Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~25x leverage

2016 spending funded by cash and cash flow with exit leverage of ~30x

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~25x leverage

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Western Greene County Midstream Update

Development area located in western Greene County PA in the heart of the Marcellus dry gas core and the emerging super-deep dry gas Utica core

RMP will now gather all production above 40 MDthd

ndash Williams will provide Rice with gathering and compression services for the first ~40 MDthd of production from this area

Improvement to Ricersquos single well economicsndash ~45 increase in Marcellus PV10well(1) ~$7MM ~$10MMndash Rice also benefits economically from RMP distribution growth associated

with the organic growth opportunity

Strategically accretive to RMPndash Increases RMPrsquos acreage dedication from Rice Energy by 19000 Marcellus

acres (25 increase ~110 undeveloped net Marcellus wells) and 17000 Utica acres (~40 undeveloped Utica wells)

ndash RMP has acquired the necessary right-of-ways and has submitted permits in order to construct the header system

Renegotiated midstream agreement substantially improves RICE well economics in Greene County

__________________________1 Increase PV10 due to assumed gathering and compression fee of $030dth and $007dth versus previous historical fees of $045dth and $012dth Actual midstream fees for this area to be determined Assumes $350 HHUB See appendix for single well return assumptions

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

2016 spending funded by cash and cash flow with exit leverage of ~30x

A reduced 2016 capital plan could generate similar 2016 production and better 2016 leverage but would exit the year with no DUCrsquos and be poorly positioned for 2017 Minimal

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

2016 Capital Budget OverviewBudget Goals 1) Healthy Balance Sheet 2) Attractive EampP Returns 3) Growing Midstream Value

EampP - $640MM (~30 YOY production growth)

2016 EampP budget funded with cash and expected cash flow and will exit 2016 with an undrawn revolver and leverage at 30x

~35 of DampC budget contributes to 2017 production

Wells generate ~30 returns at strip(1)

DampC activity has a byproduct of enhancing midstream value at RMH and maintaining strong distribution growth of RMP thereby catalyzing further financing opportunities

RMH - $155MM (~100 YOY Gathering and Compression EBITDA growth)

Gathering construction in advance of continued rapid throughput growth from RICE and GPOR

Majority of budget allocated to building out trunklines of Strike Force JV

RMH funded with cash flow and $300MM revolver (undrawn today)

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~15x leverage

RMP - $150MM (~80 YOY EBITDA growth)

Compression capex is majority of budget and will result in compression revenues along with increased throughput in mid- 2016

RICE and EQT remain highly active in driving growth

RMP well positioned with 20 distribution growth and 13x-15x coverage

ndash Expect to exit 2016 at ~25x leverage

~15 reduction from 2015

~40 reduction from 2015

~12 reduction from 2015

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Rice has renegotiated the agreement and substantially all of the associated locations are expected to be gathered by RMP (1)

Ohio Utica Rice has updated interwell spacing to 1000rsquo from 750rsquo given pricing

environment and increased average lateral length from 8000rsquo to 9000rsquo Net undeveloped wells decreased by ~140 wells (90 from increased

Hedging SummaryHEDGE SUMMARY

RICErsquos gas will be marketed into 4 areasndash (1) Gulf Coast (ELA M1) ndash (2) TCOndash (3) Midwest (Chicago Dawn)ndash (4) Appalachia (M2 M3 amp Dominion)

78 of first quarter 2016 production transported out of Appalachian basin

Our Gulf Coast firm transportation contracts deliver to markets in the Gulf Coast (ELA M1)

ndash We hedge our Gulf Coast basis exposure opportunistically but believe our Henry Hub NYMEX derivatives serve as a hedge against these indices which have historically traded within a narrow band of $005-$015 below Henry Hub

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Rice has renegotiated the agreement and substantially all of the associated locations are expected to be gathered by RMP (1)

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Marcellus Rice reclassified ~110 net locations to ldquoMarcellusrdquo from ldquoWest Greenerdquo

ndash Locations previously dedicated under a legacy gathering agreement inherited with the acreage acquisition

Rice has renegotiated the agreement and substantially all of the associated locations are expected to be gathered by RMP (1)

Ohio Utica Rice has updated interwell spacing to 1000rsquo from 750rsquo given pricing

environment and increased average lateral length from 8000rsquo to 9000rsquo Net undeveloped wells decreased by ~140 wells (90 from increased

spacing 40 from increased lateral length 10 from wells turned online during 2015)

Rice has spacing tests planned for 2016 and will continue to evaluate optimal interwell spacing to maximize full-field value

RICErsquos gas will be marketed into 4 areasndash (1) Gulf Coast (ELA M1) ndash (2) TCOndash (3) Midwest (Chicago Dawn)ndash (4) Appalachia (M2 M3 amp Dominion)

