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,” “forecasts,” “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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of equipment, services and personnel required to complete the Company’s operating activities, access to and availability of transportation, processing and refining facilities, Pioneer’s 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 Pioneer’s credit facility and derivative contracts and the purchasers of Pioneer’s oil, NGL and gas production, uncertainties about estimates of reserves and the ability to add proved reserves in the future, the assumptions underlying production forecasts, quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change, international operations and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, this and other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, the Company may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially adverse effect 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 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report and “Part I, Item 1. Business — Competition, Markets and Regulations,” “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors,” “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 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. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as required by law.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

 

Definitions of Certain Terms and Conventions Used Herein

Within this Report, the following terms and conventions have specific meanings:

 

 

“AOCI - Hedging” means accumulated other comprehensive income – net deferred hedge gains, net of tax, a component of the Company’s consolidated stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

“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 six thousand cubic feet of gas to one 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.

 

 

“DD&A” means depletion, depreciation and amortization.

 

 

“GAAP” means accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

 

“LIBOR” means London Interbank Offered Rate, which is a market rate of interest.

 

 

“MBbl” means one thousand Bbls.

 

 

“MBOE” means one thousand BOEs.

 

 

“Mcf” means one thousand cubic feet and is a measure of 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.

 

 

“Mont Belvieu–posted-price” means the daily average natural gas liquids components as priced in Oil Price Information Service (“OPIS”) in the table “U.S. and Canada LP – Gas Weekly Averages” at Mont Belvieu, Texas.

 

 

“NGL” means natural gas liquid.

 

 

“NYMEX” means the New York Mercantile Exchange.

 

 

“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 quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible – from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations – prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.

(i) The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes: (A) The area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (B) Adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data.

(ii) In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons (“LKH”) as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty.

(iii) Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil (“HKO”) elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty.

(iv) Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when: (A) Successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (B) The project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities.

(v) Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.

 

 

“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 employed in the determination of proved reserves and a ten percent discount rate.

 

 

“U.S.” means United States.

 

 

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 Company’s 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.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

NOTE A.    Organization and Nature of Operations

Pioneer Natural Resources Company (“Pioneer” or the “Company”) 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 and South Africa.

NOTE B.    Basis of Presentation

Presentation. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 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 report pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Discontinued operations. During December 2010, the Company committed to a plan to divest 100 percent of the Company’s share holdings in Pioneer Natural Resources Tunisia Ltd. and Pioneer Natural Resources Anaguid Ltd. (referred to in the aggregate as “Pioneer Tunisia”). In February 2011, the Company completed the sale of Pioneer Tunisia to an unaffiliated third party. Accordingly, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of Pioneer Tunisia as discontinued operations held for sale in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and has classified the results of operations of Pioneer Tunisia as discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations (representing a recasting of the Pioneer Tunisia results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which were originally classified as continuing operations). See Note Q for more information regarding the sale of Pioneer Tunisia.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (the “BOEMRE”) paid the Company $2.0 million and $35.3 million, respectively, of interest on excess royalty payments associated with properties that were sold by the Company during 2006. Accordingly, the Company has classified the interest income as components of income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Allowances for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s allowances for doubtful accounts totaled $1.4 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are summarized in the following table:

 

     Three Months  Ended

Ending allowance for doubtful accounts balance

   $ 1,414     $ 1,414  
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Inventories. Inventories used in continuing operations consisted of $247.9 million and $183.4 million of materials and supplies and $4.1 million and $3.9 million of commodities as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s materials and supplies inventory was net of $2.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of valuation reserve allowances. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company estimated that $17.9 million and $13.7 million, respectively, of its materials and supplies inventory would not be utilized or sold within one year. Accordingly, those inventory values have been classified as other noncurrent assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2010, the Company also had inventory in Tunisia totaling $13.6 million that is classified as discontinued operations held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010.

Derivatives and hedging. All derivatives are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at estimated fair value. See Note D for further information regarding the fair value of the Company’s derivatives. Effective February 1, 2009, the Company discontinued hedge accounting on all of its then-existing hedge contracts. Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges prior to the Company’s discontinuance of hedge accounting were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income – net deferred hedge gains, net of tax (“AOCI – Hedging”), in the stockholders’ equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and are being transferred to earnings during the same periods in which the hedged transactions are recognized in the Company’s earnings. Since February 1, 2009, the Company has recognized all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts as gains or losses in the earnings of the periods in which they occur.

