Exhibit 99.1
Forward-Looking Statements Except for historical information contained herein, the statements, charts and graphs included in this exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward- looking statements and the business prospects of Pioneer are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause Pioneer's actual results in future periods to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, volatility of commodity prices, product supply and demand, competition, the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof, other government regulation or action, third party approvals, international operations and associated international political and economic instability, litigation, the costs and results of drilling and operations, availability of drilling equipment, Pioneer's ability to replace reserves, implement its business plans (including its plan to repurchase stock and its plan to form Pioneer Southwest Energy Partners L.P. and offer securities representing interests therein) or complete its development projects as scheduled, access to and cost of capital, uncertainties about estimates of reserves, the assumptions underlying production forecasts, quality of technical data, environmental and weather risks, and acts of war or terrorism. These and other risks are described in Pioneer's 10-K and 10-Q Reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Pioneer may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially adverse a impact on it. Pioneer undertakes no duty to publicly update these statements except as required by law.


 

Finding & Development Costs and Reserve Replacement "All-in F&D costs per BOE" means total costs incurred divided by the summation of annual proved reserves, on a BOE basis, attributable to revisions of previous estimates, purchases of minerals-in-place and discoveries and extensions. Consistent with industry practice, future capital costs to develop proved undeveloped reserves are not included in costs incurred. "Organic F&D costs per BOE" means costs incurred excluding acquisitions divided by the summation of annual proved reserves, on a BOE basis, attributable to revisions of previous estimates, and discoveries and extensions. Consistent with industry practice, future capital costs to develop proved undeveloped reserves are not included in costs incurred. "Reserve replacement" is the summation of annual proved reserves, on a BOE basis, attributable to revisions of previous estimates, purchases of minerals- in-place and discoveries and extensions divided by annual production of oil, NGLs and natural gas, on a BOE basis.


 

Certain Reserve Information Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors -- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. Pioneer uses certain terms included in this exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K, such as "estimated", "resource potential", "reserve potential", "2P", "estimated ultimate recovery (EUR)" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Pioneer from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being recovered by Pioneer. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Form 10-K, file No. 1-13245, and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 14, 2008, file No. 1-13245, and available from us at Investor Relations, 5205 N. O'Connor Blvd., Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75039. You can also obtain these forms from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
