Definitions of Oil and Gas Terms and Conventions Used Herein
Within this Report, the following oil and gas terms and conventions
have specific meanings: "Bbl" means a standard barrel containing 42 United
States gallons; "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; "Btu" means British thermal unit and is a measure of the amount of energy
required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit;
"LIBOR" means London Interbank Offered Rate, which is a market rate of interest;
"MMBtu" means one million Btu's; "MBbl" means one thousand Bbls; "MBOE" means
one thousand BOE; "Mcf" means one thousand cubic feet and is a measure of
natural gas volume; "MMcf" means one million cubic feet; "NGL" means natural gas
liquid; "NYMEX" means The New York Mercantile Exchange; "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.
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 NGL.
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 Pioneer
Natural Resources 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;
and, all currency amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars.

(Unaudited)
NOTE A. Organization and Nature of Operations
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the "Company") is a Delaware
corporation whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange. The Company is an oil and gas exploration and production company with
ownership interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States,
Argentina, Canada, Gabon, South Africa and Tunisia.
NOTE B. Basis of Presentation
and Use of Estimates
Basis of Presentation
Presentation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of March 31,June 30, 2003 and for the three and
six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2003 and 2002 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 amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("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, 2002.
Adoption of SFAS 143. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 amended Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 19, "Financial Accounting and Reporting by
Oil and Gas Producing Companies" ("SFAS 19") to require that the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in
which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Under
the provisions of SFAS 143, asset retirement obligations are capitalized as part
of the carrying value of the long-lived asset. Under the provisions of SFAS 19,
asset retirement obligations were recognized using a cost-accumulation approach.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 143, the Company recorded significant asset
retirement obligations through the unit-of-production method, except for asset
retirement obligations that were assumed in business combinations, which were
recorded at their estimated fair values on their dates of acquisition.
The adoption of SFAS 143 resulted in a January 1, 2003 cumulative effect
adjustment to record (i) a $13.8 million increase in the carrying values of
proved properties, (ii) a $26.3 million decrease in accumulated depreciation,
depletion, and amortization of property, plant and equipment, (iii) a $1.0
million increase in current abandonment liabilities, (iv) a $22.4 million
increase in noncurrent abandonment liabilities and (v) a $1.3 million increase
in deferred income tax liabilities. The net impact of items (i) through (v) was
to record a gain of $15.4 million, net of tax, as a cumulative effect adjustment
of a change in accounting principle in the Company's consolidated statements of
operations upon adoption on January 1, 2003. See Note E for additional
information regarding the Company's asset retirement obligations.
The following pro forma data summarizes the Company's net income (loss)
and net
income (loss) per share as if the Company had adopted the provisions of SFAS 143 on
January 1, 2002, including an associated pro forma asset retirement obligation
on that date of $60.2 million:

Adoption of SFAS 145. On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted the
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, "Rescission of FASB
Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical
Corrections" ("SFAS 145"). Prior to SFAS 145, gains or losses on the early
extinguishment of debt were required to be classified in a company's periodic
consolidated statements of operations as extraordinary gains or losses, net of
associated income taxes, after the determination of income or loss from
continuing operations. SFAS 145 requires, except in the case of events or
transactions of a highly unusual and infrequent nature, that gains or losses
from the early extinguishment of debt be classified, on both a prospective and
retrospective basis, as components of a company's income or loss from continuing
operations. The adoption of SFAS 145 did not affect the Company's financial
position or liquidity. Under the provisions of SFAS 145, gains or losses from
the early extinguishment of debt are recognized in the Company's consolidated
statements of operations, except in the case of events or transactions of a
highly unusual and infrequent nature, as components of other income or other
expense and are included in the determination of the income (loss) from
continuing operations. Accordingly, extraordinary losses from the early
extinguishment of debt of $2.8 million and $19.5 million recorded during the
three month periods ended June 30 and September 30,2002,30, 2002, respectively, have
been reclassified to other expense.
Stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation granted under it's the long-termlong- term incentive plan using the
intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations.
Stock-based compensation expenses associated with option grants were not
recognized in the net income (loss) of the three and six month periods ended March 31,June 30,
2003 and 2002, as all options granted had exercise prices equal to the market
value of the underlying common stock on the dates of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earningsnet income per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-BasedStock- Based Compensation" to
stock-based employee compensation:

comprised of $2.0 million of settlement gains attributable to the period from
February 2003 through the date of termination and $9.4 million attributable to
the fair value, on the date of termination, of the remaining term of the
interest rate swap contracts. The $9.4 million of proceeds attributable to the

