closely to drilling and completion activity.

The company’s filings emphasize intense competition, a structurally oversupplied pressure pumping market, and the impact of changes in rig counts, customer capital spending, and commodity prices. At the same time, management has been pursuing a diversification strategy across service lines in order to reduce reliance on any single product category and improve resilience through the cycle.

Pintail is headquartered in Midland, Texas, and is described as a leading provider of oilfield wireline perforating services in the Permian Basin, with conventional and electric wireline units among the newest in the industry. Strategically, the deal strengthens RPC’s position in the most active oil-producing region in the U.S. land market and expands its technical service platform.

The company also expects international revenue to remain below 10% of consolidated revenue in the foreseeable future, underscoring its domestic orientation. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/742278/000155837025001922/res-20241231x10k.htm?utm_source=openai)) Recent disclosures point to improving top-line momentum in 2025, largely driven by the Pintail acquisition, although management continues to highlight weak pricing in pressure pumping and a still-challenging industry backdrop. For investors, RPC represents a leveraged play on U.S. oilfield activity, with a diversified service mix, a recent acquisition catalyst, and ongoing exposure to commodity-cycle volatility.
