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, 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, international operations 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

1) Reflects Tunisia as discontinued operations
2) 2011 annual production reduced by an estimated 3,500 BOEPD - 4,000 BOEPD due to severe weather and delayed delivery of frac fleets in Q1, Spraberry oil
 transport truck shortfall in Q2, third-party water injection supply shortages in Alaska and unplanned South Africa GTL plant downtime in 2H

November Equity Offering Summary
§ PXD believes it is the largest holder of prospective acreage in the horizontal Wolfcamp
 Shale play in West Texas with >400 M acres under lease (75% HBP)
  Initial focus will be on >200 M acres in the southern portion of the Spraberry field
§ Equity offering of 5.5 MM shares with net proceeds of $484 MM will allow Pioneer to
 expand drilling in the horizontal Wolfcamp Shale play in 2012-2013 while continuing to:
  Actively develop its 3 high-return, liquids-rich growth assets in Texas
  Maintain its strong balance sheet
§ Expanded horizontal Wolfcamp Shale drilling program in 2012 - 2013 includes:
  Holding ~50 M strategic acres expiring over the next 2 years within >200 M acre initial
 focus area (~80 wells required to hold this acreage)
  Adding infrastructure and bolt-on acreage
§ Horizontal Wolfcamp Shale wells expected to deliver similar IRRs to Spraberry vertical
 wells

VPP - Adjusted Production Costs1
Pioneer presents VPP-Adjusted Production Costs (per BOE) to assist
investors in considering the Company’s costs in relation to the total BOEs
(reported sales volumes plus VPP delivered volumes) in connection with
which those costs were incurred. VPP-Production Costs (per BOE) are
calculated as follows:
     Q3 ’10 Q4 ’10 Q1 ’11 Q2 ’11 Q3 ’11
Production costs as reported (thousands) $ 133,757 $ 112,014 $ 133,228 $ 138,319 $ 158,151
   
Production (MBOE):
 As reported  10,091 10,225 10,009 10,791 11,746
 VPP deliveries 627 622 338 341 345
  VPP-adjusted production 10,718 10,847 10,347 11,132 12,091
       
Production costs per BOE:      
 As reported  $ 13.27 $ 10.94 $ 13.31 $ 12.82 $ 13.47

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,” “resource potential,” “EUR”, “oil in place” 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. Such filings are 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.