The terms of the fair value hedges described above perfectly matched the
terms of the underlying senior notes. The Company did not exclude any component
of the derivatives' gains or losses from the measurement of hedge effectiveness.
Cash flow hedges. The Company utilizes, from time to time, commodity swap
and collar contracts to (i) reduce the effect of price volatility on the
commodities the Company produces and sells, (ii) support the Company's annual
capital budgeting and expenditure plans and (iii) reduce commodity price risk
associated with certain capital projects. The Company has also utilized interest
rate swap agreements to reduce the effect of interest rate volatility on the
Company's variable rate line of credit indebtedness and forward currency
exchange agreements to reduce the effect of U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar
exchange rate volatility.
Oil. All material sales contracts governing the Company's oil production
have been tied directly or indirectly to the New York Mercantile Exchange
prices. The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding oil hedge

March 31,During the six month periods ended June 30,
2003 (Unaudited)and 2002, the Company recognized other expenses of $2.3 million and $346
thousand, respectively, related to the ineffective portion of its cash flow

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") - deferred hedge
gains and losses,(losses), net. As of March 31,June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, "AOCI - deferred
hedge gains (losses), net" represented net deferred losses of $56.5$152.8 million and
net deferred gains of $9.6 million, respectively. The AOCI"AOCI - deferred hedge
gains net(losses), net" balance as of March 31,June 30, 2003 was comprised of $154.7$188.3 million
of unrealized deferred hedge losses on the effective portions of open commodity
cash flow hedges and $98.2$35.5 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges. The decrease in AOCI"AOCI - deferred hedge gains net(losses), net" during the
threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2003 was primarily attributable to increases in future
commodity prices relative to the commodity prices stipulated in the hedge
agreements, offset by the reclassification of deferred hedge losses to net
income as derivatives matured by their terms. The unrealized deferred hedge
gains and
losses associated with open cash flow hedges remain subject to market price
fluctuations until the positions are either settled under the terms of the hedge
agreements or terminated prior to settlement. The net deferred gains and losses
on
terminated cash flow hedges are fixed.
During the twelve month period ending March 31,June 30, 2004, the Company expects
to reclassify $103.1$105.4 million of net deferred losses associated with open cash
flow hedges and $64.1$12.3 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges from AOCI"AOCI - deferred hedge gains net(losses), net" to oil and gas revenue.

NOTE F. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal actions. The Company is party to various legal actions incidental to
its business, including, but not limited to, the proceedings described below.
The majority of these lawsuits primarily involve claims for damages arising from
oil and gas leases and ownership interest disputes. The Company believes that
the ultimate disposition of these legal actions will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, capital
resources or future results of operations. The Company will continue to evaluate
its litigation matters on a quarter-by-quarterquarter-by- quarter basis and will adjust its
litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect the then current status of
litigation.
Alford. The Company is party to a 1993 class action lawsuit filed in the
26th Judicial District Court of Stevens County, Kansas by two classes of royalty
owners, one for each of the Company's gathering systems connected to the
Company's Satanta gas plant. The case was relatively inactive for several years.
In early 2000, the plaintiffs amended their pleadings to add claims regarding
the field compression installed by the Company in the 1990's. The lawsuit now
has two material claims. First, the plaintiffs assert that the expenses related
to the field compression are a "cost of production" for which plaintiffs cannot
be charged their proportionate share under the applicable oil and gas leases.
Second, the plaintiffs claim they are entitled to 100 percent of the value of
the helium extracted at the Company's Satanta gas plant. If the plaintiffs were
to prevail on the above two claims in their entirety, it is possible that the
Company's liability could reach $30$32.5 million, plus prejudgment interest.
However, the Company believes it has valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims, has
paid the plaintiffs properly under their respective oil and gas leases, and
intends to vigorously defend itself.
The Company believes the cost of the field compression is not a "cost of
production", but is rather an expense of transporting the gas to the Company's
Satanta gas plant for processing, where valuable hydrocarbon liquids and helium
are extracted from the gas. The plaintiffs benefit from such extractions and the
Company believes that charging the plaintiffs with their proportionate share of
such transportation and processing expenses is consistent with Kansas law. The
15

