EXPLANATORY NOTE

We filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 on February 24, 2010 (the “Original Report”). We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) solely to revise Exhibit 99.3 to the Original Report as follows:

In the Original Report, the exhibit did not contain a statement including a specific reference to compliance with 1202(a)(9) of Regulation S-X. The exhibit in the Amendment includes such reference.

In the Original Report, the exhibit did not contain a statement indicating that Wright and Company used all methods and procedures they considered necessary under the circumstances to prepare the report. The exhibit in the Amendment includes such a reference.

The exhibit omitted relevant weighted average adjusted prices in the Original Report. The exhibit in this Amendment includes the requisite pricing information.

In the Original Report, Exhibit 99.3 omitted a statement that the third party engineer’s estimates and our estimates are within 1% of each other. The exhibit in this Amendment includes such a statement.

Exhibit 99.3 included a reference to “generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles” in the Original Report. This exhibit has been modified to delete this reference.

In the Original Report, the exhibit contained a statement limiting its use to Range Resources Corporation. The exhibit in the Amendment does not include any such limitation.

No other changes to the Original Report are included in this Amendment other than to provide currently dated consents of the engineering firm and certifications of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

This Amendment is being filed in response to comments we received from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the staff’s review of the Original Report. We have made no attempt in this Amendment to modify or update the disclosures presented in the Original Report other than as noted above. Also, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Report and our other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.
