Forward guidance
RPC anticipates potential activity increases in the second half of 2024 if oil prices remain favorable and expects demand tailwinds from E&P consolidation and asset divestitures. The company plans to deploy a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet and continue strategic investments and acquisitions.
Tailwinds
- Optimistic that if current oil price momentum holds, our customers would steadily increase activity in the second half of 2024.
- Belief that as large E&P consolidation transactions close and non-core assets are potentially divested, development of this acreage could provide demand tailwinds.
- Plans to place a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet in service mid-year 2024.
- Commitment to ongoing upgrades to meet customer demand for high-quality equipment.
- Committed to continue long-term strategic investments in the business and evaluating potential acquisitions to increase our scale, strengthen service lines, and grow our customer relationships.
Headwinds
- The price of oil and natural gas and overall performance of the U.S. economy can impact capital spending by our customers and demand for our services.
- Business interruptions due to adverse weather conditions.
- Changes in the competitive environment of our industry.
- Our ability to identify and complete acquisitions.
- Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected are contained in RPC’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