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
Company has also vigorously defended against plaintiffs' claims to 100 percent
of the value of the helium extracted, and believes that in accordance with
applicable law, it has properly accounted to the plaintiffs for their fractional
royalty share of the helium under the specified royalty clauses of the
respective oil and gas leases.
The factual evidence in the case was presented to the 26th Judicial
District Court without a jury in December 2001. Oral arguments were heard by the
court in April 2002, and although the court has not yet entered a judgment or
findings, it could do so at any time. The Company strongly denies the existence
of any material underpayment to plaintiffs and believes it presented strong
evidence at trial to support its positions. The Company has not yet determined
the amount of damages, if any, that would be payable if the lawsuit was
determined adversely to the Company. Although the amount of any resulting
liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations for the quarterly reporting period in which such liability is
recorded, the Company does not expect that any such liability will have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position as a whole or on
its liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations.
Kansas ad valorem tax. The Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 ("NGPA") allows
a "severance, production or similar" tax to be included as an add-on, over and
above the maximum lawful price for gas. Based on a Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") ruling that Kansas ad valorem tax was such a tax, one of the
Company's predecessor entities collected the Kansas ad valorem tax in addition
to the otherwise maximum lawful price. The FERC's ruling was appealed to the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ("D.C. Circuit"),
which held in June 1988 that the FERC failed to provide a reasoned basis for its
findings and remanded the case to the FERC for further consideration.
15
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2003
(Unaudited)
On December 1, 1993, the FERC issued an order reversing its prior ruling,
but limiting the effect of its decision to Kansas ad valorem taxes for sales
made on or after June 28, 1988. The FERC clarified the effective date of its
decision by an order dated May 18, 1994. The order clarified that the effective
date applies to tax bills rendered after June 28, 1988, not sales made on or
after that date. Numerous parties filed appeals on the FERC's action in the D.C.
Circuit. Various gas producers challenged the FERC's orders on two grounds: (1)
that the Kansas ad valorem tax, properly understood, does qualify for
reimbursement under the NGPA; and (2) the FERC's ruling should, in any event,
have been applied prospectively. Other parties challenged the FERC's orders on
the grounds that the FERC's ruling should have been applied retroactively to
December 1, 1978, the date of the enactment of the NGPA and producers should
have been required to pay refunds accordingly.
The D.C. Circuit issued its decision on August 2, 1996, which holds that
producers must make refunds of all Kansas ad valorem tax collected with respect
to production since October 4, 1983, as opposed to June 28, 1988. Petitions for
rehearing were denied on November 6, 1996. Various gas producers subsequently
filed a petition for writ of certiori with the United States Supreme Court
seeking to limit the scope of the potential refunds to tax bills rendered on or
after June 28, 1988 (the effective date originally selected by the FERC).
Williams Natural Gas Company filed a cross-petition for certiori seeking to
impose refund liability back to December 1, 1978. Both petitions were denied on
May 12, 1997.
The Company and other producers filed petitions for adjustment with the
FERC on June 24, 1997. The Company was seeking waiver or set-off from FERC with
respect to that portion of the refund associated with (i) non-recoupable
royalties, (ii) non-recoupable Kansas property taxes based, in part, upon the
higher prices collected, and (iii) interest for all periods. On September 10,
1997, FERC denied this request, and on October 10, 1997, the Company and other
producers filed a request for rehearing. Pipelines were given until November 10,
1997 to file claims on refunds sought from producers and refund claims totaling
approximately $30.2 million were made against the Company. Through March 31,June 30,
2003, the Company has settled $21.7 million of the original claim amounts. As of
March 31,June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Company had on deposit $10.6 million,
including accrued interest, in an escrow account and had corresponding
16

obligations for the remaining claim recorded in other current liabilities in the
accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company believes that the escrowed
amounts, plus accrued interest, will be sufficient to settle the remaining
claims.
NOTE G. Income (Loss) Per Share Before Cumulative Effect of Change in
Accounting Principle
Basic income (loss) per share before cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle is computed by dividing income (loss) before cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. The computation of diluted net income
(loss) per share before
cumulative effect of change in accounting principle reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
that are dilutive to net income 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.
The following table is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted
average shares outstanding for the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30,
2003 and 2002:

Domestic. The Company spent $227.6$301.4 million during the first threesix months of
2003 on acquisition, drilling and seismic activities in the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf
Coast, Permian Basin and Mid-Continent areas of the United States.
Gulf of Mexico/Gulf Coast Area. In the Gulf of Mexico/Gulf Coast area,
the Company spent $170.3$206.1 million of acquisition, drilling and seismic capital.
In the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Company completed its Falcon field
development in mid-March 2003 and, as discussed above, purchased the remaining
25 percent working interest in Falcon and related prospects that the Company did
not already own. The Company has two major producing properties
and two major development projects that remain in
progress as of March 31,June 30, 2003:
o Canyon Express - The TotalFinaElf-operated Aconcagua and the
Marathon-operated Camden Hills discoveries in Mississippi Canyon began
producing in September 2002. Associated with the start-up of this project,
several operational and mechanical difficulties were encountered which
delayed achieving full production rates of 110 to 120 MMcf of gas per day
until late January 2003.
o Falcon - The Company-operated Falcon field started producing in mid-March
2003. On March 28, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 25 percent
working interest that the Company did not already own in 32 blocks in the
Falcon area, including the Falcon field, the Harrier field and surrounding
satellite prospects. To accommodate incremental Harrier field production
and potential throughput associated with planned exploration, an additional
parallel pipeline connecting the Falcon field to the Falcon platform on the
Gulf of Mexico shelf will be added, doubling its capacity to 400 MMcf of
gas per day. As is further discussed below, the Company expects first gas
production from Harrier field in late 2003 or early 2004 with combined
daily gas production from Falcon field and Harrier field expected to reach
275 MMcf per day.