The Company classifies the fair value amounts of derivative assets and liabilities executed under master netting arrangements as net current or noncurrent derivative assets or net current or noncurrent derivative liabilities, whichever the case may be, by commodity and counterparty. 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 Company’s and Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P.’s (“Pioneer Southwest,” a majority-owned and consolidated subsidiary) credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves. The credit-adjusted risk-free rate curves for the Company and the counterparties are based on their independent market-quoted credit default swap rate curves plus the United States Treasury Bill yield curve as of the valuation date. Pioneer Southwest’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate curve is based on independent market-quoted forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curves plus 250 basis points, representing Pioneer Southwest’s estimated borrowing rate.

Goodwill. 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 2010, the Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill impairment and determined that there was no impairment.

Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries. The Company owns a 0.1 percent general partner interest and a 61.9 percent limited partner interest in Pioneer Southwest. Pioneer Southwest owns interests in certain oil and gas properties 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.

The Company also owns a majority interest in Sendero Drilling Company, LLC (“Sendero”), which owns and operates land-based drilling rigs in the United States. In addition, 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 $101.0 million and $105.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $20.1 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively (principally related to Pioneer Southwest), compared to net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests of $21.1 million and $36.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company owns a 50.1 percent interest in EFS Midstream LLC (“EFS Midstream”), which owns and operates natural gas and liquids gathering, treating and transportation assets in the Eagle Ford Shale area of South Texas.

The Company accounts for the EFS Midstream investment under the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Under the equity method, the Company’s investment in unconsolidated affiliates is increased for investments made and the investor’s share of the investee’s net income, and decreased for distributions received, the carrying value of investor’s interests sold and the investor’s share of the investee’s net losses. The Company’s equity interest in the net income of EFS Midstream is recorded in interest and other income in the Company’s accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-based compensation. For stock-based compensation equity awards granted or modified, compensation expense is being recognized in the Company’s financial statements on a straight line basis over the awards’ vesting periods based on their fair values on the dates of grant. The amount of compensation expense recognized at any date is at least equal to the portion of the measurement date (normally the grant date) value of the award that is vested at that date. The Company utilizes (i) the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

(ii) the prior day’s closing stock price on the date of grant for the fair value of restricted stock, restricted stock units, partnership unit awards or phantom unit awards that are expected to be settled wholly in the Company’s common stock or Pioneer Southwest common units (“Equity Awards”), (iii) the Monte Carlo simulation method for the fair value of performance unit awards and (iv) a probabilistic forecasted fair value method for series B unit awards issued by Sendero.

Stock-based compensation liability awards are awards that are expected to be settled wholly or partially in cash on their vesting dates, rather than in shares or units (“Liability Awards”). Stock-based Liability Awards are recorded as accounts payable – affiliates based on the fair value of the services that have been rendered on the unvested portions of the awards on the balance sheet date. The fair values of Liability Awards are updated at each balance sheet date and changes in the fair values of the unvested portions of the awards for which services have been rendered are recorded as increases or decreases to compensation expense. As of June 30, 2011, accounts payable – due to affiliates includes $3.9 million of liabilities attributable to the Liability Awards.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $13.8 million and $26.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation costs for all plans, as compared to $10.5 million and $20.6 million for the same respective periods of 2010. As of June 30, 2011, there was $93.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share- and unit-based compensation plan awards, including $21.6 million attributable to Liability Awards. 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.

The Company’s issued shares, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, do not include 536,775 and 825,796 common shares, respectively, associated with unvested stock-based compensation awards that have voting rights.

New accounting pronouncements. During December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-28, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350).” ASU No. 2010-28 modifies step one of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, requiring that an entity perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for those reporting units. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2010-28 effective January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-28 had no effect on the Company’s goodwill balance. See “Goodwill” above for more information about the Company’s policy for assessing impairment of its goodwill.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 amended ASC 820 to converge the fair value measurement guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Certain of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, while other amendments change a particular principle in ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires additional fair value disclosures. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

(Unaudited)

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 “Presentation of Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).” To increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income, ASU 2011-05 requires comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C.    Exploratory Costs

The Company capitalizes exploratory well and project costs until a determination is made that the well or project has either found proved reserves, is impaired or is sold. The Company’s capitalized exploratory well and project costs are presented in proved properties in the consolidated balance sheets. If the exploratory well or project is determined to be impaired, the impaired costs are charged to exploration and abandonments expense.

The following table reflects the Company’s capitalized exploratory well and project activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011:

NOTE D.    Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements

In accordance with GAAP, fair value measurements are 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 company’s 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 Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

interest rate derivative contracts as of June 30, 2011 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 Company’s interest rate derivative asset and liability measurements represent Level 2 inputs in the hierarchy priority.

Commodity derivatives. The Company’s commodity derivatives represent oil, NGL, gas and diesel swap contracts, collar contracts and collar contracts with short puts (which are also known as three-way collar contracts). The Company’s oil, gas and diesel swap, collar and three-way collar derivative contract asset and liability measurements represent Level 2 inputs in the hierarchy priority and NGL derivative contract asset and liability measurements represent Level 3 inputs in the hierarchy priority.

