-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 24, 2001 DEAR LIMITED PARTNER: Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") has announced that it has filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The news release related to this announcement is enclosed for your information. As stated in the enclosed news release, Pioneer anticipates mailing the offering materials in mid-summer, subject to the timing of the SEC's review and comments on the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus. A registration statement relating to the shares of Pioneer common stock has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. The news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. We are not asking for your vote at this time, and we can not request any vote until we mail you a final proxy statement/prospectus after the SEC review process. BECAUSE OUR FILINGS WITH THE SEC ABOUT THE POSSIBLE MERGERS ARE PRELIMINARY, NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE BY TELEPHONE. No cash distributions will be made by any partnership to its partners after the distribution in March 2001, through the closing date of the merger of the partnership. If a partnership does not participate in the merger, any distributions which would have been paid during that time period in the ordinary course of business will be distributed to its partners. TRANSFER / CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP In our capacity as general partner, we have the discretionary authority granted under the partnership agreement to withhold our consent to the substitution of any assignees as limited partners. To protect our limited partners from under-priced buyout offers, we intend to exercise that authority and require each limited partner wishing to transfer ownership to a purchasing assignee to sign a waiver stating that he is aware of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus presently on file with the SEC, but that he desires to proceed with the transfer. No transfer will be accepted without this notarized waiver. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY ARE FINALIZED, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGERS. INVESTORS MAY ALSO OBTAIN THE PRELIMINARY AND (WHEN FILED) FINAL DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE PROPOSED MERGERS FREE THROUGH THE INTERNET WEB SITE THAT THE SEC MAINTAINS AT www.sec.gov.

NEWS RELEASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR RELATIONS CONTACT: SUSAN SPRATLEN (972) 444-9001 PIONEER FILES PROPOSAL TO ACQUIRE PARTNERSHIPS DALLAS, TEXAS, APRIL 18, 2001 - PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY ("PIONEER") (NYSE:PXD) (TSE:PXD announced today the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer has not set a minimum number of partnerships that must participate in order to complete any of the mergers. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. If the limited partners of those partnerships approve the mergers, Pioneer will acquire additional working interests in wells predominantly located in the Spraberry field in the Permian Basin of West Texas, a significant core area for Pioneer. The mergers will allow Pioneer to further consolidate Spraberry operations and reduce production costs. The amount Pioneer will pay for the partnership interests will be based on the partnerships' reserves values and net working capital as of March 31, 2001. The reserves values have been derived from the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnerships' oil and natural gas reserves at March 31, 2001, based on average NYMEX long-term oil and natural gas prices. Pioneer will include in its offer the partnerships' net working capital as of March 31, 2001. Pioneer estimates that its offer will be approximately $102 million to the unaffiliated limited partners. The amount of cash to be paid will equal 25% of the merger value, and the remaining 75% will be paid in shares of Pioneer common stock based on its average closing price for the ten trading days ending three trading days before the date of the special meeting of limited partners to be held later this year. The purchase price will be allocated among the limited partners as though the partnerships sold their assets and liquidated in accordance with the partnership agreements. Pioneer USA will consider offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets. Those who wish to make an offer for any partnership must demonstrate to Pioneer USA's reasonable satisfaction their financial ability and willingness to complete such a transaction. Before reviewing non-public information about a partnership or its assets, a third party will need to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement. Pioneer USA will provide interested third parties with more specific information about the price it is offering to each partnership. Offers should be at prices and on terms that are fair to the partners of the partnership and more favorable to the limited partners than the price and terms that Pioneer USA has proposed. 4 Persons interested in making an offer should contact Timothy L. Dove or Mark L. Withrow, Board of Directors, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., 1400 Williams Square West, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, Irving, Texas 75039 (972-444-9001) before June 1, 2001. Subject to the timing of the SEC's review and comments on the preliminary prospectus and proxy statements, Pioneer and Pioneer USA anticipate mailing the offering materials in mid-summer. The mergers will require the approval of a majority of the limited partners in each partnership (two thirds of the limited partners for two of the partnerships). If approved, Pioneer anticipates closing the mergers during the third quarter of 2001. A registration statement relating to these shares of Pioneer common stock has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such State. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 1400 Williams Square West, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.
