The Export Ban Threatens to Strand U.S. Crude Downstream industry is responding to increased light production — Announced refinery and splitter investments, increased refinery utilization — Product exports are booming — Increased exports of crude to Canada for refining
But production will soon outpace downstream industry responses — Nearly all light sweet imports have been displaced — Crude imports from Canada are increasing (including for re-export) — Heavy or medium to light refining slate adjustments economically limited
The Gulf Coast is becoming saturated with domestic production
Similar to Cushing in 2012, the U.S. will become a globally stranded location unless there is export relief — Producers will likely experience large price differentials to Brent — Supply glut will drive prices below costs for large number of producers
— A far-reaching discount blow-out clearly looms on the horizon
31
The Foreseeable Consequences of Inaction Producers will be forced to lay down rigs
Production growth will stall and production will quickly decline A substantial portion of domestic natural gas production is associated with oil production – as crude production declines, so will natural gas supplies Hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk – Industry supports 9.8 MM jobs and will create up to 1.7 million new jobs by 2020 (McKinsey)
Less tax revenue for federal, state and local governments – Industry delivers $85 million per day in revenue to the federal government
U.S. trade deficit will widen as foreign light crude oil imports resume – If ban is lifted, oil and gas trade balance forecasted to improve from $354 billion deficit in 2011 to $5 billion surplus in 2020 (Citi)
Reduced gasoline prices to the U.S. consumer (Resources for the Future)

Certain Reserve Information Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors --The SEC prohibits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, from disclosing estimates of oil or gas resources other than “reserves,” as that term is defined by the SEC. In this news release, Pioneer includes estimates of quantities of oil and gas using certain terms, such as “resource potential,” “net recoverable resource potential,” “resource base,” “estimated ultimate recovery,” “EUR,” “oil-in-place” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves, which terms include quantities of oil and gas that may not meet the SEC’s definitions of proved, probable and possible reserves, and which the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit Pioneer from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being recovered by Pioneer. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC. Such filings are available from the Company at 5205 N. O'Connor Blvd., Suite 200, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations, and the Company’s website at www.pxd.com. These filings also can be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
