UPDATE ON TEXAS - RUSSEL BEVLY

International oil and gas exploration, development and production company,
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that
production on the Russell Bevly # 1 well has begun to stabilize following the
successful fracture stimulation of the lower two zones. The production rates
being achieved are consistent will the targeted rate of 4 MMcfd & 320bopd per
well, based on current production of approximately 1.9 MMcfd & 160 bopd from
the lower two zones. The upper two zones, which have a larger payzone, are
still on track to receive fracture stimulation later this month.

Executive Director Pete Landau added, "Results to date from the Russell-Bevly
frac job have provided encouragement for additional development drilling in the
field, which will continue with the drilling of the third well in the coming
months. Because North Chapman Ranch wells have a high condensate yield, Range
and its partners are able to capture currently high oil prices while remaining
positioned for the eventual rise in US natural gas prices."
