SUSTAINABILITY - PIONEER S PERSPECTIVE Objective: Protect the environment and ensure the health and safety of employees and contractors by: Continuing to focus on programs to create an incident-free and injury-free workplace Improving vehicle safety by implementing mandatory driver safety training Securing increasing supplies of non-potable water and reusing produced water to minimize the use of fresh water in well completions Utilizing leak detection and repair to reduce air emissions Pioneer published its inaugural Sustainability Report in 2017 Building facilities with spill prevention in mind and being prepared to respond immediately if a spill occurs High safety standards and environmental stewardship are critical components of successful energy development 18
PIONEER S TEMPLATE FOR CREATING SHAREHOLDER VALUE FOCUS ON RETURNS: Low-cost, high-return Permian wells underpin increasing corporate returns CAPITAL DISCIPLINE: Capital program within cash flow drives strong production growth RETURN OF CAPITAL: Increasing free cash flow 1 generation leads to return of capital to shareholders PRESERVE STRONG BALANCE SHEET: Maintain low leverage ratios to provide financial flexibility HIGHLY REPEATABLE PROGRAM: Decades of low-risk drilling inventory with cash flow breakeven oil prices that decrease annually Permian high return on capital 1 leads to increasing return of capital 1) Refer to supplemental slides for definition of financial metrics 19

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
