Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
The information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Report) contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, the words believes, plans, expects, anticipates, intends, continue, may, will, could, should, future, potential, estimate, or the negative of such terms and similar expressions as they relate to Pioneer Natural Resources Company (Pioneer or the Company) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on the Companys current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which the Company operates. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond the Companys control.
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, international operations and associated international political and economic instability, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, access to and availability of drilling equipment and transportation, processing and refining facilities, Pioneers 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 Pioneers credit facility and derivative contracts and the purchasers of Pioneers 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, and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, this and other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially adverse impact on it. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results described in the forward-looking statements. See Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Report and Item 1. Business Competition, Markets and Regulations, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 for a description of various factors that could materially affect the ability of Pioneer to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as required by law.

Within this Report, the following terms and conventions have specific meanings:
| Bbl means a standard barrel containing 42 United States gallons. |
| Bcf means one billion cubic feet. |
| BOE means a barrel of oil equivalent and is a standard convention used to express oil and gas volumes on a comparable oil equivalent basis. Gas equivalents are determined under the relative energy content method by using the ratio of 6.0 Mcf of gas to 1.0 Bbl of oil or natural gas liquid. |
| BOEPD means BOE per day. |
| Btu means British thermal unit, which is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. |
| CBM means coal bed methane. |
| DD&A means depletion, depreciation and amortization. |
| field fuel means gas consumed to operate field equipment (primarily compressors) prior to the gas being delivered to a sales point. |
| GAAP means accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. |
| IPO means initial public offering. |
| LIBOR means London Interbank Offered Rate, which is a market rate of interest. |
| LNG means liquefied natural gas. |
| MBbl means one thousand Bbls. |
| MBOE means one thousand BOEs. |
| Mcf means one thousand cubic feet and is a measure of natural gas volume. |
| MMBbl means one million Bbls. |
| MMBOE means one million BOEs. |
| MMBtu means one million Btus. |
| MMcf means one million cubic feet. |
| MMcfpd means one million cubic feet per day. |

| NYSE means the New York Stock Exchange. |
| Pioneer or the Company means Pioneer Natural Resources Company and its subsidiaries. |
| Pioneer Southwest means Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. and its subsidiaries. |
| proved reserves mean the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions. |
(i) Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The area of a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and (B) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
(ii) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
(iii) Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (A) oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as indicated additional reserves; (B) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics or economic factors; (C) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, that may occur in undrilled prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.
| SEC means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. |
| Standardized Measure means the after-tax present value of estimated future net cash flows of proved reserves, determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, using prices and costs in effect at the specified date and a ten percent discount rate. |
| U.S. means United States. |
| VPP means volumetric production payment. |
| With respect to information on the working interest in wells, drilling locations and acreage, net wells, drilling locations and acres are determined by multiplying gross wells, drilling locations and acres by the Companys working interest in such wells, drilling locations or acres. Unless otherwise specified, wells, drilling locations and acreage statistics quoted herein represent gross wells, drilling locations or acres. |
| Unless otherwise indicated, all currency amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
NOTE A. | Organization and Nature of Operations |
Pioneer is a Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is a large independent oil and gas exploration and production company with continuing operations in the United States, South Africa and Tunisia.
NOTE B. | Basis of Presentation |
Presentation. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 include all adjustments and accruals, consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Discontinued operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company committed to a plan to sell its shelf properties in the Gulf of Mexico and sold its Mississippi assets. The Company completed the sale of its shelf properties in the Gulf of Mexico on August 6, 2009. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), the Company has classified the assets and liabilities of its shelf properties in the Gulf of Mexico as discontinued operations held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009, and reflected the results of operations of both the planned and completed divestitures as discontinued operations, rather than as a component of continuing operations. In April 2006 and November 2007, the Company completed the sale of its Argentine assets and Canadian subsidiaries. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company continued to realize certain revenues and costs and expense increments associated with these divestitures. See Note R for additional information regarding discontinued operations.
Allowances for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Companys allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $12.2 million and $32.4 million, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company establishes allowances for bad debts equal to the estimable portions of accounts and notes receivables for which failure to collect is considered probable. The Company estimates the portions of joint interest receivables for which failure to collect is probable based on percentages of joint interest receivables that are past due. The Company estimates the portions of other receivables for which failure to collect is probable based on the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the receivable. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the receivables included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets and as charges to other expense in the consolidated statements of operations in the accounting periods during which failure to collect an estimable portion is determined to be probable.

