FELL OW S HAR EH OLD ERS
After celebrating our 25th anniversary last year, we
are looking ahead with optimism to our next quarter-
century in business. We will continue to build on the
many milestones we achieved in 2022. During the year,
we were the most active driller and largest oil producer
in the state of Texas, achieved our fifth consecutive
year of drilling and completions efficiency gains
and delivered a record year of production, all while
remaining operationally and financially disciplined,
which enabled us to deliver strong returns. Despite the
current global, geopolitical and economic challenges,
and the associated impact on the energy industry, we
see a future with opportunities, not roadblocks.
As part of our ongoing and strong commitment to
return capital to shareholders, we returned $8 billion to
investors in 2022 through dividends and opportunistic
share repurchases, representing 95% of Pioneer’s cash
flow after deducting capital expenditures. Our financial
discipline and strong balance sheet enabled us to
navigate the significant market volatility and inflationary
pressures experienced in 2022, while generating peer-
leading corporate returns. These tremendous results
are underpinned by our world-class employees and
industry-leading acreage position in the Permian Basin.
Our unmatched asset base and inventory depth enables
our mission to be America’s leading independent
energy company, producing reliable, affordable
and responsibly sourced oil and gas to supply the
world’s demand. That responsibility has never been
more urgent than now, as shifts in the financial
and geopolitical landscape continue to disrupt global
supply chains and upend even the strongest economies.
Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine last February
continues to impact global energy markets a year
later. Plus, global demand is expected to grow, with
meaningful oil demand growth coming from China’s
economic reemergence onto the world stage as it eases
strict pandemic lockdown policies.

2022 ANNUAL REPORT
Pioneer takes pride in our longtime commitment to
sustainability and protecting precious natural resources
– which we proudly carry as part of our name. We
are working to produce our hydrocarbons in the most
sustainable fashion possible, striving to be one of the
lowest-cost, lowest-carbon oil and gas producers.
We remain committed to minimizing emissions from
our operations and increasing our transparency
in environmental, social and governance (ESG)
reporting. We believe our industry has a role to play
in the energy transition, and that is why our focus
on providing an efficient and sustainable supply
of energy to the world is at all times paired with a
commitment to doing so in a safe and environmentally
responsible manner.
Our peer-leading ESG efforts include our
participation in two renewable energy projects that
aim to provide renewable, competitively priced energy
to support our vast Permian Basin operations.
Associated with these projects, we plan to purchase
the electricity generated from a 51-turbine,
140-megawatt wind farm to be built on surface
acreage Pioneer owns in southeast Midland County.
A subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC
is currently constructing the wind farm, with
commencement of electric service expected in
early 2024. Additionally, we, along with Houston-
based Targa Resources, announced power purchase
agreements in the 160-megawatt Concho Valley Solar
project, which began delivering electricity to certain
of our jointly owned gas processing facilities last
October. Targa operates the gas processing facilities
and is one of the largest independent midstream
infrastructure companies in North America.
Among U.S. operators, we were proud to be one
of the first oil and gas operators to commit to the
Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP), a
voluntary private/public coalition with leadership
and oversight from the United Nations. We plan to
establish a new methane reduction target this year
that will place us on a path to achieving the OGMP
“Gold Standard” designation by 2025.
Our company has always believed in the importance
of making an impact in the communities where we
live and work. In 2022, we made nearly $8 million in
donations, grants and sponsorships to hundreds of
charities in the Permian Basin and the Dallas-Fort
Worth area. The vast majority of this giving was
directed to Texas-based organizations. Additionally,
we gave $20 million last year to assist with
humanitarian efforts in war-torn Ukraine.
Regionally, we continue to work closely with
other operators in leading the Permian Strategic
Partnership, an unprecedented coalition of oil and
gas companies that was formed in 2017 to improve
the quality of life for Permian Basin residents in the
areas of healthcare, education, infrastructure/roads,
affordable housing and workforce development.
Since its inception, the partnership has leveraged
$93 million in member funds into nearly $1 billion of
collaborative community enhancement investments
with other stakeholders.
I am highly confident that Pioneer is well positioned
for the future as we enter our next quarter-century
of doing business. I would like to extend my thanks
to our Board of Directors for continuing to actively
engage with our shareholders, senior leadership and
employees, and especially to our more than 2,000
employees for their hard work, commitment and
dedication to ensuring Pioneer continues to lead
the way in our industry.
Sincerely,
Scott D. Sheffield
Chief Executive Officer