Oil derivatives. The Company’s oil derivatives are swap, collar and three-way collar contracts for notional barrels (“Bbls”) of oil at fixed (in the case of swap contracts) or interval (in the case of collar and three-way collar contracts) New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) oil prices. The asset and liability values attributable to the Company’s oil derivatives were determined 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 Company’s collar contracts were determined based on average volatility factors provided by certain independent brokers who are active in buying and selling oil options and were corroborated by market-quoted volatility factors.

NGL derivatives. The Company’s NGL derivatives include swap and collar contracts for notional blended Bbls of Mont Belvieu-posted-price NGLs, Conway-posted-price NGLs or NGL component prices per Bbl. The asset and liability values attributable to the Company’s NGL derivatives were determined based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active market-quoted NGL component prices and (iii) the applicable credit-adjusted risk-free rate yield curve. The implied rates of volatility inherent in the Company’s collar contracts were determined based on average volatility factors provided by certain independent brokers who are active in buying and selling NGL options and were corroborated by market-quoted volatility factors.

Gas derivatives. The Company’s gas derivatives are swap, collar and three-way collar contracts for notional volumes of gas (expressed in millions of British thermal units “MMBtus”) contracted at various posted price indexes, including NYMEX Henry Hub (“HH”) 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 Company’s gas derivative contracts were determined based on (i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active NYMEX futures price quotes for HH gas, (iii) independent market-quoted forward index prices, (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.

(“NOLs”) and other deferred tax attributes in the U.S., state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions will be utilized prior to their expiration. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s valuation allowances were $9.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company also had a $26.5 million valuation allowance related to Tunisia operations, which was classified as discontinued operations held for sale.

ASC 740 also 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, 2011, the Company had no significant unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is 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 2005. As of June 30, 2011, no adjustments had been proposed in any jurisdiction that would have a significant effect on the Company’s liquidity, future results of operations or financial position.

NOTE F.    Long-term Debt

Credit Facility. During March 2011, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of financial institutions that matures in March 2016, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility replaces the Company’s Amended and Restated 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement entered into in April 2007 (the “Expired Credit Facility”) and provides for aggregate loan commitments of $1.25 billion. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility and $65.1 million of undrawn letters of credit, all of which were commitments under the Credit Facility, leaving the Company with $1.2 billion of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be in the form of revolving loans or swing line loans. Aggregate outstanding swing line loans may not exceed $150 million. 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 Wells Fargo Bank, National Association 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 0.5 percent plus a defined alternate base rate spread margin (“ABR Margin”), which is currently one percent based on the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 0.125 percent. The Company also pays commitment fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility that are determined by the Company’s debt rating (currently 0.375 percent).

The Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, which include the maintenance of a ratio of total debt to book capitalization less intangible assets, accumulated other comprehensive income and certain noncash asset impairments not to exceed .60 to 1.0. The covenants also include the maintenance of a ratio of the net present value of the Company’s oil and gas properties to total debt of at least 1.75 to 1.0 until the Company achieves an investment grade rating by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poors Ratings Group, Inc.

As of June 30, 2011, the Company and Pioneer Southwest were in compliance with all of their debt covenants.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company accounted for the entry into the Credit Facility as an extinguishment of the Expired Credit Facility. Associated therewith, the Company recorded a $2.4 million loss on extinguishment of debt to write off the unamortized issuance costs of the Company’s Expired Credit Facility, which is included in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (see Note P).

Convertible senior notes. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had $480 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding. The 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, using a net share settlement process, into a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock pursuant to a formula.

The Company’s stock price during March 2011 caused the Company’s 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes to become convertible at the option of the holders during the three months ended June 30, 2011. Associated therewith, holders of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes tendered $70 thousand principal amount of the notes for conversion during the three months ended June 30, 2011. During July and August 2011, the Company paid the holders a total of $71 thousand of cash and issued 340 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During June 2011, the Company’s stock price performance did not qualify the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes for conversion at the option of the holders for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Company’s 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes may become convertible in future quarters depending on the Company’s stock price performance or under certain other conditions. If all of the 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes had been converted on June 30, 2011, the note holders would have received $479.9 million of cash and approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was calculated over the last 20 trading days of June and valued at $158.8 million.

NOTE G.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes commodity derivative contracts to (i) reduce the effect of price volatility on the commodities the Company produces and sells or consumes, (ii) support the Company’s 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 Company’s indebtedness and forward currency exchange rate agreements to reduce the effect of exchange rate volatility.