Inventories. Inventories consisted of $219.0 million and $158.7 million of materials and supplies and $3.8 million and $8.7 million of commodities as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Companys materials and supplies inventory is primarily comprised of oil and gas drilling or repair items such as tubing, casing, chemicals, operating supplies and ordinary maintenance materials and parts. The materials and supplies inventory is
11
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
primarily acquired for use in future drilling operations or repair operations and is carried at the lower of cost or market, on a first-in, first-out cost basis. Market, in the context of inventory valuation, represents net realizable value, which is the amount that the Company is allowed to charge to the joint accounts when the inventory is used in joint operations under joint operating agreements to which the Company is a party. Any valuation reserve allowances of materials and supplies inventory are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the materials and supply inventories in the Companys consolidated balance sheets and as charges to other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Companys materials and supplies inventory was net of $6.1 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of valuation reserve allowances. The Company estimated that approximately $103.7 million and $90.2 million of its June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 materials and supplies inventories, respectively, would not be utilized within one year based on current drilling plans. Accordingly, those inventory values have been classified as other noncurrent assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Commodities inventories are carried at the lower of average cost or market, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Companys commodities inventories consist of oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) held in storage. Any valuation allowances of commodities inventories are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the commodities inventories included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets and as charges to other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2008, the Companys commodities inventories were net of $159 thousand of valuation allowances.
Derivatives and hedging. Prior to December 2008, the Company had elected to designate the majority of its commodity derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. During December 2008, the Company began entering into commodity derivative contracts that were not designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). Changes in the fair values of non-hedge derivative instruments are recognized as gains or losses in the earnings of the period in which they occur. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on all existing hedge contracts. The effective portions of the discontinued deferred hedges as of January 31, 2009 are included in accumulated other comprehensive income deferred hedge gains, net of tax (AOCI Hedging), in the stockholders equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are being reclassified to earnings during the same periods in which the hedged transactions are recognized in the Companys earnings. For the period from February 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009, the Company recognized, and in the future will recognize, all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts as gains or losses in the earnings of the period in which they occur.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39), the Company classifies the fair value amounts of derivative assets and liabilities executed under master netting arrangements as net derivative assets or net derivative liabilities by commodity, whichever the case may be. Net derivative asset values are determined, in part, by utilization of the derivative counterparties credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves and net derivative liabilities are determined, in part, by utilization of the Companys credit-adjusted risk-free rate curve. The credit-adjusted risk-free rates are based on an independent market-quoted credit default swap rate curve for the Companys or the counterparties debt plus the United States Treasury Bill yield curve as of June 30, 2009.
Goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment of the carrying value of goodwill is likely, but no less often than annually. If the carrying value of goodwill is determined to be impaired, it is reduced for the impaired value with a corresponding charge to pretax earnings in the period in which it is determined to be impaired. During the third quarter of 2008, the Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill impairment and determined that there was no impairment. However, as a result of commodity prices and the market capitalization of the Company declining significantly during the second half of 2008, which the Company considered an event that might indicate impairment to the carrying value of goodwill, the Company reassessed goodwill for impairment at December 31, 2008 and quarterly thereafter and determined that there was no impairment. See Note M for additional information regarding the Companys impairment assessments.
Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries. The Company owns a 0.1 percent general partner interest and a 68.3 percent limited partner interest in Pioneer Southwest. Pioneer Southwest owns interests in certain oil and gas properties previously owned by the Company in the Spraberry field in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Pioneer Southwest are consolidated with those of the Company.

In addition to Pioneer Southwest, the Company owns the majority interests in certain other subsidiaries with operations in the United States. Noncontrolling interest in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries totaled $89.6 million and $104.0 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Company recorded a net loss attributable to the noncontrolling interests (principally related to Pioneer Southwest) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $522 thousand, net income of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, and net income of $6.2 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. See New accounting pronouncements and Reclassifications and retrospective adjustments for information regarding the Companys adoption of SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No. 51 (SFAS 160).
Stock-based compensation. For stock-based compensation awards, compensation expense is being recognized in the Companys financial statements on a straight line basis over the awards vesting periods based on their fair values on the dates of grant. The Company utilizes (i) the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options, (ii) the stock price on the date of grant for the fair value of restricted stock awards and (iii) the Monte Carlo simulation method for the fair value of performance unit awards.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $9.9 million and $19.2 million of stock-based compensation costs for all plans, respectively, as compared to $8.3 million and $17.2 million for the same respective periods of 2008.
In accordance with GAAP, the Companys issued shares, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, do not include 1,021,413 and 1,078,267, respectively, of issued but unvested shares awarded under stock-based compensation plans which have voting rights.
The following table summarizes all stock-based awards, lapses and forfeitures that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2009:
Restricted Stock Shares |