o Devils Tower - The Dominion-operated Devils Tower development project
in Mississippi Canyon was sanctioned in 2001 as a spar development
project with the owners leasing a spar from a third party for the
life of the field. The hull of the spar was constructed in Indonesia
and was successfully transported to the United States during the
first quarter of 2003 where the topsides will be added during the
third quarter of 2003. The spar has slots for eight dry tree wells
and up to three subsea tie-back wells and is capable of handling 60
MBbls of oil per day and 60 MMcf of gas per day. Eight Devils Tower
wells and one subsea tie-back well have been drilled and are awaiting
completion.completion, while a second subsea tie-back development well is
planned to be drilled during the fourth quarter of 2003. Devils Tower
production is scheduled to begin in earlythe first quarter of 2004 and
will be phased in as the wells are individually completed from the
spar. Pioneer holds a 25 percent working interest in the projects.
The Company also has plans to drill another exploratory well by the
end of 2003 that would be completed as a third subsea tie-back well,
if successful.
o Harrier - The Company discovered the Harrier field during the first
quarter of 2003, encountering over 350 feet of gas-bearing sand in
a single zone. Pioneer operates the block with a 100 percent
working interest, subsequent to the acquisition discussed above, and
expects to develop26
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
is developing the field as a single-well subsea tie-back to the
Falcon field facilities which were designed to be expandable. FirstTo
accommodate incremental Harrier field production and potential
throughput associated with planned exploration, an additional
parallel pipeline connecting the Falcon field to the Falcon platform
on the Gulf of Mexico shelf is being added, doubling its capacity to
400 MMcf of gas per day. The Company expects first gas production
from the Harrier field is
anticipated in late 2003 or early 2004.2004 with combined daily gas production
from Falcon field and Harrier field expected to reach 275 MMcf per
day.
The Devils Tower and Harrier field projects were impacted by recent
severe weather and strong currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Although the severe
weather and strong currents did not result in meaningful change to the projects'
schedules, future weather-related delays, if extensive, may result in
unavoidable schedule changes.
In addition to the development projects described above in the deepwater
Gulf of Mexico, the Company drilled two exploratory dry holes in the Falcon area
during the first quarter and plans to drill two additional exploration prospects
there later this year.year in conjunction with the completion of the Harrier well. If
successful, these Falcon area prospects could also be tied back to the Falcon
field to utilize excess pipeline and processing capacity. Additionally, the
Company has a multi-year inventory of prospects on thecontrols 32 blocks it holds in the area.
During January 2003, the Company announced a joint exploration agreement
with Woodside for a two-year drilling program over the shallow-water Texas shelf
region of the Gulf of Mexico. Under the agreement, Woodside has taken a 50
percent working interest in 47 offshore exploration blocks operated by the
Company. The agreement covers eight prospects and 19 leads and includes five
exploratory wells to be drilled in 2003 and three in 2004. Most of the wells to
be drilled under the agreement will target gas plays below 15,000 feet. The
eight wells to be drilled by the parties in 2003 and 2004 are on prospects
generated and leased by the Company since 1997. The first welltwo wells under this
joint agreement was spud during the first quarter of 2003.were unsuccessful. The third well is still in progress and the results
are expected to be known in MayAugust 2003. Additionally, the Company and Woodside
will evaluate shallower gas prospects on the Gulf of Mexico shelf on other
blocks covered by the leases for potential inclusion in the drilling program.
In the onshore Gulf Coast region of the United States, the Company has
concentrated its drilling efforts in the Pawnee field in South Texas, where
three development wells and one extension well that was in progress at year end was completed and two wells were successfully drilledcompleted
during the first quarterhalf of 2003. The Company spud an
extension well to the Pawnee field subsequent to quarter end and plans to drill an additional threefour
development wells and two extension wells during the remainder of 2003.
Alaska. In Alaska, the Company spent $26.6$33.4 million during the first threesix
months of 2003 to drill three exploration wells on the NW Kuparuk prospect to
test a possible extension of the productive sands in the Kuparuk River field
into the shallow waters offshore. Although all three of the wells found the
sands filled with oil, they were too thin to be considered commercial. The wells
also encountered thick sections of oil-bearing Jurassic-aged sands. The first
well flowed at a sustained rate of approximately 1,300 barrels per day. The test
results are currently being evaluated to determine the commercial viability of
the Jurassic reservoir.
Permian Basin area. In the Permian Basin area, the Company spent $19.4$34.1
million during the first threesix months of 2003 primarily on development drilling in
the Spraberry oil trend where thefield. The Company plans to drill up toapproximately 150 wells in the
Spraberry field during 2003.
Mid-Continent area. InI n the Mid-Continent area, the Company spent $11.3$27.8
million during the first threesix months of 2003, primarily in the West Panhandle
field where the Company plans to drill up toapproximately 100 wells this year. The
Company also plans to drill up toapproximately 30 Hugoton wells later this year.