78 of first quarter 2016 production transported out of Appalachian basin

Our Gulf Coast firm transportation contracts deliver to markets in the Gulf Coast (ELA M1)

ndash We hedge our Gulf Coast basis exposure opportunistically but believe our Henry Hub NYMEX derivatives serve as a hedge against these indices which have historically traded within a narrow band of $005-$015 below Henry Hub

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Utica Returns Are Driven by Flat-Time Production Ricersquos single well returns are driven by flat-time production and are resilient to post-flat

period decline curve assumptionsndash Ricersquos Utica wells produce 6 Bcf during 12 month flat period = ~28 of total EURndash Decline curves are less impactful to returns for wells that produce a meaningful portion of

Rice has renegotiated the agreement and substantially all of the associated locations are expected to be gathered by RMP (1)

Ohio Utica Rice has updated interwell spacing to 1000rsquo from 750rsquo given pricing

environment and increased average lateral length from 8000rsquo to 9000rsquo Net undeveloped wells decreased by ~140 wells (90 from increased

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

Hedging SummaryHEDGE SUMMARY

RICErsquos gas will be marketed into 4 areasndash (1) Gulf Coast (ELA M1) ndash (2) TCOndash (3) Midwest (Chicago Dawn)ndash (4) Appalachia (M2 M3 amp Dominion)

78 of first quarter 2016 production transported out of Appalachian basin

Our Gulf Coast firm transportation contracts deliver to markets in the Gulf Coast (ELA M1)

ndash We hedge our Gulf Coast basis exposure opportunistically but believe our Henry Hub NYMEX derivatives serve as a hedge against these indices which have historically traded within a narrow band of $005-$015 below Henry Hub

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

49 wwwriceenergycom

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

RICE 4Q 2015 Adjusted EBITDAX Reconciliation

__________________________Note Adjusted EBITDAX is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements such as industry analysts investors lenders and rating agencies We define Adjusted EBITDAX as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest interest expense income taxes depreciation depletion and amortization amortization of deferred financing costs amortization of intangible assets derivative fair value (gain) loss excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments non-cash stock compensation expense non-cash incentive unit expense exploration expenses and other non-recurring items Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP1 The adjustments for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are recognized at the end of each accounting period

because we do not designate commodity derivative instruments as accounting hedges This results in reflecting commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a cash basis during the period the derivatives settled

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

This presentation has been prepared by Rice Energy and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by Rice Energy to be reliable including independent industry publications government publications or other published independent sources Some data are also based on Rice Energyrsquos good faith estimates which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described above Although Rice Energy believes these sources are reliable it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness

NON-PROVEN OIL AND GAS RESERVES

The SEC permits oil and gas companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose proved reserves which are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions and certain probable and possible reserves that meet the SECrsquos definition for such terms We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources) and we may use other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings These broader classifications do not constitute reserves as defined by the SEC and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines

Our estimates of EURs have been prepared by our independent reserve engineers These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized particularly in areas or zones where there has been limited or no drilling history We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the company Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties will differ substantially In addition we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions the impact of future oil and gas pricing exploration and development costs and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk returns and the availability of capital and in many areas the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provide additional data and therefore actual quantities that may ultimately be recovered will likely differ from these estimates

Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases

Certain of Rice Energys wells are named after superheroes and monster trucks some of which may be trademarked Despite their size and strength Rice Energys wells are in no manner affiliated with such superheroes or monster trucks

Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels In particular production from horizontal drilling in shale oil and natural gas resource plays and tight natural gas plays that are stimulated with extensive pressure fracturing are typically characterized by significant early declines in production rates

Determination of Identified Drilling Locations as of December 31 2015

Net undeveloped locations are calculated by taking RICErsquos total net acreage and multiplying such amount by a risking factor which is then divided by RICErsquos expected well spacing RICE then subtracts net producing wells to arrive at undeveloped net drilling locations

Undeveloped Net Marcellus Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 750 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 121 acre spacing In the Marcellus RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 92000 net acres in the Marcellus which results in 487 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Ohio Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 9000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 207 acre spacing In the Ohio Utica RICE applies a 10 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 56000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Ohio which results in 215 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Pennsylvania Utica Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 8000 foot laterals and 2000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 367 acre spacing In the Pennsylvania Utica RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 49000 net acres prospective for the Utica in Pennsylvania which results in 105 undeveloped net locations

Undeveloped Net Upper Devonian Locations ndash RICE assumes these locations have 7000 foot laterals and 1000 foot spacing between wells which yields approximately 161 acre spacing In the Upper Devonian RICE applies a 20 risking factor to its net acreage to account for inefficient unitization and the risk associated with its inability to force pool in Pennsylvania As of December 31 2015 RICE had approximately 85000 net acres prospective for the Upper Devonian which results in 418 undeveloped net locations
