Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information contained herein, the statements, charts and graphs
in this presentation are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe
Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements and the business prospects of Pioneer are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that may cause Pioneer's actual results in future periods to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, volatility of commodity prices, product supply and
demand, competition, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the
timing thereof, other government regulation or action, the ability to obtain approvals
from third parties and negotiate agreements with third parties on mutually acceptable
terms, international operations and associated international political and economic
instability, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of
equipment, services and personnel required to complete the Company’s operating
activities, access to and availability of transportation, processing and refining
facilities, Pioneer's ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans or
complete its development activities as scheduled, access to and cost of capital, the
financial strength of counterparties to Pioneer’s credit facility and derivative contracts
and the purchasers of Pioneer’s oil, NGL and gas production, uncertainties about
estimates of reserves and resource potential and the ability to add proved reserves in
the future, the assumptions underlying production forecasts, quality of technical data,
environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change, and
acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in Pioneer's 10-K and 10-
Q Reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition,
Pioneer may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially
adverse impact on it. Pioneer undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements
except as required by law.

Pioneer’s History in the Eagle Ford Shale
§ Re-completed several vertical wells in late
 2006 in the Eagle Ford zone of interest
§ Play “exploded” with several key horizontal
 wells tested at high rates in 2008/2009
§ Drilled 20 wells (15 with pilots & full suite of
 logs)
§ Cut over 1,000 feet of core
§ Shot >2,000 sq miles of 3-D seismic
§ Joint venture with Reliance
§ Drilling with 5 rigs; planning to be at 14 rigs by
 2012

Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
§ We imported 3,540,500,000 barrels in 2009
  That’s 9,700,000 barrels per day
§ We paid out
 $208,894,495,000
 for imported oil in 2009
  That’s $572,000,000 per day
  Or $680 for each person
 in America
§ Among the top countries we import from:
 Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Russia, Algeria, Angola
 and Iraq
$208,894,495,000

Infrastructure: Refueling Stations
 ~ 10,000 natural gas vehicles in U.S. today
 ~ 1,600 natural gas fueling stations
 NGV fueling infrastructure is growing:
  cleaner, more affordable fleets
  governments concerned about air quality
  more commitment to reduce reliance on
 foreign oil
 Public access to refueling is expanding:
  South Coast Air Quality Management District and UPS completing 700-mile
 natural gas corridor from Las Vegas to Ontario, California
  Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has designated I-15 from Idaho to Arizona as a
 natural gas vehicle corridor
  Seattle is among a growing number of cities making fueling stations for
 municipal fleets available to the public
Texas should take the lead as Top Natural Gas Producing State

Certain Reserve Information
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors --The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing
estimates of oil or gas resources other than “reserves,” as that term is defined by the
SEC. In this presentation, Pioneer includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using
certain terms, such as “resource potential,” “EUR” or other descriptions of volumes of
reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s
definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines
strictly prohibit Pioneer from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by
their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are
subject to substantially greater risk of being recovered by Pioneer. U.S. investors are
urged to consider closely the disclosures in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC,
available from the Company at 5205 N. O'Connor Blvd., Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75039,
Attention Investor Relations, and the Company’s website at www.pxd.com. These filings
also can be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