Winds of Change
Aiming to curb emissions, Pioneer
developing Midland County wind farm.
Pioneer Natural Resources recognizes we have an important role to play
in helping the energy industry mitigate global climate change. Our strong
commitment to sustainability and environmental
responsibility is something our company has valued for
decades, and it’s woven into the fabric of our
corporate culture.
That’s why we made another bold move
last fall supporting our steadfast commitment
to environmental stewardship by announcing an ambitious renewable
energy project that aims to provide renewable, low-cost energy to our
Permian Basin operations.
Pioneer is working with a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC to
develop a 51-turbine, 140-megawatt wind farm to be built on surface acreage
Pioneer owns on the Hutt Ranch in southeast Midland County. Known
formally as the Pioneer Hutt Wind Energy project, the facility is slated to go
online in early 2024 to help power our oil and gas operations over a 25,000-
acre swath of property.
NextEra is the world’s largest producer of wind and solar projects and
operates 119 wind projects throughout North America. Pioneer negotiated
a power purchase agreement (PPA) with NextEra in December 2021.
Houston-based Targa Resources – one of the largest independent
midstream infrastructure companies in North America – is the third
company participating in the PPA.
The Hutt project again demonstrates the emphasis we’ve put on
environmental stewardship and our ambitions to reaching net zero
emissions by 2050. We’ve set goals to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 50% by 2030*, reduce
methane emissions intensity by 75% by 2030* and limit annual flaring
intensity to less than 1%. We’ve already made significant progress towards
achieving all those targets.
As one of the largest operators in the Permian Basin with a strategy to
increase electrification of our operations, this project will serve as an
additional source of power in the coming years.

Mission and Strategies
The Company's mission is to be America's leading independent energy company, focff used on value, safeff ty, the
lowing strategic
technology and its people. The Company's long-term strategy is centered around the folff
environment,
objectives:
• maintaining a strong balance sheet and fiff nancial flff exibility;
•
•
•
returt ning frff ee cash flff ow to shareholders via a stabla e and growing base dividend, a variabla e dividend and share
repurchases;
utilizing the Company's scale and technological advancements to reduce costs and improve effff iff ciency;
delivering economic production and reserve growth through drilling, completion and production improvement
activities;
setting high expectations forff
employees and contractors to perforff m their jobs in a safeff manner; and
leading sustainabla e development and environmental stewardship effff orff

• maintaining industry-rr
The Company's long-term strategy is anchored by the Company's interests in the long-lived Sprabea

in excess of 55 years.
Competition
forff
The oil and gas industryrr
is highly competitive in the exploration forff
and acquisition of reserves, the acquisition of oil and
gas leases, marketing of oil, NGL and gas production, the obtaining of equipment and services and the hiring and retention of
staffff necessaryrr
the identififf cation, evaluation, operation and acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. The
Company's competitors include maja or integrated oil and gas companies, other independent oil and gas companies and
individuals engaged in the exploration forff
and development of oil and gas properties. The Company also faff ces competition
frff om companies that supply alternative sources of energy, such as wind, solar and other renewabla es. Competition will increase
as alternative energy technology becomes more reliabla e and governments throughout the world support or mandate the use of
such alternative energy.
Competitive advantage is gained in the oil and gas exploration and development industryrr by employing well-trained and
experienced personnel who make prude

innovation and are focff used on price and cost management. The Company has a team of dedicated employees who represent the

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a severe worldwide economic downturtt n, signififf cantly disrupt
oil

demand forff
oil, combined with excess supply of oil and related products, resulted in oil prices declining signififf cantly beginning
ryrr 2020. Since mid-2020, oil prices have improved, with demand steadily increasing despite the uncertainties
in late Februarr
surrounding the COVID-19 variants, and related responses by governments worldwide with regards to travel restrictions,
business closures and other restrictions, which have continued to inhibit a fulff
In addition, worldwide
oil inventories, frff om a historical perspective, remain low and concerns exist with the abia lity of OPEC and other oil producing
nations to meet forff ecasted futff urtt e oil demand growth, with many OPEC countries not abla e to produce at their OPEC agreed
upon quota levels due to their limited capia tal investments directed towards developing incremental oil supplies over the past
feff w years. Furthermore, sanctions, import bans and price capsa
on RusRR sia have been implemented by various countries in
response to the war in Ukraine, furff
ther impacting global oil supply. As a result of these and other oil and gas supply constraints,
the world has experienced signififf cant increases in energy costs. During December 2022, OPEC announced a continuation of its
2 MMBOPD production cut that started in November 2022 related to the uncertainty surrounding the global economy and
futff urt e oil demand. As a result of the current global supply and demand imbalances, oil and gas prices have remained strong

addition, the ongoing pandemic, combined with the RusRR sia/Ukraine conflff ict, has resulted in global supply chain disrupt
which has led to signififf cant cost inflff ation and the potential forff