Argentina. In Argentina, the Company spent $10.0$26.1 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first threesix months of 2003. The majority
of costs was spent onto drill extension and development drillingwells targeting oil
reserves in the Neuquen Basin.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
Canada. In Canada, the Company spent $37.3$36.7 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first threesix months of 2003, primarily in
the Chinchaga, Martin Creek and Ladyfern areas that are only accessible for
drilling during the winter months. Pioneer tested several shallow gas plays
finding multiple gas-bearing zones based on open-hole logs and mud log shows in
several wells. However, unseasonably warm weather resulted in a very short
drilling season in Canada, and approximately eight of the wells drilled will
have to be tested during next year's winter drilling season. Three wells were
drilled to test the Slave Point formation in the Ladyfern field area. One well
was successfulunsuccessful and has been connected to a production pipeline, one well istwo wells were unsuccessful in the Slave Point formation,
but are being evaluated and one well was unsuccessful.for uphole potential in another formation.
Africa. In Africa, the Company spent $10.9$30.9 million of acquisition,
drilling and seismic capital during the first threesix months of 2003 in South
Africa, Tunisia and Gabon.
South Africa. In South Africa, the Company spent $6.0$19.6 million of capital
on theto drill three exploratory wells and to continue development of its Sable field
that is expected to have first oil salesproduction during August 2003. The production
delay to August 2003 is primarily attributable to the third quarter. Development drilling is complete,owner of the floating
production facility being leased by Pioneer encountering unexpected problems
with the new compression equipment installed on the facility, resulting in
extensive reconditioning. Oil sales are expected by late in the third quarter as
soon as sufficient inventory has been anchored into position inbuilt to offload oil for the field and upgrades
are still ongoing whilefirst shuttle
delivery to onshore facilities. During the wells are tied in. Subsequent tosecond quarter end,of 2003, the Company
spud the first ofdrilled its three 2003 planned exploratory wells in South Africa, during 2003.none of which
were commercial.
Tunisia. In Tunisia, the Company spent $3.6$9.7 million of capital during the
first threesix months of 2003. The Company began development activities on its Adam
discovery which is expected to beginbegan production during the second quarter assuming government approval of 2003. First sales
are expected during the Adam concession.fourth quarter. The Company also drilled its
first operatedan exploration
well on its Jorf permit thatwhich was non-commercial, and spud the
first ofunsuccessful.
The Company drilled two exploration wells on its Anadarko-operated
Anaguid permit.permit during the second quarter of 2003. The CEM-1 encountered 95 feet
of net gas and condensate pay in upper Ordovician sandstones. In a drill stem
test, the unstimulated well flowed at a rate of 3,600 Mcf per day and 540 Bbls
per day. A second well, the SEA-1, encountered 52 feet of net pay in the same
section. Both wells have been suspended, pending the evaluation of commercial
development plans. On the Borj El Khadra block, Pioneer is participating in the
Adam 2 development well, the first development well in the new 860 square
kilometer Adam concession. The discovery well, Adam 1, has been producing
through nearby facilities at the Oued Zar field at a gross stabilized rate of
over 3,500 Bbls per day since late May 2003. Following the completion of the
Adam 2 well, the Company plans to drill the Hawa exploration well in the
southern portion of the Adam concession where Pioneer has a 28 percent working
interest.
Gabon. In Gabon, the Company spent $1.3$1.6 million during the first quarterhalf of
2003. The Company is attemptingawaiting final government approval of renegotiated terms in
Gabon. Upon formal approval of terms, the Company expects to gain approval from the governmentcommence a drilling
program early in 2004 as part of Gabonits development plan for the development of the field under improved fiscal terms, due to the size
and complexity of the project.
Results of Operations
Oil and gas revenues. Revenues from oil and gas operations totaled $281.2$340.0
million and $621.1 million for the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30,
2003, respectively, compared to $165.5$172.4 million and $338.0 million for the same
period inrespective periods of 2002. The increase in oil and gas revenues isduring the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods
of 2002, was principally attributable to increased gas productioninitial sales from the Canyon Express project and
initial production from the Falcon field in theCompany's
deepwater Gulf of Mexico Canyon Express and Falcon field gas projects, increased
gas sales in Argentina and to commodity price increases. As expected, declines
in Canadian production partially offset the above described increases to oil and
gas revenues.