| | | 131,911 | ||||
Forfeitures |

As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $65.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation plan awards, related to restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance unit awards and stock options. This compensation will be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the awards, which on a weighted average basis is a period of less than three years.
New accounting pronouncements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measures (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. During February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, FSP FAS 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2). FSP FAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis at least annually. On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the remaining provisions of SFAS 157, for which delayed adoption was provided under FSP FAS 157-2.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)). SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS 141 and provides greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business
13
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of the date that the acquirer achieves control over the business acquired. This includes the measurement of the acquirers shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the recognition of pre-acquisition contractual and certain non-contractual gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized research and development costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirers income tax valuation allowance and deferred taxes. The provisions of SFAS 141(R) also require that restructuring costs resulting from the business combination that the acquirer expects but is not required to incur and costs incurred to effect the acquisition be recognized separate from the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is applied. The Company became subject to the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160. SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS 160 requires consolidated earnings to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring entities to provide enhanced disclosures about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009. See Note G for disclosures about the Companys derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 increases the annual interest expense that the Company recognizes on its $480 million of 2.875% convertible senior notes due 2038 (2.875% Convertible Senior Notes) from an annual yield of 2.875 percent to 6.75 percent, the annual yield equivalent to a nonconvertible debt borrowing at the time of issuance. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 also resulted in the reclassification of the estimated issuance date fair value of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes conversion privilege from long-term debt to shareholders equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Reclassifications and retrospective adjustments and Note F for additional information regarding the Companys adoption of FSP APB 14-1.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1), which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the net income (loss) allocation in computing basic and diluted earnings per share under the two class method prescribed under SFAS 128, Earnings per Share. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on January 1, 2009 and, in accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, applied its provisions retrospectively to prior-period earnings per share computations. See Note K for additional information regarding the Companys basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
In December 2008, the SEC released Final Rule, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting (the Reserve Ruling). The Reserve Ruling revises oil and gas reporting disclosures. The Reserve Ruling also permits the use of new technologies to determine proved reserves if those technologies have been demonstrated empirically to lead to reliable conclusions about reserves volumes. The Reserve Ruling will also allow companies to disclose their probable
14
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
and possible reserves to investors. In addition, the new disclosure requirements require companies to: (i) report the independence and qualifications of its reserves preparer or auditor, (ii) file reports when a third party is relied upon to prepare reserves estimates or conduct a reserves audit and (iii) report oil and gas reserves using an average price based upon the prior 12-month period rather than a year-end price. The Reserve Ruling becomes effective for annual reports on Forms 10-K for fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2009. During February 2009, the FASB announced a project to amend SFAS No. 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies (SFAS 19) to conform to the Reserve Ruling. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of the provisions of the Reserve Ruling will have on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1), which amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting. FSP FAS 107-1 requires fair value disclosures by publicly traded companies of financial instruments for interim reporting purposes. FSP FAS 107-1 was adopted by the Company during the second quarter of 2009. See Note D for disclosures about the fair values of the Companys financial instruments.
Reclassifications and retrospective adjustments. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 amounts in order to conform to the 2009 presentation and for the retrospective application of the adoption of SFAS 160. The retrospective application of SFAS 160 resulted in the reclassification of $59.2 million from minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries and $44.8 million from AOCI Hedging to Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries at December 31, 2008. In addition, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 and FSP EITF 03-6-1 required retrospective adjustments to the Companys financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The retrospective adjustments related to the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 decreased the Companys net income attributable to common stockholders by $2.1 million (approximately $.02 per diluted share) and $3.9 million (approximately $.03 per diluted share), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The retrospective application of FSP APB 14-1 also increased additional paid-in capital by $49.5 million and decreased retained earnings by $10.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The retrospective application of the provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 to the reported per-share amounts of the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 reduced the Companys diluted earnings of each period by approximately $.01 per share, exclusive of the effects from the adoption of FSP APB 14-1.
NOTE C. | Exploratory Well Costs |
The Company capitalizes exploratory well costs until a determination is made that the well has either found proved reserves or that it is impaired. The capitalized exploratory well costs are presented in proved properties in the consolidated balance sheets. If the exploratory well is determined to be impaired, the well costs are charged to exploration and abandonments expense.
The following table reflects the Companys capitalized exploratory well activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009:

Cosmopolitan Unit. The Company owns a 100 percent working interest in, and is the operator of, the Cosmopolitan Unit in the Cook Inlet of Alaska. During 2007, the Company drilled the Hansen #1A L1 well, a lateral sidetrack from an existing wellbore, to appraise the resource potential of the unit. The initial unstimulated production test results were encouraging. As a result, the Company began permitting and facilities planning during 2008 to further evaluate the units resource potential. During 2009, the Company plans to continue with permitting, progress engineering studies and develop plans for a second well to be drilled in 2010 to further delineate the extent of the units resource potential.
Tunisia Cherouq. The Company has $17.6 million and $5.0 million of suspended well costs recorded for the Hayaat #1 and Hilal #1 wells, respectively, in the Companys Cherouq production concession area, which is operated by the Company. The Hayaat #1 well began drilling in April 2008 to test several targeted formations. Mechanical failures were encountered during the testing of the well that did not allow completion of the formation assessments. The Company is analyzing seismic and other data to determine the optimal plan forward for completing the well, which may utilize the existing wellbore or a new wellbore adjacent to the existing well. The Company expects to finalize its Hayaat #1 plans and complete its assessment activities during 2010 or 2011.
The Hilal #1 well was originally drilled as an exploration well during 2007. The well was unsuccessful; however, the well is being re-completed to a formation that will be used for water disposal in support of other Cherouq operations. The Company recorded a $1.5 million dry hole charge for the Hilal #1 during 2007, representing the portion of the well costs that will not be used in disposal operations. Installation of the surface equipment is underway and disposal operations are planned to start during the second half of 2009.
Tunisia Borj El Khadra prospects. The Company has $7.9 million of suspended well costs attributable to the Nahkil #1 and Abir #1 wells in the Borj El Khadra exploration permit area, which is operated by a third-party. The Nahkil #1 well encountered oil-bearing sands and the Abir #1 well encountered gas-bearing sands. The Company does not record proved reserves associated with discoveries in exploration permit areas until a production concession is granted. Infrastructure planning is underway and further exploration of the permit area is planned to occur in 2009 or 2010.