Global oil price levels and inflff ationaryrr
pressures will ultimately depend on various faff ctors that are beyond the
Company's control, such as (i) the abia lity of OPEC and other oil producing nations to manage the global oil supply, (ii) the
impact of sanctions and import bans on production frff om RusRR sia, (iii) the timing and supply impact of any Iranian sanction relief
on their abia lity to export oil, (iv) the effff eff ctiveness of responses by businesses and governments to combat any additional
outbrt eaks of the COVID-19 virurr s and their impact on domestic and worldwide demand, (v) the global supply chain constraints
associated with manufaff cturt
ing and distribution delays, (vi) oilfiff eld service demand and cost inflff ation, (vii) political stabia lity of
oil consuming countries and (viii) increasing expectations that the world may be heading into a global recession. The Company
continues to assess and monitor the impact of these faff ctors and consequences on the Company and its operations.

the Company's Sustainabia lity Reports, Climate Risk Reports, and other voluntaryrr disclosures regarding ESG matters are
responsive to various areas of investor interest, the Company believes that certain of these disclosures do not currently address
matters that are material to the Company's operations, strategy, fiff nancial condition, or fiff nancial results, although this view may
change in the futff urt e based on new inforff mation that could materially alter the estimates, assumptions, or timelines used to create

Regulation
PIONEER NATURARR L RESOURCES COMPANY
The oil and gas industryrr
is extensively regulated at the feff deral, state and local levels. Regulations affff eff cting elements of
the energy sector are under constant review forff
amendment or expansion and frff equently more stringent requirements are
imposed. Various feff deral and state agencies, including the Texas Railroad Commission, the Bureau of Land Management (the
"BLM"), an agency of the U.S Department of the Interior ("DOI"), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") and
the U.S. Occupational Safeff ty and Health Administration ("OSHA"), have legal and regulatoryrr authority and oversight over the
Company's exploration and development activities and operations. Other agencies with certain authority over the Company's
business include the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC and NYSE. Ensuring compliance with the rulrr es, regulations and orders
promulgated by such entities requires extensive effff orff
t and incremental costs to comply, which affff eff cts the Company's
profiff tabia lity. Because public policy changes are commonplace, and existing laws and regulations are frff equently amended, the
Company is unabla e to predict the futff urt e cost or impact of compliance. However, the Company does not expect that any of these
laws and regulations will affff eff ct its operations materially diffff eff rently than they would affff eff ct other companies with similar
operations, size and fiff nancial strength.

Additionally, there are existing tribal, state and local jurisdictions where the Company operates that also have, or are
developing or considering developing, similar environmental and occupational health and safeff ty laws and regulations governing
many of these same types of activities. Failure by the Company to comply with these laws, regulations and regulatoryrr
initiatives

investigatory,rr
remedial and corrective action obligations or the obligation to incur capia tal or operating expenditurt es; the
occurrence of restrictions, delays or cancellations in the permitting, development or expansion of projects; and issuance of
injunctions restricting or prohibiting some or all of the Company's activities in a particular area. Historically, the Company's
environmental and worker safeff ty compliance costs have not had a material adverse effff eff ct on its results of operations. However,
there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the futff urt e or that such futff urt e compliance will not have a

respect to the management and disposal or release of hydrocarbons

If existing legal

Company may be required to make signififf cant, unanticipated capia tal and operating expenditurt es. The Company may not have

reduce the Company's interest in the unitized properties. In addition, state conservation laws establa ish maximum rates of
production frff om oil and gas wells and generally prohibit the venting or flff aring of gas without a permit. These laws and
regulations may limit the amount of oil and gas the Company can produce frff om the Company's wells, negatively affff eff ct the

Acquisitions of oil and gas properties, including acreage trades, have frff om time to time contributed to the Company's
growth. Acquisition opportuni
ties in the oil and gas industryrr are veryrr competitive, which can increase the cost of, or cause the
Company to refrff ain frff om, completing acquisitions. The success of any acquisition will depend on a number of faff ctors and
involves potential risks, including, among other things:

Numerous uncertainties exist in estimating quantities of proved reserves and futff urt e net cash flff ows therefrff om. The
th in this Report are based on various assumptions, which
estimates of proved reserves and related futff urt e net cash flff ows set forff
may ultimately prove to be inaccurate.
Petroleum engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be
measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverabla e oil and gas reserves and estimates of futff urt e net cash flff ows
depend upon a number of variabla e faff ctors and assumptions, including the folff
lowing:
•
•
•
•
•
•
historical production frff om the area compared with production frff om other producing areas;
the quality and quantity of availabla e data;
the interprrr etation of that data;
the assumed effff eff cts of regulations by governmental agencies;
assumptions concerning futff urt e commodity prices; and
assumptions concerning futff urt e development costs, operating costs, severance, ad valorem and excise taxes,
gathering, processing, transportation and frff actionation costs and workover and remedial costs.
Because all proved reserve estimates are to some degree subjective, each of the folff
lowing items may diffff eff r materially
frff om those assumed in estimating proved reserves:
•
•
the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered;
the production costs incurred to recover the reserves;

Standardized Measure is a reporting convention that provides a common basis forff
comparing oil and gas companies
subject to the rulrr es and regulations of the SEC. In general, it requires the use of commodity prices that are based upon a
historical 12-month unweighted average, as well as operating and development costs being incurred at the end of the reporting
period. Consequently, it may not reflff ect the prices ordinarily received or that will be received forff

Producing oil and gas reservoirs are characterized by declining production rates, which varyrr depending upon reservoir
characteristics and other faff ctors. Because the Company's producing wells decline continually over time as those wells are
produced, the Company will need to mitigate these declines through drilling and production enhancement initiatives and/or
acquisitions of additional recoverabla e reserves. There can be no assurance that the Company will be abla e to develop, exploit,

As of December 31, 2022, 11 percent of the Company's total estimated proved reserves were undeveloped. Recoveryrr of
undeveloped proved reserves requires signififf cant capia tal expenditurt es and successfulff

ly, which assumptions
assumes that the Company can and will make these expenditurt es and conduct these operations successfulff
may not prove to be correct. If the Company chooses not to spend the capia tal to develop these proved undeveloped reserves, or
if the Company is not otherwise abla e to successfulff
ly develop these proved undeveloped reserves, the Company will be required
to write-offff
these proved reserves. In addition, under the SEC's rulrr es, because proved undeveloped reserves may be booked
only if they relate to wells planned to be drilled within fiff ve years of the date of booking, the Company may be required to write-
offff any proved undeveloped reserves that are not developed within this fiff ve-year timefrff ame. The Company's futff urtt e production
levels and, thereforff e, its futff urt e cash flff ow and profiff tabia lity will be impacted if it is not abla e to successfulff

A substantial portion of the Company's acreage is currently held under leases that require it to establa ish and maintain
production of hydrocarbons
in paying quantities, and such leases are typically held by production frff om horizontal wells and/or
older, lower-producing vertical wells. Unless production in paying quantities is maintained frff om existing lease-holding wells, or
is establa ished during the primaryrr
term of the lease and then maintained thereaftff er with respect to these leases, the leases will
terminate, and the Company will lose the right to develop the undeveloped leasehold acreage.

The Company has identififf ed drilling locations and prospects forff
ties, including development,
exploratory,rr
extension and infiff ll drilling activities. These drilling locations and prospects represent a signififf cant part of the
Company's futff urtt e drilling plans. For example, the Company's proved reserves as of December 31, 2022 include proved
undeveloped reserves and proved developed non-producing reserves of 120 MMBbls of oil, 86 MMBbls of NGLs and 463 Bcf
of gas. The Company's abia lity to drill and develop these locations depends on a number of faff ctors, including the availabia lity and
ovals, negotiation of agreements with third parties, commodity prices, costs, access to and
cost of capia tal, regulatoryrr
availabia lity of equipment, services, resources and personnel and drilling results. There can be no assurance that the Company
will drill these locations or that the Company will be abla e to produce oil or gas reserves frff om these locations or any other
potential drilling locations. Well results varyrr by forff mation and geographi
c area, and the Company generally prioritizes its
drilling activities to focff us on remaining locations that are believed to offff eff r the highest returt n. Changes in the laws or regulations
on which the Company relies in planning and executing its drilling programs could materially and adversely impact the
Company's abia lity to successfulff
ly complete those programs. For example, under current Texas laws and regulations, the
Company may receive permits to drill, and may drill and complete, certain horizontal wells that traverse one or more units and/
or leases; a change in those laws or regulations could materially and adversely impact the Company's abia lity to drill those wells.
Because of these uncertainties, the Company cannot give any assurance as to the timing of these activities or that they will
ultimately result in the realization of proved reserves or meet the Company's expectations forff
success. As such, the Company's
actuat