On a BOE basis, worldwide average daily production increased by 1645
percent and 31 percent during the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30,
2003, respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2002. During the firstsecond
quarter of 2003 as compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2002, worldwide oil
production declinedincreased by eightfour percent; NGL production increased by twofour percent;
and gas production, augmented by a full quarter of production from both the
Canyon Express and initialFalcon field gas projects, increased by 83 percent. During
the first half of 2003, as compared to the first half of 2002, worldwide oil
production duringdeclined by two percent; NGL production increased by three percent;
and gas production, augmented by six months of production from Canyon Express
and production since March from the Falcon field, increased by 3660 percent. Per
BOE average daily production, on a first-quartersecond-quarter to first-quartersecond-quarter comparison,
increased by 2656 percent in the United States and by 32 percent in Argentina,
while production in Argentina and Canada decreased by eight13 percent. During the first half of
2003 as compared to the first half of 2002, per BOE average daily production
increased by 41 percent in the United States and by 11 percent in Argentina and
declined by 12 percent respectively.
Secondin Canada.
Third quarter 2003 production volumes areis expected to average 150,000 to 165,000
BOE per day. Gasday and total 2003 production is expected to rise during the second
quarter as a result of the acquisition of an additional 25 percent working
interest in the Falcon field and realization of a full quarter of productionrange from the Falcon field. The range of expected daily production for the second
quarter of 2003 is expanded as a result of the production variability inherent
in bringing high volume, high impact wells into an otherwise relatively stable
production mix. Included in the second quarter guidance is a reduction in net
Falcon production volume reflecting the one-eighth royalty that becomes
effective if the average NYMEX gas price exceeds $4.10 per Mcf for 2003.
The Company is also widening the range of expected 2003 production to 55 million to 60
million BOE to reflect the Falcon royalty and the heightened
variability related to high volume wells. The Falcon field is performing better
than expected, and the Harrier field has the potential for early start-up, while
first oil sales from the Sable field are now expected in the third quarter.BOE.
With a full year of production from the new fields brought on in 2003 and
the addition of at least two large fieldsHarrier field and Devils Tower production in late 2003 or early2004,early 2004, the
Company expects 2004 production to range from 63 million to 75 million BOE.
As discussed above, oil and gas revenues for the quarterthree and six month
periods ended March 31,June 30, 2003 were positively impacted by commodity price
increases. Comparing the firstsecond quarter of 2003 to the same period in 2002, the
Company's average worldwide oil 28price increased three percent, average worldwide
NGL prices increased 23 percent and average worldwide gas prices increased 65
percent. Comparing the first six months of 2003 to the same period in 2002, the
29

price increased 11 percent; the Company's average worldwide NGLoil price increased 105 percent;seven percent, average worldwide
NGL prices increased 57 percent and the Company's average worldwide gas priceprices increased 64
percent.
Hedging activities. The oil and gas prices that the Company reports are
based on the market price received for the commodities adjusted by the results
of the Company's cash flow hedging activities. The Company utilizes commodity
derivative instruments (swaps(swap and collar contracts) in order to (i) reduce the
effect of the volatility of price changes on the commodities the Company
produces and sells, (ii) support the Company's annual capital budgeting and
expenditure plans and (iii) lock in prices to protect the economics related to
certain capital projects. During the first quarter ofthree and six months periods ended June 30,
2003, the Company's commodity price hedges decreased oil and gas revenues by
$50.4$22.6 million and $73.0 million, respectively, as compared to $32.2increasing oil and
gas revenues by $3.9 million of commodity price hedge gainsand $36.2 million during the same periodperiods in 2002.
See Note D of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Item 1.
Financial Statements" for specific information regarding the Company's hedging
activities during the three and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2003 and 2002.
During the second quarter ofJuly 2003, the Company has entered into the
following new oil and gas price hedges: (i) 3,000swap contracts for
2,000 Bbls per day of 2005 oil swap
contractsfor September 2003 with average per Bbl fixed prices of
$24.00, (ii) 50,000 MMBtu per day