NOTE D. | Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements |
The valuation framework of SFAS 157 is based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect a companys own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following fair value input hierarchy:
| Level 1 quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| Level 2 quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates) and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The fair value input hierarchy level to which an asset or liability measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety. The following table presents the Companys assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Trading securities and deferred compensation plan assets. The Companys trading securities represent equity securities that are not actively traded on major exchanges and, to a lesser extent, trading securities that are actively traded on major exchanges. The Companys deferred compensation plan assets represent investments in equity and mutual fund securities that are actively traded on major exchanges plus unallocated contributions as of the measurement date. As of June 30, 2009, all significant inputs to these asset exchange values represented Level 1 independent active exchange market price inputs except inputs for trading securities that are not actively traded on major exchanges, which were provided by broker quotes representing Level 2 inputs.
Interest rate derivatives. The Companys interest rate derivative liabilities represent swap contracts for $400 million notional amount of debt, whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and the counterparty pays a variable LIBOR-based rate. The net derivative liability values attributable to the Companys interest rate derivative contracts as of June 30, 2009 are based on (i) the contracted notional amounts, (ii) LIBOR rate yield curves provided by counterparties and corroborated with forward active market-quoted LIBOR rate yield curves and (iii) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve. The Companys interest rate derivative asset measurements represent Level 2 inputs in the hierarchy priority.
Commodity derivatives. The Companys commodity derivatives represent oil, NGL and gas swap and collar contracts. The Companys oil and gas swap, collar and three-way collar derivative contract asset and liability measurements represent Level 2 inputs in the hierarchy priority while NGL derivative contract asset and liability measurements represent Level 3 inputs in the hierarchy priority.
Oil derivatives. The Companys oil derivatives are swap, collar and three-way collar contracts for notional Bbls of oil at fixed (in the case of swap contracts) or interval (in the case of collar and three-way collar contracts) NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices. The asset and liability values attributable to the Companys oil derivatives as of June 30, 2009 are based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active NYMEX futures price quotes for WTI oil, (iii) the applicable estimated credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve and (iv) the implied rate of volatility inherent in the collar and three-way collar contracts. The implied rates of volatility inherent in the Companys collar contracts were determined based on market-quoted volatility factors adjusted for estimated volatility skews and corroborated with average volatility factors provided by the Companys counterparties.
NGL derivatives. The Companys NGL derivatives are swap contracts for notional blended Bbls of Mont Belvieu-posted-price NGLs. The asset and liability values attributable to the Companys NGL derivatives as of June 30, 2009 are based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent broker-supplied forward Mont Belvieu-posted-price quotes and (iii) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve.

Gas derivatives. The Companys gas derivatives are swap, collar and three-way collar contracts for notional MMBtus of gas contracted at various posted price indexes, including NYMEX Henry Hub (HH) swap contracts coupled with basis swap contracts that convert the HH price index point to other price indexes. The asset and liability values attributable to the Companys gas derivative contracts as of June 30, 2009 are based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active NYMEX futures price quotes for HH gas, (iii) averages of forward posted price quotes supplied by independent brokers who are active in buying and selling gas derivatives at the indexes other than HH (iv) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve and (v) the implied rate of volatility inherent in the collar and three-way collar contracts. The implied rates of volatility inherent in the Companys collar contracts were determined based on market-quoted volatility factors adjusted for estimated volatility skews and corroborated with average volatility factors provided by the Companys counterparties.
The Company corroborated independent broker-supplied forward price quotes by comparing price quote samples to alternate observable market data.
Credit facility. The fair value of the Companys credit facility is based on (i) contractual interest and fees, (ii) forward active market-quoted LIBOR rate yield curves and (iii) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve. The Companys credit facility measurements represent Level 2 inputs in the hierarchy priority.
Senior notes. The Companys senior notes represent debt securities that are actively traded on major exchanges.
NOTE E. | Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires that the Company continually assess both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets can be realized prior to their expiration. Pioneer monitors Company-specific, oil and gas industry and worldwide economic factors to assess the likelihood that the Companys net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and other deferred tax attributes in the U.S. federal, state and foreign tax jurisdictions will be utilized prior to their expiration. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Companys valuation allowances (relating primarily to foreign tax jurisdictions) were $42.0 million and $37.5 million, respectively.
The Company also accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement methodology for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits (as defined in FIN 48). In connection with the adoption of FIN 48, the Company established a policy to account for interest charges with respect to income taxes as interest expense and any penalties, with respect to income taxes, as other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company believes that it is no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. As of June 30, 2009, no adjustments had been proposed in any jurisdiction that would have a significant effect on the Companys future results of operations or financial position.
On June 30, 2009, pursuant to Tunisian law, the Company established an investment reserve equal to 20 percent of 2008 taxable profits on the Adam and Cherouq concessions and thereby reduced current taxes payable by $13.1 million with a corresponding offset to deferred income taxes in the Companys accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The investment reserve will be used to fund future drilling activity or pipeline infrastructure projects in Tunisia.