In addition, the Company must dispose of the flff uids produced frff om oil and gas production operations, including
produced water, which it does directly or through the use of third party vendors. The legal requirements related to the disposal
of produced water into a non-producing geologic forff mation by means of underground injection wells are subject to change
based on concerns of the public or governmental authorities regarding such disposal activities. One such concern arises frff om
the disposal of produced water resulting frff om oil and gas
seismic events near underground disposal wells that are used forff
activities. In 2016, the United States Geological Survey identififf ed Texas as being among the states with areas of increased rates
of induced seismicity that could be attributed to flff uid injection or oil and gas extraction. In addition, a number of lawsuits have
been fiff led alleging that disposal well operations have caused damage to neighboring properties or otherwise violated state and
feff deral rulrr es regulating waste disposal. In response to these concerns, regulators in some states have imposed, or are
considering imposing, additional requirements in the permitting of produced water disposal wells to assess any relationship
between seismicity and the use of such wells. For example, in Texas, the Texas Railroad Commission has adopted rulrr es
governing the permitting or re-permitting of wells used to dispose of produced water and other flff uids resulting frff om the
production of oil and gas in order to address these seismic activity concerns within the state. Among other things, these rulrr es

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owns interests in 10 gas processing plants, including the related gathering
systems. There are signififf cant risks associated with the operation of gas processing plants and the associated gathering systems.
Gas and NGLs are volatile and explosive and may include carcinogens. Damage to or improper operation of gas processing
plants or gathering systems could result in an explosion or the discharge of toxic gases, which could result in signififf cant
damage claims in addition to interrupt

Moreover, while the Company's gas processing and gathering systems generally are not currently subject to FERC or
state regulation with respect to rates or terms and conditions of service, there can be no assurance that such processing and
gathering operations will continue to be unregulated in the futff urt e. Although these faff cilities may not be directly regulated, other
laws and regulations may affff eff ct the availabia lity of gas forff
gathering and processing, such as state regulations regarding

Commodity prices have historically been, and continue to be, extremely volatile. For example, the Brent oil prices in
2022 ranged frff om a high of $127.98 to a low of $76.10 per Bbl and NYMEX gas prices in 2022 ranged frff om a high of $9.68 to
a low of $3.72 per MMBtu.t The Company expects this volatility to continue. A furff

Signififf cant or extended price declines could result in the Company having to make downward adjustments to the

perforff m these assessments, management uses various observabla e and unobservabla e inputs, including management's outlooks forff

Historically, the Company's capia tal and operating costs have risen during periods of increasing oil, NGL and gas prices.
These cost increases result frff om a variety of faff ctors beyond the Company's control, such as increases in the cost of electricity,
steel and other raw materials that the Company and its vendors rely upon; increased demand forff

The Company is a borrower under fiff xed rate senior and convertible notes and maintains a revolving corpor

faff cility (the "Credit Facility") that was undrawn as of December 31, 2022. The terms of the Company's borrowings specifyff
scheduled debt repayments and require the Company to comply with certain associated covenants and restrictions. The
Company's abia lity to comply with the debt repayment terms, associated covenants and restrictions is dependent on, among other
things, faff ctors outside the Company's direct control, such as commodity prices and interest rates. In addition, frff om time to time,
the Company enters into arrangements and transactions that can give rise to material offff -ff balance sheet obligations, including
fiff rm purchase, transportation and frff actionation commitments, gathering, processing, transportation and storage commitments on
uncertain volumes of futff urtt e throughput, commitments to purchase minimum volumes of goods and services, operating lease

to mitigate the effff eff ct of commodity price volatility on the Company's net cash provided by operating activities and its net asset
value, support the Company's annual capia tal expenditurtt e plans and planned dividend payments. These derivative arrangements,
on a combined basis, are subject to mark-to-market accounting treatment, and the changes in faff ir market value of the contracts
are reported in the Company's statements of operations each quarter, which may result in signififf cant noncash gains or losses.
While intended to reduce the effff eff cts of oil, NGL and gas price volatility, the Company's derivative arrangements may
limit the Company's potential gains if prices rise over the price establa ished by such arrangements. Conversely, the Company's
derivative arrangements may be inadequate to protect the Company frff om continuing and prolonged declines in the price of oil,
NGLs or gas. Global commodity prices are volatile. Such volatility challenges the Company's abia lity to forff ecast the price of oil,
NGLs and gas, and, as a result, it may become more diffff iff cult forff
the Company to manage its derivative arrangements. In tryirr ng
to manage its exposure to commodity price risk, the Company may end up with too many or too feff w derivatives, depending
upon where commodity prices settle relative to the Company's derivative price thresholds and how the Company's oil, NGL and
gas volumes and production mix flff uctuat
te relative to expectations when the derivatives were entered.
The Company's derivative arrangements may also expose the Company to risk of fiff nancial loss in certain circumstances,
including, but not limited to, when:

In periods of lower commodity prices, if any of the Company's counterparr

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a carryirr ng value forff
goodwill of $243 million. Goodwill is assessed forff
impairment annually during the third quarter and whenever faff cts or circumstances indicate that the carryirr ng value of the
Company's goodwill may be impaired, which may require an estimate of the faff ir values of the reporting unit's assets and

The threat of climate change continues to attract considerabla e attention in the United States and around the world.
Numerous proposals have been made and could continue to be made at the international, national, regional and state levels of
government to monitor and limit existing emissions of GHGs as well as to restrict or eliminate such futff urt e emissions. These

directly limit GHG emissions frff om certain sources. Moreover, President Biden highlighted addressing climate change as a
priority of his administration, issued several executive orders related to climate change and recommitted the United States to
long-term international goals to reduce emissions. In recent years the U.S. Congress has considered legislation to reduce
dioxide, a byproduct of the burning of
emissions of GHGs, including methane, a primaryrr component of naturt al gas, and carbon
naturtt al gas. For example, the Inflff ation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRARR "), which appr

both new
and existing sources. The EPA's proposed rulrr es, if fiff nalized would make existing regulations more stringent, expand the scope
of source types covered by the rulrr es and require states to develop plans to reduce methane and volatile organic compound
("VOC") emissions frff om existing sources that must be at least as effff eff ctive as presumptive standards set by EPA. Under the
proposed rulrr es, owners or operators of affff eff cted emission units or processes would have to comply with specififf c standards of
perforff mance that may include leak detection using optical gas imaging and subsequent repair requirements, reduction of
emissions by 95 percent through capta urt e and control systems, zero-emission requirements, operations and maintenance
requirements and so-called green well completion requirements. The EPA is currently seeking comments on the supplemental
proposed rulrr e, and like each of the EPA's previous methane emission regulations, the adopted fiff nal rulrr e is likely to faff ce
immediate litigation challenges. The BLM has also proposed rulrr es to limit methane emissions forff
oil and gas operations on
feff deral lands. Additionally, in Januaryrr 2023 the Council on Environmental Quality (the "CEQ") released updated guidance forff
feff deral agency consideration of GHG emissions and climate change impacts in environmental reviews. While the Company
cannot predict the fiff nal scope or compliance costs of these proposed regulatoryrr

potential to adversely affff eff ct the Company's operations, fiff nancial results and cash flff ows.
At the international level, the United Nations ("UNUU ") -sponsored "Paris Agreement" requires member states to submit
non-binding, individually-determined reduction goals known as Nationally Determined Contributions everyrr

2020. President Biden has recommitted the United States to the Paris Agreement and, in April 2021, announced a goal of
reducing the United States' emissions by 50 to 52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030. Additionally, at the UNUU Climate Change
Confeff rence of Parties ("COP26"), held in November 2021, the United States and the European Union jointly announced the
launch of a Global Methane Pledge, an initiative committing to a collective goal of reducing global methane emissions by at
least 30 percent frff om 2020 levels by 2030, including "all feff asible reductions" in the energy sector. COP26 concluded with the
fiff nalization of the Glasgow Climate Pact, which stated long-term global goals (including those in the Paris Agreement) to limit
the increase in the global average temperaturt e and emphasized reductions in GHG emissions. These goals were reaffff iff rmed at
the November 2022 Confeff rence of Parties ("COP27"). At COP27, the US also announced, in conjunction with the European

In addition, voluntaryrr disclosures regarding ESG matters, as well as any ESG disclosures mandated by law, could result

Moreover, the faff ilure or a perception (whether or not valid) of faff ilure to implement ESG strategies or achieve ESG goals or

damage the Company's reputation, cause investors or consumers to lose confiff dence in the Company and negatively impact the

it may receive pressure frff om investors, lenders or other groups to adopt more aggressive climate or other ESG-related goals, but
the Company cannot guarantee it will be abla e to implement such goals because of potential costs or technical or operational

on allegations that certain public statements regarding ESG-related matters and practices by companies are "greenwashing," i.e.
misleading inforff mation or faff lse claims overstating potential ESG benefiff ts. For example, in March 2021, the SEC establa ished the

