statements include, but are not limited to, the volatility of commodity prices, product supply and demand, competition, access to and cost of

capital, uncertainties about estimates of reserves and resource potential and the ability to add proved reserves in the future, the assumptions

underlying production forecasts, the quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate

change, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or action, the costs and

results of drilling and operations, the availability of equipment, services, resources and personnel required to complete the Company’s

operating activities, access to and availability of transportation, processing and refining facilities, the financial strength of counterparties to

Acquisitions Increase RSP’s Drilling Inventory in Core of Midland Basin

Midland Basin Acquisitions Acquisitions Map

In Q1 2014, RSP completed $79 million of acquisitions adding 5,316 net acres and > 280 horizontal locations and >150 vertical locations based on 20-acre spacing

In July 2014, RSP entered into agreements to purchase primarily undeveloped acreage in Glasscock County for an aggregate price of ~$259 million

7,680 gross / 6,652 net surface acres

21,440 gross / 19,367 net effective horizontal acres

188 gross / 156 net horizontal locations with average lateral length >6,500’

316 gross / 264 net vertical locations on 20-acre spacing

Current net production of approximately 1,106 Boe/d (74% liquids) with only 13 vertical wells drilled to date

Net proved reserves of 22 MMBoe (9% developed)(1)

The July pending acquisitions are a significant bolt-on to RSP’s existing Glasscock acreage position, adding another primary operating area in the core of the Midland Basin

Current Activity – Focused on Capital EfficiencyOperations Update

Currently operating two vertical rigs

Currently operating four horizontal rigs (4th operated horizontal rig arrived in April 2014)

Two pilot wells in Dawson scheduled for first production in Q3

Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp B wells are in early flow-back stage

Six “dual well/dual zone” pads on production

Six “dual well/dual zone” pads currently drilling or completing

During remainder of 2014, all horizontal rigs will be drilling on multi-well/multi-zone pads

~90% will be long horizontals

Lower Spraberry wells and short (~5,000’) lateral Wolfcamp B wells significantly outperforming expectations

Updated type curves and reduced capital have increased expected IRR’s

Accelerating Production Growth Through Horizontal Program RSP has grown production at a >70% CAGR since its inception, excluding sales and acquisitions RSP’s horizontal focus is driving recent production growth and future anticipated increases Although RSP is currently running four horizontal rigs, production from 3rd horizontal rig only recently began and

production from 4th horizontal rig will arrive in Q3 2014 RSP plans to bring in a 5th horizontal rig at the end of 2014 and a 6th horizontal rig in Q1 2015

• Adding a 5th & 6th Hz rig at the end of 2014 and Q1 2015

• Anticipating ~25 Hz Completions in 2H 2014

Large, Concentrated Acreage Blocks Provide Operating Advantages Large, Concentrated Acreage Blocks Map of Focus Areas

RSP leasehold positioned for horizontal development

North to South blocked-up position, which lays out ideally for horizontal drilling, given desired frac planes

Ability to drill long horizontal wells without having to rely on participation by industry players

Ability to drive down costs:

Sharing infrastructure and other critical drilling resources (water, disposal) across leasehold

Rig efficiencies of staying in one location to execute pad drilling on multi-zone horizontal development

Average lateral length of our target horizontal locations is ~6,700 ft (>70% will be long laterals)

Vast majority of operated horizontal wells to date have been drilled on multi-well pads

Spraberry Potential Provides Additional Upside Leader in the Spraberry Substantial Horizontal Spraberry Inventory - Net Locations

RSP was the first operator to drill horizontal Lower Spraberry and horizontal Middle Spraberry

Early results point to economics as strong as Wolfcamp B

Lower D&C costs

Lower IP rates offset by shallower declines

Approximately 1/2 of RSP’s capex budget directed at horizontal Spraberry development (Middle Spraberry, Lower Spraberry)

RSP’s executive team has decades of experience in identifying acquisition targets and evaluating resource potential

Spanish Trail, East Cowden, Verde, Dude and pending Glasscock acquisitions totaling almost $500 million in the last year are the most recent examples

Strategically pursue acquisition opportunities with oil-weighted potential

31

Identified Opportunities for Future Upside

Pad drilling = efficiency and lower costs

Several “stacked” 2 well pads currently producing; now moving to 4 “stacked” well pads on certain leases

RSP continuously evaluates and tests new technology

Currently utilizing cutting edge drilling techniques

3D seismic further delineates RSP’s stacked pay zones

Well cost efficiencies realized through RSP’s operatorship of 95% of its net acreage

Continuously improve drilling techniques, completion methodologies and reservoir evaluation processes

Strategic Acquisitions

New Technology

Multi-Zone Pad Drilling

Well Cost Efficiencies

Increased Economics/ Locations

RSP’s well costs are decreasing and IP rates outperforming type curves, leading to increasing economics

RSP evaluating increasing lateral density and drilling more laterals per section, increasing locations

Additional Disclosures

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry

analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion

and amortization, exploration expense, (gains) losses on derivative instruments excluding net cash receipts (payments) on settled derivative instruments and

premiums paid for put options that settled during the period, impairment of oil and natural gas properties, non-cash equity based compensation, asset retirement

obligation accretion expense, other income, gains and losses from the sale of assets and other non-cash operating items. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net

income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’).

Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it allows it to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our

operations from period to period and against our peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net

income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting

methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered as an

alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain

items excluded from Adjusted EBITDAX are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost

of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDAX. Our presentation of Adjusted

EBITDAX should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDAX

may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Certain Reserve Information

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors: The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other

than “reserves,” as that term is defined by the SEC. This presentation discloses estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as “resource

potential,” “net recoverable resource potential,” “resource base,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms

include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit

the Company from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are

subject to substantially greater risk of being recovered by the Company. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in the Company’s periodic

filings with the SEC. Such filings are available from the Company at 3141 Hood Street, Suite 500, Dallas, Texas 75219, Attention: Investor Relations, and the

Company’s website at www.rsppermian.com. These filings also can be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