Lines of credit. During April 2007, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the Credit Facility) that matures in April 2012, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility provides for initial aggregate loan commitments of $1.5 billion, which may be increased to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 billion if the lenders increase their loan commitments or if loan commitments of new financial institutions are added. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $982.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $46.0 million of undrawn letters of credit, all of which were commitments under the Credit Facility, leaving the Company with $472.0 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
Effective April 29, 2009, the Company and the lenders under the Companys Credit Facility amended the Credit Facility to provide the Company additional financial flexibility. The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, one of which required the Company to maintain a ratio of the net present value of the Companys oil and gas properties to total debt of at least 1.75 to 1.0 until the Company achieves an investment grade rating by Moodys Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poors Ratings Group, Inc. The amendment changed that ratio to 1.5 to 1.0 through the period ending March 31, 2011, after which time the ratio would revert to 1.75 to 1.0, and provides that the Company may include in the calculation of the present value of its oil and gas properties 75 percent of the market value of its ownership of limited partner units of Pioneer Southwest. The covenant requiring the Company to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 0.60 to 1.0 was not changed.
The amendment also adjusted certain borrowing rates and commitment fees, and changed certain provisions relating to the consequences if a lender under the Credit Facility defaults in its obligations under the agreement. After taking into account the amendment, revolving loans under the Credit Facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, based on (a) a rate per annum equal to the higher of the prime rate announced from time to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank or the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System during the last preceding business day plus .5 percent plus a defined alternate base rate spread margin (ABR Margin), which is currently one percent based on the Companys debt rating or (b) a base Eurodollar rate, substantially equal to LIBOR, plus a margin (the Applicable Margin), which is currently two percent and is also determined by the Companys debt rating. Swing line loans under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ASK rate for Federal funds periodically published by the Dow Jones Market Service plus the Applicable Margin. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility are subject to a per annum fee, representing the Applicable Margin plus .125 percent. The Company also pays commitment fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility that are determined by the Companys debt rating (currently 0.375 percent).
As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
Senior convertible notes. During January 2008, the Company issued $500 million principal amount of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes, of which $480 million remains outstanding at June 30, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 and, in accordance therewith, the Company applied the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 on a retrospective basis. The initial adoption of FSP APB 14-1 decreased the carrying value of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes by $63.5 million, increased stockholders equity by $39.5 million and increased deferred tax liabilities by $24.0 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 increased interest expense by $3.5 million and $7.0 million and increased the Companys net loss by approximately $2.2 million ($.02 per diluted share) and $4.4 million ($.04 per diluted share).
NOTE G. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
The Company uses financial derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price, interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. The Company generally does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company also may enter physical delivery contracts to effectively provide commodity price protection. Because these contracts are not expected to be net cash settled, they are considered to be normal sales contracts and not derivatives. Therefore, physical delivery contracts are not accounted for as derivative financial instruments in the financial statements.
All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at estimated fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance with SFAS 157 and is generally determined based on the credit-adjusted present value difference between the fixed contract price and the underlying market price at the determination date. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on all existing derivative instruments and since that date has accounted for derivative instruments using the mark-to-market accounting method. Therefore, the Company will recognize all future changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts as gains or losses in the earnings of the period in which they occur.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges prior to the Companys discontinuance of hedge accounting on February 1, 2009 were recorded as a component of AOCI Hedging, which has been or will be transferred to earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of hedge derivatives prior to February 1, 2009 was recorded in the earnings of the period of change. The ineffective portion was calculated as the difference between the change in fair value of the hedge derivative and the estimated change in cash flows from the item hedged.
Fair value derivatives. The Company monitors the debt capital markets and interest rate trends to identify opportunities to enter into and terminate interest rate derivative contracts, with the objective of reducing the Companys costs of capital. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company was not a party to any fair value hedges.
Cash flow derivatives. The Company utilizes commodity swap and collar contracts to (i) reduce the effect of price volatility on the commodities the Company produces and sells, (ii) support the Companys annual capital budgeting and expenditure plans and (iii) reduce commodity price risk associated with certain capital projects. The Company also, from time to time, utilizes interest rate contracts to reduce the effect of interest rate volatility on the Companys indebtedness and forward currency exchange agreements to reduce the effect of exchange rate volatility.
Oil prices. All material physical sales contracts governing the Companys oil production have been tied directly or indirectly to the NYMEX prices.

Interest rate. During January 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts and designated the contracts as cash flow hedges of the forecasted interest rate risk associated with a portion of the Companys Credit Facility indebtedness. The interest rate swap contracts are variable-for-fixed-rate swaps on $400 million notional amount of debt at a weighted average fixed annual rate of 2.87 percent, excluding any applicable margins. The interest rate swaps had an effective start date of February 2008, with $200 million terminating during February 2010 and $200 million during February 2011.
Hedge ineffectiveness. On February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting. As a result, the Company only recorded ineffectiveness during January 2009, which was nominal. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded net ineffectiveness income of $.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Hedge ineffectiveness represents the ineffective portions of changes in the fair values of the Companys cash flow hedging instruments. The primary causes of hedge ineffectiveness were changes in forecasted hedged sales volumes and commodity price correlations.
Tabular disclosure of derivative fair value. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on all existing derivative instruments, and since that date forward has accounted for derivative instruments