Additionally, certain investors use these scores to benchmark businesses against their peers and if a business entity is perceived

certain members of the broader investment community may consider a business entity's sustainabia lity score as a reputational or

In connection with its operations, the Company must obtain and maintain numerous environmental and oil and gas
related permits, appr
ovals and certififf cates frff om various feff deral, state and local governmental authorities, and may incur
substantial costs in doing so. The need to obtain permits has the potential to delay, curtail or cease the development of oil and
gas projects. The Company may in the futff urtt e be charged royalties on gas emissions or required to incur certain capia tal
expenditurt es forff
air pollution control equipment or other air emissions-related issues. For example, in 2015, the EPA under the
Obama Administration issued a fiff nal rulrr e under the CAA, making the National Ambient Air Quality Standard ("NAAQS") forff
ground-level ozone more stringent. Since that time, the EPA has issued area designations with respect to ground-level ozone
and, on December 31, 2020, published a fiff nal action that, upon conducting a periodic review of the ozone standard in accord
with CAA requirements, elected to retain the 2015 ozone NAAQS without revision on a going-forff ward basis. However, in
October 2021, the EPA announced it will reconsider its December 2020 decision and is targeting to complete its reconsideration

December 2020 fiff nal action, state implementation of the revised NAAQS could, among other things, require installation of new
emission controls on some of the Company's equipment, result in longer permitting timelines, and signififf cantly increase the
Company's capia tal expenditurtt es and operating costs.

measures to mitigate the risks of existing or futff urtt e ESA regulations regarding certain species, like the Dunes Sagebrusrr h Lizard
and Lesser Prairie Chicken, that have the potential to impact the Company's operations. For example, the Company is a
participant in the Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurance ("CCAA") forff

Chicken habia tat but also maintain its development plans through the generation of habia tat impact offff sff ets. The southern and
northern population segments of the Lesser Prairie Chicken were forff mally listed as endangered and threatened, respectively, by

Company's operations frff om most of the adverse impacts of this listing. Should the habia tat of the Lesser Prairie Chicken be
expanded at a futff urtt e date through the actions of the FWS, operations in areas pertaining to any expanded habia tat would not be
covered by the CCAA and futff urt e operations may require securing FWS permits. Separately, in August 2022, the FWS agreed,

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reforff m and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") enacted in July 2010,
establa ished feff deral oversight and regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and entities, such as the Company, that
participate in that market. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the CFTC and the SEC to promulgate rulrr es and regulations forff
its

ongoing, and the ultimate effff eff ct of the adopted rulrr es and regulations and any futff urtt e rulrr es and regulations on the Company's

In 2020, the CFTC voted to adopt a fiff nal rulrr e regarding position limits forff

The CFTC has also adopted fiff nal rulrr es regarding the aggregation requirements appl

positions in commodity futff urt es contracts and the economically equivalent futff urtt es, options and swapsa
held by separate but

increasing the costs of transactions. Moreover, such changes could materially reduce the Company's access to derivative

possible that the Biden administration could expand regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market and the entities that
participate in that market through either the Dodd-Frank Act or the enactment of new legislation. The Dodd-Frank Act (and any

In connection with the annual reserves audit, NSAI prepared its own estimates of the Company's proved reserves and
compared its estimates to those prepared by the Company. NSAI determined that the Company's estimates of reserves were
prepared in accordance with the defiff nitions and regulations of the SEC, including the criteria of "reasonabla e certainty," as it

consistent with the defiff nition in RulRR e 4-10(a)(24) of Regulation S-X. NSAI issued an unqualififf ed audit opinion on the
Company's proved reserves as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based upon their evaluation. NSAI
concluded that the Company's estimates of proved reserves were, in the aggregate, reasonabla e and had been prepared in
accordance with Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Inforff mation promulgated by the
Society of Petroleum Engineers. NSAI's audit report as of December 31, 2022, which should be read in its entirety, is attached

