    TRINIDAD UPDATE

    Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to
    provide the following update on its Trinidad operations, with the following
    highlights:

    - The QUN 142 well successfully reached target depth of 1,255 ft.
    and is currently producing 75 bopd;

    - The Upper Cruse zone in the QUN 135 well has been successfully perforated
    and will be put into production this week, after 72 hour flow test
    rates of up to 150 bopd. Middle Cruse zone will form part of larger
    development;

    - Three production rigs have been placed into operation and have completed
    remedial work on 14 wells, which has added an estimated 95 bopd to
    current production;

    - The QUN 141 has been successfully completed and as previously announced,
    the logs indicated 160 ft. of gross oil pay, one of the thickest
    Lower Forest pay sections to be encountered to date. The well has been
    perforated and production is anticipated at between 75-100 bopd;

    - Further production of 60 bopd is expected to be added this week through
    the planned work over of another 15 wells, followed by an estimated
    additional 90 bopd through the QUN 16 well re-entry and optimization of the
    QUN 120 & 128 wells over the coming weeks;

    - The QUN 143 and 144 wells spudded and are both drilling ahead with a target
    depth of 1000 ft. The wells are anticipated to perform at similar initial
    production rates of neighbouring Lower Forest wells between
    50-75 bopd;

    - MD 248 well drilled to 5,780 ft. encountering multiple high
    pressure oil and gas pays, and oil across the shakers; and

    - Production activities summarised above are expected to result in field
    production getting over 1,200 bopd with renewed momentum as Range
    continues with the implementation of its improved maintenance programmes and
    drilling inventory.

    Lower Forest Development Drilling

    The Lower Forest development continues to gain momentum with Rig 5
    recently completing the QUN 142 well. The well has been put onto production
    and is currently flowing at 75 bopd.

    The drilling of QUN 141 well has been successfully completed and as
    previously announced, e-logs indicated 160 ft. of gross oil pay, one of the
    thickest Lower Forest pay sections encountered to date. The well has been
    perforated with production commencing this week, which is anticipated to be in
    the vicinity of 75-100 bopd.

    The Company has also successfully spudded wells QUN 143 and 144
    using Rigs 5 and 1, respectively. Both wells will be drilled to their target
    depth of 1,000 ft. and are expected to perform at similar initial production
    rates of neighbouring Lower Forest wells between 50-75 bopd.

    Three production rigs have been placed into operation in the last
    two weeks and have completed remedial work on 14 wells, which has added
    approximately 95 bopd of production. A further 15 wells are planned to be
    worked over this week, adding an estimated 60 bopd.

    In the course of the coming weeks, the company will be performing
    optimization work on the QUN 120 & 128 wells, as well as QUN 16 well re-entry,
    which previously produced up to 145 bopd over a one week test. The QUN 16 well
    was drilled and tested in 1942 and logged thick oil sands that correlate with
    the Lower Forest reservoirs being developed by the Company approximately ½
    mile to the west. Re-activation of the QUN 16 well will be performed using one
    of the Company's production rigs. This will add new reserves and production,
    while further extending the Lower Forest trend to the east of the QUN 16 well
    and establishing a large area for low-risk infill drilling between the well
    and the current Lower Forest development.

    Middle Cruse Formation Drilling

    The Company has successfully perforated the Upper Cruse section of
    the QUN 135 well with tubing run and the well is currently being swabbed. The
    company expects to put the well into production this week with flow tests of
    up to 150 bopd. The Company is extremely encouraged by the results in the
    Upper Cruse zone of the QUN 135 well. Given timing and cost considerations, it
    was considered prudent to put the Upper Cruse zone on production and commence
    with drilling an adjacent well, which will target the same Middle Cruse
    structure from a nearby location and will have a similar profile to the QUN
    135 well. Further details on the planned well will be provided with the
    Company's next updates.

    Lower Cruse Formation Drilling

    The MD 248 well has been drilled to 5780 ft., encountering multiple
    high pressure oil and gas pays, which indicate the presence of productive oil
    sands, as well as multiple oil shows across the shakers. Shortly after
    encountering these hydrocarbon shows, challenging downhole conditions were
    encountered which resulted in Rig 8 having to undergo temporary maintenance
    work before continuing drilling to ensure the successful completion of the
    well.
