Forward-Looking Statements Except for historical information contained herein, the statements 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 oil and gas prices, product supply and demand, competition, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or action, third party approvals, international operations and associated international political and economic instability, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of drilling equipment, Pioneer's ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans (including its plan to repurchase stock), or complete its development projects as scheduled, access to and cost of capital, uncertainties about estimates of reserves, the assumptions underlying production forecasts, quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, 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. Please see the Appendix to this presentation for other important information.

Strategy For Strong, Consistent Growth Focus on predictable oil and gas basins in North America that can deliver strong, consistent growth Represents 98% of reserve base Expanding development drilling Lowering risk profile by expanding unconventional resource plays and reducing exploration capital Building significant acreage positions in existing and new plays at attractive entry cost Adding to core area positions with low-risk, bolt-on acquisitions in plays with extensive operating experience A Smaller, Focused Company with a Stronger Platform for Growth

Certain Reserve Information The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Pioneer uses certain terms in this presentation, such as "resource," "potential," "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC's guidelines 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.

Net Asset Value Disclosure Pioneer does not consider "Net Asset Value" and "Net Asset Value Per Share" to be "non-GAAP financial measures," as defined in SEC rules. Pioneer uses Net Asset Value as an estimate of fair value. Net Asset Value and Net Asset Value Per Share should not be considered as alternatives to Standardized Measure, Stockholders Equity or per share statements of those measures. Pioneer's NAV calculation is based on numerous assumptions that may change as a result of future activities or circumstances. NAV is calculated using strip commodity prices as of January 2006 and is discounted at 10%, unless otherwise indicated. In the context of determining Pioneer's Net Asset Value Per Share, Pioneer adds other tangible assets adjusted for working capital and deducts long-term debt and other liabilities, including future income taxes and the impact of existing hedge positions.
