RANGE RESOURCES APPALACHIA
LLC

Range Resources
Corporation
was incorporated in Ohio in 1976 as
Lomak Petroleum Inc.
Lomak was acquired by Snyder
Oil Company
in 1988. In 1997 Lomak increased its Pennsylvania holdings, buying
properties from
Cabot Oil &
Gas Corporation.
Range Resources was created in 1998, the result of a merger between
Lomak Petroleum Inc. and
Domain Energy Corporation. In 1999, Range Resources formed
Great Lakes Energy Partners,
a joint venture with
FirstEnergy Corporation.
In
2004-2005, Fort Worth Texas based
Range Resources drilled the
first Marcellus Shale
gas wells. These three wells were located in
Washington County Pennsylvania.
Hence their nickname:
"The Mothers of Marcellus"
By the end of 2006,
Range had 314,00 acres leased in
the
Marcellus Shale
gas play
with 3 horizontal wells and 14 vertical wells already
drilled. Range Resources had plans for another
40 horizontal wells in 2008.
The Pittsburgh office at
Southpointe
opened in early 2007 with one former
Halliburton
employee, V.P. Ray Walker, Jr.
and has expanded to a 120 person operation, according to Range's early
2009 reports.
Range Resources is the third-largest natural gas driller in the US,
and the parent company of
Range Production Co.
Range Resources closed its Houston, Texas office Nov. 1, 2009.