AOCI - Hedging. The fair value of the effective portion of the derivative contracts on January 31, 2009 is reflected in AOCI-Hedging and is being transferred to oil and gas revenue (for commodity derivatives) and interest expense (for interest rate derivatives) over the remaining term of the contracts. In accordance with the mark-to-market method of accounting, the Company will recognize all future changes in fair values of its derivative contracts as gains or losses in the earnings of the period in which they occur.
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, AOCI - Hedging represented net deferred gains of $76.6 million and $88.8 million, respectively. The AOCI - Hedging balance as of June 30, 2009 was comprised of $168.5 million of net deferred gains on the effective portions of discontinued commodity hedges, $9.3 million of net deferred losses on the effective portions of discontinued interest rate hedges, $45.4 million of associated net deferred tax provisions and a charge for $37.2 million of AOCI Hedging attributable to noncontrolling interests. The $12.2 million decrease in net deferred hedge gains comprising AOCIHedging during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily attributable to the transfer of net deferred hedge gains to earnings, partially offset by deferred fair value gains during January 2009 and a decrease in AOCI Hedging attributable to noncontrolling interests. AOCI - Hedging attributable to noncontrolling interests represented $44.7 million of deferred gains, net of taxes as of December 31, 2008.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
During the twelve months ending June 30, 2010, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $95.0 million of AOCI Hedging net deferred gains to oil and gas revenues and $5.2 million of AOCI Hedging net deferred losses to interest expense. The Company also expects to reclassify approximately $12.1 million of net deferred income tax provisions associated with hedge derivatives during the year ending June 30, 2010 from AOCI - Hedging to income tax expense.
Discontinued commodity hedges. Effective on February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued all of its commodity and interest rates hedges and began accounting for the associated derivatives using the mark-to-market accounting method. Prior to February 1, 2009, the Company periodically discontinued commodity hedges by terminating the derivative positions when the underlying commodity prices reached a point that the Company believed would be the high or low price of the commodity prior to the scheduled settlement of the open commodity position. This allowed the Company to lock in gains or minimize losses associated with the open hedge positions. At the time of hedge discontinuation, the amounts recorded in AOCIHedging are maintained and amortized to earnings over the periods the production was scheduled to occur.
The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2009, the scheduled amortization of net deferred gains and (losses) on discontinued commodity hedges that will be recognized as increases or (decreases) to the Companys future oil and gas revenues:

NOTE H. | Asset Retirement Obligations |
The Companys asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future plugging and abandonment of wells and related facilities. The Company does not provide for a market risk premium associated with asset retirement obligations because a reliable estimate cannot be determined. The Company has no assets that are legally restricted for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations. The following table summarizes the Companys asset retirement obligation transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

The Company records the current and noncurrent portions of asset retirement obligations in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the current portions of the Companys asset retirement obligations were $22.7 million and $29.9 million, respectively.
NOTE I. | Postretirement Benefit Obligations |
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $9.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligations, the current and noncurrent portions of which are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. These obligations are comprised of five plans of which four relate to predecessor entities that the Company acquired in prior years. These plans had no assets as of June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. Other than participants in the Companys retirement plan, the participants of these plans are not current employees of the Company.

NOTE J. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Legal actions. The Company is party to the legal actions that are described below. The Company is also a party to other proceedings and claims incidental to its business. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, the Company believes that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to such other proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position as a whole or on its liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations. The Company will continue to evaluate its litigation on a quarter-by-quarter basis and will establish and adjust any litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect its assessment of the then current status of litigation.
MOSH Holding. On April 11, 2005, the Company and its principal United States subsidiary, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., were named as defendants in MOSH Holding, L.P. v Pioneer Natural Resources Company; Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.; Woodside Energy (USA) Inc.; and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Trustee of the Mesa Offshore Trust (the Trust), which is before the Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas (334th Judicial District) (the Court).
On April 27, 2009, the Company and all parties in the lawsuit reached an agreement to settle the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company will pay to the Trust the sum of $13 million in exchange for a full and final release of all claims made or that could have been made in the lawsuit. The Company will also contribute to the Trust proceeds obtained from the Companys sale of its complete interest, including its working interest, in the Brazos Block A-39 tract, which will be sold in conjunction with the Trusts sale of its assets.
The settlement agreement is subject to customary conditions, including a condition that the settlement is not final until it is approved by the Court and the Court issues a final, non-appealable judgment disposing of all claims. On August 6, 2009, the Court issued an Interlocutory Judgment approving the settlement agreement. The Interlocutory Judgment, together with the settlement agreement and Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, disposes of all claims and claimants except five individuals who intervened in this lawsuit. Pioneer intends to file a motion seeking dismissal of the intervenors claims. Assuming Pioneers motion is granted, the intervenors claims will be dismissed, and a final judgment will be entered. Once such final judgment becomes non-appealable (or any timely appeals are resolved), then the settlement agreement will become final. Assuming that the intervenors claims are dismissed and no appeals are filed, it is expected that the settlement agreement will become final in the third or fourth quarter of 2009.
Colorado Notice of Violation. On May 13, 2008, the Company was served with a Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order by the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environmental Water Quality Control Division. The Notice alleges violations of stormwater discharge permits in the Companys Raton Basin and Lay Creek

