CERTAIN RESERVE INFORMATION Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors --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, net recoverable resource potential, recoverable resource, estimated ultimate recovery, 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. 22