Oil prices. All material physical sales contracts governing the Company’s oil production are tied directly or indirectly to NYMEX WTI oil prices. The following table sets forth the volumes in Bbls outstanding as of June 30, 2011 under the Company’s oil derivative contracts and the weighted average oil prices per Bbl for those contracts:

AOCI - Hedging. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, AOCI – Hedging represented net deferred gains of $2.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively. The AOCI – Hedging balance as of June 30, 2011 was comprised of $13.4 million of net deferred gains on the effective portions of discontinued commodity hedges, $1.8 million of net deferred losses on the effective portions of discontinued interest rate hedges and $1.8 million of associated net deferred tax provisions, reduced by $6.9 million of AOCI – Hedging net deferred gains attributable to and classified as noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries.

During the twelve months ending June 30, 2012, the Company expects to reclassify $15.0 million of AOCI – Hedging net deferred gains to oil revenues (including $7.0 million related to noncontrolling interests) and $299 thousand of AOCI – Hedging net deferred losses to interest expense. The Company also expects to reclassify $2.8 million of net deferred income tax provisions associated with hedge derivatives during the twelve months ending June 30, 2012 from AOCI – Hedging to income tax expense. For the remaining six months of 2011, the Company expects to reclassify deferred gains on discontinued commodity hedges of $16.6 million to oil revenues. During 2012, the Company expects to reclassify deferred losses on commodity hedges of $3.2 million to oil revenues. The aforementioned $1.8 million of net deferred hedge losses on the effective portion of interest rate hedges will be transferred from AOCI-Hedging to interest expense ratably through April 2018.

NOTE H.    Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the future plugging and abandonment of wells and related facilities. Market risk premiums associated with asset retirement obligations are estimated to represent a component of the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate that is utilized in the calculations of asset retirement obligations.

These plans had no assets as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. The participants of the predecessor plans are not current employees of the Company.

The following table reconciles changes in the Company’s unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

NOTE J.    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal actions. In addition to the legal action described below, the Company is 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 Company’s 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.

Investigation by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (the “AOGCC”). During the second quarter of 2010, the AOGCC commenced an investigation into allegations by a former Pioneer employee regarding the Company’s Oooguruk facility on the North Slope of Alaska. Among the allegations are claims that the Company did not have authorization to inject certain non-hazardous substances into its enhanced oil recovery well, that the Company mishandled disposal of waste products and that the Company’s operating practices are harmful to the project’s oil reservoirs. Upon initially becoming aware of the allegations, the Company informed the AOGCC and other relevant federal, state and local agencies and commenced its own investigation, which confirmed injections of non-hazardous fluids into the Oooguruk enhanced oil recovery well without prior authorizations to do so. The results of the Company’s investigation were reported to the agencies. In December 2010, the AOGCC investigator submitted a report outlining its findings, which (i) found that the Company’s operating practices have not harmed the project’s oil reservoirs and (ii) raised certain regulatory compliance issues, all of which the Company previously reported or has since taken actions to remedy. Although the Company does not know at this time what action the AOGCC will take in response to the report, based on the facts as known to date, the Company believes that compliance with any order or other action of the AOGCC will not materially affect the Company’s liquidity, financial position or future results of operations.

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, including matters of litigation, environmental contingencies, royalty obligations and income taxes. 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 and the February 2011 sale of Pioneer Tunisia. The Company does not believe that these obligations are probable of having a material impact on its liquidity, financial position or future results of operations.

NOTE K.    Net Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the two-class method of calculating net income (loss) per share because certain of the Company’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ unvested share-based awards qualify as participating securities. Participating securities participate in the Company’s dividend distributions and are assumed to participate in the Company’s undistributed income proportionate to weighted average outstanding common shares, but are not assumed to participate in the Company’s net losses because they are not contractually obligated to do so. Accordingly, allocations of earnings to participating securities are included in the Company’s calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and net income attributable to common stockholders.

During periods in which the Company realizes a loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders, securities or other contracts to issue common stock would be dilutive to loss per share from continuing operations; therefore, conversion into common stock is assumed not to occur.

NOTE M.     Volumetric Production Payments

The Company’s remaining VPP represents a limited-term overriding royalty interest in oil reserves that: (i) entitles the purchaser to receive production volumes over a period of time from specific lease interests, (ii) is free and clear of all associated future production costs and capital expenditures associated with the reserves, (iii) is nonrecourse to the Company (i.e., the purchaser’s 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 VPP’s volumetric quantities have been delivered.

At the inception of the VPP agreement, the Company (i) removed the proved reserves associated with the VPP, (ii) recognized VPP proceeds as deferred revenue which are being amortized on a unit-of-production basis to oil revenues over the remaining term of the 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.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded $296 thousand and $2.5 million of net losses on disposition of assets from continuing operations, respectively, as compared to $7.6 million and $24.6 million, respectively, of net gains from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company’s net losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are primarily associated with sales of excess materials and supplies inventory.