operations, specifically deficiencies in the Companys stormwater management plans, failure to implement and maintain best management practices to protect stormwater runoff and failure to conduct inspections of the stormwater management system. The Company has filed an answer to the Notice asserting defenses to the allegations. The Company does not believe that the outcome of this proceeding will materially impact the Companys liquidity, financial position or future results of operations.
SemGroup accounts receivable. The Company is a creditor in the bankruptcy of SemGroup, L.P. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, SemGroup), which filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on July 22, 2008 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In total, the Company had delinquent receivables from SemGroup of $29.6 million, representing claims for condensate sold pre-petition to SemGroup.
The Company determined that it was probable that the collection of the pre-petition claims would not occur for a protracted period of time and that some of its claims may have been uncollectible. Consequently, the Company recorded a bad debt expense of approximately $19.6 million during the third quarter 2008, which reduced the carrying value of the claims to approximately $10.0 million.
In April 2009, the Company sold all of its pre-petition claims against SemGroup to a third party for approximately $10.1 million, pursuant to a purchase agreement that contains customary representations, warranties and other provisions. If a portion of the claims become impaired due to circumstances arising from a breach of such representations and warranties, then the Company may be required to repurchase such impaired portion of the claims.
Obligations following divestitures. In April 2006, the Company provided the purchaser of its Argentine assets certain indemnifications. The Company remains responsible for certain contingent liabilities related to such indemnifications, subject to defined limitations. The Company does not believe that these obligations, which primarily pertain to matters of litigation, environmental contingencies, royalty obligations and income taxes, are probable of having a material impact on its liquidity, financial position or future results of operations.
The Company has also retained certain liabilities and indemnified buyers for certain matters in connection with other divestitures, including the sale in 2007 of its Canadian assets.
NOTE K. | Earnings Per Share From Continuing Operations |
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations is computed by dividing earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share from continuing operations reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock that are dilutive to income from continuing operations were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the Company. During periods that the Company realizes a loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, securities or other contracts to issue common stock would not be dilutive to loss per share and conversion into common stock is assumed not to occur.
The Companys earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders is computed as income (loss) from continuing operations less participating share-based earnings. The following table is a reconciliation of the Companys income (loss) from continuing operations to income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

(a) | In accordance with FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested restricted stock share awards and restricted stock unit awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends with the Companys common stock. Participating share-based earnings represent the distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company attributable to the participating securities. Unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards do not participate in undistributed net losses as they are not contractually obligated to do so. |
The following table is a reconciliation of basic weighted average common shares outstanding to diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

(a) | In 2007, the Companys board of directors (Board) approved a $750 million share repurchase program of which $355.8 million remained available for purchase as of June 30, 2009. During the first half of 2009 and 2008, the Company purchased $16.3 million and $12.8 million of common stock pursuant to the program, respectively. |
(b) | Diluted earnings per share were calculated using the two-class method for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 because they would have been anti-dilutive to the calculations: 770,531 and 554,816 unvested restricted shares or restricted stock units, respectively; 124,057 and 142,358 outstanding options to purchase the Companys common stock, respectively; and 174,438 and 87,219 performance units, respectively. |
(c) | During January 2008, the Company issued $500 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes. Weighted average common shares outstanding have been increased to reflect the dilutive effect that would have resulted if the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes had qualified for and been converted during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008. The 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes were not dilutive to the per share calculations of 2009. |
NOTE L. | Geographic Operating Segment Information |
The Companys only operations are oil and gas exploration and producing activities; however, the Company is organizationally structured along geographic operating segments or regions. The Company has reportable operations in the United States, South Africa and Tunisia.

NOTE M. | Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties |
Oil and gas properties assessments. During the first quarter of 2009, the downward adjustments to economically recoverable resource potential in the Companys Uinta/Piceance area associated with declines in commodity prices and well performance led to the impairment of the net assets in the Companys Uinta/Piceance area. The Companys estimates of the undiscounted future cash flows attributed to the assets indicated that their carrying amounts were not expected to be recovered. Consequently, the Company recorded a $21.1 million noncash charge during the first quarter of 2009 to reduce the carrying value of the Uinta/Piceance area oil and gas properties. The impairment charge reduced the oil and gas properties carrying values to their estimated fair values, represented by the estimated discounted future cash flows attributable to the assets, which were derived from Level 2 fair value inputs.
The Companys primary assumptions of the estimated future cash flows attributable to oil and gas properties are based on (i) proved reserves and risk-adjusted probable and possible reserves and (ii) managements commodity price outlook.