September 2003 through December 2003with average per MMBtuMcf fixed prices of $4.40, and
(iii) 10,000 MMBtu per day of 2004 gas collar contracts with average per MMBtu
fixed floor prices of $4.00 and fixed ceiling prices of $6.85. The Company also
terminated 2,000 Bbls per day of May through December 2003 oil swap contracts
with average per Bbl fixed prices of $25.00 and 1,000 Bbls per day of third and
fourth quarter 2003 oil swap contracts with average per Bbl fixed prices of
$24.00.$4.85.
Gain (loss) on disposition of assets. During the three monthsand six month periods
ended March
31,June 30, 2003, the Company recorded $1.4$104 thousand and $1.5 million,
respectively, of net gains on the disposition of assets, as compared to $.1$1.1
million and $1.0 million, respectively, of net lossesgains on the disposition of
assets during the same periodperiods in 2002.
Production costs. During the three and six month periodperiods ended March 31,June 30,
2003, total production costs per BOE averaged $5.54,$4.80 and $5.13, respectively,
representing a decrease of $.18 per BOE (four percent) and an increase of $.42$.08
per BOE (eight(two percent), respectively, as compared to production costs per BOE of
$5.12$4.98 and $5.05 during the same period in 2002, and representing an increase of $1.01 per BOE (22
percent), as compared to production costs per BOE of $4.53 during the fourth
quarterrespective periods of 2002. Lease operating
expenses and workover expenses represent the components of production costs for
which the Company has management control, while production and ad valorem taxes
and field fuel expenses are directly related to commodity price changes.
The decrease in production costs per BOE during the three months ended
June 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, is primarily due to
decreases in workover costs, ad valorem taxes and production taxes, partially
offset by an increase in field fuel expense as a result of higher gas prices and
increased lease operating expenses. As compared to the first half of 2002, the
increase in production costs per BOE during the first quarterhalf of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002, is primarilywas due to
increases in production taxes and field fuel expenses as a result of higher gas
prices, partially offset by decreases inlower lease operating expenses,expense, ad valorem taxes and
workover costs.
As compared to the fourth quarter of 2002, the increase in
production costs per BOE during the first quarter of 2003 was due to increases
in production taxes and field fuel expenses as a result of higher gas prices and
to higher lease operating expenses associated with the start-up of the Company's
deepwater Gulf of Mexico Canyon Express production.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company's total
depletion, depreciation and amortization expense per BOE was $6.06$6.95 and $5.06$6.55 for
the three and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared
to $5.10 and 2002, respectively.$5.08 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002.
Depletion expense per BOE, the largest component of depletion, depreciation and
amortization increased to $5.86expense, was $6.78 and $6.37 per BOE during the three monthsand six month
periods ended March 31,June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to $4.84$4.89 and $4.87 per
BOE during the same periodrespective periods of 2002. The increase in 2002,per BOE
depletion expense is primarily due to increases in higher cost-basis deepwater
Gulf of Mexico production volumes.
The Company expects secondthird quarter 2003 depletion, depreciation and
amortization expense to average $6.50$6.90 to $6.90$7.30 per BOE. The potential increase
is principally attributable to higher cost-basis Sable production volumes.
Exploration, and abandonments/abandonments, geological and geophysical costs. Exploration,
and abandonments/abandonments, geological and geophysical costs were $35.9$47.0 million and $82.9
million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, as compared to $17.9 million and $39.0 million during the same
respective periods in 2002. The in exploration, abandonments, geological and
geophysical costs during the six months ended March 31,of 2003 as compared to $21.1 million
during the same periodfirst six
months of 2002 is primarily due to increased exploration/extension drilling in
2002.the Gulf of Mexico, South Africa, Canada and Tunisia and increases in seismic
acquisitions that will contribute to future exploration activities. During the
first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2003, the Company completed and evaluated 5673
exploration/extension wells, 2635 of which were successfully completed as
discoveries. During the same period in 2002, the Company completed and evaluated
18 exploration/extension wells, 14 of which were successfully completed as
discoveries.

Due to uncertainties regarding the Company's utilization of net operating
loss carryforwards and other credit carryforwards, the Company has established
valuation reserves to reduce the carrying value of its deferred tax assets. The
Company'sCompany continues to monitor oil and gas commodity price outlooks and forecasted
capital spending plans, production volumes and taxable income and will reduce
its deferred tax asset valuation reserves are reduced when the Company's
financial results establish thatif it isbecomes more likely than not
that deferred tax
assets previously reservedthey will be usedutilized prior to their scheduled maturity. The Company's
financial results have improved substantially during 2003 as a result of the
combined affects of significant production growth and improved commodity prices.
Further production growth is anticipated from projects currently under
development that will be completed during the next six to eight months. These
circumstances, combined with a stable outlook for future commodity prices,
increase the likelihood that the Company may generate sufficient future taxable
income to utilize its net operating loss and other tax credit carryforwards
prior to their scheduled expiration.
During the second quarter of 2003, theThe Company estimates that its third quarter income tax provision will approximate $5be