Goodwill assessments. In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company assesses its goodwill for impairment annually during the third quarter using a July 1 assessment date. The Companys assessment of goodwill during the third quarter of 2008 indicated that it was not impaired. As a result of declines in commodity prices and a significant decline in the Companys market capitalization during the second half of 2008, which the Company considered an event that might indicate impairment to the carrying value of goodwill, the Company has reassessed whether the fair value of its net assets supported the carrying value of the Companys goodwill at its United States reporting unit at December 31, 2008 and quarterly thereafter. The Companys quarterly reassessments have indicated that its goodwill was not impaired.
The Companys assessments of goodwill for impairment include estimates of the fair value of its United States reporting unit and comparisons of those fair value estimates with the United States reporting units carrying value. The Companys estimates of the fair value of its United States reporting unit entailed estimating the fair values of the reporting units assets and liabilities. The primary component of those assets and liabilities is comprised of the reporting units oil and gas properties, whose estimated values were based on the estimated discounted future net cash flows expected to be recovered from the properties. The Companys primary assumptions in preparing the estimated discounted future net cash flows expected to be recovered from the properties are based on (i) proved reserves and risk-adjusted probable reserves, (ii) managements price outlook, including assumptions as to inflation of costs and expenses, (iii) the Companys weighted average cost of capital and (iv) future income tax expense attributable to the net cash flows.
Due to the significant decline in the Companys market capitalization, the Company expanded its assessment of goodwill impairment to consider the fair value of the United States reporting unit as determined using both the previously described discounted future net cash flow approach and a market approach. The Company assessed market capitalization over the 30-day and 60-day periods prior to June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and performed sensitivity valuations of the United States reporting units net assets based on varying valuation combinations of future discounted cash flow assumptions (including assessing future cash flows from proved properties only), market capitalization, control premiums, price inflation assumptions and discount rate assumptions. Those assessments indicated that the United States goodwill was not impaired as of June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company will continue to assess its goodwill for impairment and such assessments may be affected by (i) additional United States reserve adjustments, both positive and negative, (ii) results of drilling activities, (iii) changes in managements outlook on commodity prices and costs and expenses, (iv) changes in the Companys market capitalization, (v) changes in the Companys weighted average cost of capital and (vi) changes in income taxes.
NOTE N. | Volumetric Production Payments |
During 2005, the Company sold 27.8 MMBOE of proved reserves by means of three VPP agreements for net proceeds of $892.6 million, including the assignment of the Companys obligations under certain derivative hedge agreements. Proceeds from the VPPs were used to reduce outstanding indebtedness. The first VPP sold 58 Bcf of gas volumes over an expected five-year term that began in February 2005. The second VPP sold 10.8 MMBbls of oil volumes over an expected seven-year term that began in January 2006. The third VPP sold 6.0 Bcf of gas volumes over an expected 32-month term from May 2005 through December 2007, and 6.2 MMBbls of oil volumes over an expected five-year term that began in January 2006.
The Companys VPPs represent limited-term overriding royalty interests in oil and gas reserves that: (i) entitle the purchaser to receive production volumes over a period of time from specific lease interests, (ii) are free and clear of all associated future production costs and capital expenditures associated with the reserves, (iii) are nonrecourse to the Company (i.e., the purchasers only recourse is to the reserves acquired), (iv) transfer title of the reserves to the purchaser and (v) allow the Company to retain the remaining reserves after the VPPs volumetric quantities have been delivered.
Under SFAS No. 19, Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies, a VPP is considered a sale of proved reserves. As a result, the Company (i) removed the proved reserves associated with the VPPs, (ii) recognized VPP proceeds as deferred revenue which are being amortized on a unit-of-production basis to oil and gas revenues over the term of each VPP, (iii) retained responsibility for 100 percent of the production costs and capital costs related to VPP interests and (iv) no longer recognizes production associated with the VPP volumes.

NOTE Q. | Insurance Claims |
As a result of Hurricane Rita in September 2005, the Companys East Cameron facility, located in the Gulf of Mexico shelf, was destroyed. As of June 30, 2009, the Company estimated that it will cost approximately $16 million to $21 million to complete the reclamation and abandonment of the East Cameron facility. The operations to reclaim and abandon the East Cameron facilities began in January 2007. The estimate of the remaining costs to reclaim and abandon the East Cameron facility is based upon an estimate by the Company.
The remaining estimated cost to reclaim and abandon the East Cameron facilities contains a number of assumptions that could cause the ultimate cost to be higher or lower than the estimate, as there are many uncertainties when working offshore and underwater with damaged equipment and wellbores. The Company has expended approximately $182.0 million on the reclamation and abandonment of the East Cameron facility through June 30, 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a $15.0 million noncash charge to hurricane activity, net in the accompanying statements of operations to increase its estimate of the total costs to reclaim and abandon the East Cameron facility.
The Company filed a claim with its insurance providers regarding the loss at East Cameron. Under the Companys insurance policies, the East Cameron facility had the following coverages: (a) $14 million of scheduled property value for the platform, which was received in 2005, (b) $4 million of scheduled business interruption insurance after a deductible waiting period, which was received in 2006, (c) $100 million of well restoration and safety, in total, for all assets per occurrence and (d) $400 million for debris removal coverage for all assets per occurrence.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company has received $11.6 million from one of its insurance providers related to debris removal, which reduced the Companys recorded receivable. At the present, no recoveries have been reflected related to certain costs associated with plugging and abandonment and the well restoration and safety coverages. In 2007, the Company commenced legal actions against its insurance carriers regarding policy

coverage issues, primarily related to debris removal, certain costs associated with plugging and abandonment, and the well restoration and safety coverages. The Company continues to expect that a substantial portion of the loss will be recoverable from insurance.