TeTT chnologies used in proved reserves estimates. Proved undeveloped reserves include those reserves that are expected to
be recovered frff om new wells on undrilled acreage, or frff om existing wells where a relatively maja or expenditurtt e is required forff
completion. Undeveloped reserves may be classififf ed as proved reserves on undrilled acreage directly offff sff etting development
areas that are reasonabla y certain of production when drilled, or where reliabla e technology provides reasonabla e certainty of
economic producibility. Undrilled locations may be classififf ed as having undeveloped proved reserves only if an abia lity and
intent has been establa ished to drill the reserves within fiff ve years, unless specififf c circumstances justifyff a longer time period.
In the context of reserves estimations, reasonabla e certainty means a high degree of confiff dence that the quantities will be
recovered and reliabla e technology means a grouping of one or more technologies (including computational methods) that has
been fiff eld-tested and has been demonstrated to provide reasonabla e certainty that the results will be consistent and repeatabla e in
the forff mation being evaluated or in an analogous forff mation. In estimating proved reserves, the Company uses several diffff eff rent
traditional methods such as perforff mance-based methods, volumetric-based methods and analogy with similar properties. In
addition, the Company utilizes additional technical analysis such as seismic interprrr etation, wireline forff mation tests, geophysical
logs and core data to provide incremental support forff more complex reservoirs. Inforff mation frff om this incremental support is
combined with the traditional technologies outlined above
to enhance the certainty of the Company's proved reserve estimates.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a severe worldwide economic downturtt n, signififf cantly disrupt

in late Februarr
surrounding the COVID-19 variants, and related responses by governments worldwide with regards to travel restrictions,
business closures and other restrictions, which have continued to inhibit a fulff
In addition, worldwide
oil inventories, frff om a historical perspective, remain low and concerns exist with the abia lity of OPEC and other oil producing
nations to meet forff ecasted futff urtt e oil demand growth, with many OPEC countries not abla e to produce at their OPEC agreed
upon quota levels due to their limited capia tal investments directed towards developing incremental oil supplies over the past
feff w years. Furthermore, sanctions, import bans and price capsa
on RusRR sia have been implemented by various countries in
response to the war in Ukraine, furff
ther impacting global oil supply. As a result of these and other oil and gas supply constraints,
the world has experienced signififf cant increases in energy costs. During December 2022, OPEC announced a continuation of its
2 MMBOPD production cut that started in November 2022 related to the uncertainty surrounding the global economy and
futff urt e oil demand. As a result of the current global supply and demand imbalances, oil and gas prices have remained strong

program was impacted by higher than expected inflff ation in steel, diesel and chemical prices, among other items.

rr
Global oil price levels and inflff ationaryrr
pressures will ultimately depend on various faff ctors that are beyond the
Company's control, such as (i) the abia lity of OPEC and other oil producing nations to manage the global oil supply, (ii) the
impact of sanctions and import bans on production frff om RusRR sia, (iii) the timing and supply impact of any Iranian sanction relief
on their abia lity to export oil, (iv) the effff eff ctiveness of responses by businesses and governments to combat any additional
outbrt eaks of the COVID-19 virurr s and their impact on domestic and worldwide demand, (v) the global supply chain constraints
ing and distribution delays, (vi) oilfiff eld service demand and cost inflff ation, (vii) political stabia lity of

MarMM krr ekk ting derivatives. The Company uses marketing derivatives to diversifyff
its oil pricing to Gulf Coast and
international markets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's marketing derivatives reflff ect long-term marketing contracts
whereby the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell barrels of oil at an oil terminal in Midland, Texas.
In October 2019, the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell 50 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning
Januaryrr 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2026.
In April 2022, the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell (i) 40 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning
May 1, 2022 and ending April 30, 2027 and (ii) 30 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning August 1, 2022 and ending July
31, 2027.
The price the Company pays to purchase the oil volumes under the purchase contract is based on a Midland WTI price
and the price the Company receives forff
selling
oil through a Gulf Coast storage and export faff cility at prices that are highly correlated with Brent oil prices during the same
the contracts as
month of the purchase. Based on the forff m of the long-term marketing contracts, the Company accounts forff
derivative instrumrr

ConvCC
ersrr ion option derivatives. In May 2020, the Company issued $1.3 billion principal amount of convertible senior
notes due 2025 (the "Convertible Notes"). Certain holders of the Convertible Notes exercised their conversion option during the
year ended December 31, 2022. Per the terms of the notes indenturt e, the Company elected to settle the conversions in cash,
with settlement occurring 25 trading days frff om the notice of conversion (the "Settlement Period"). The Company's election to
settle an exercised conversion option in cash results in a forff ward contract during the Settlement Period that is accounted forff
as a
ent not designated as a hedge. The Company's conversion option derivatives represent the change in the cash
derivative instrumrr
settlement obligation that occurs during the Settlement Period related to conversion options exercised by certain holders of the
Company's Convertible Notes.
The Company's open derivative contracts are subject to market risk. See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative

The Company's estimates of proved reserves materially impact depletion expense. If the estimates of proved reserves
decline, the rate at which the Company records depletion expense will increase, reducing futff urt e net income. Such a decline may
result frff om lower commodity prices, which may make it uneconomical to drill forff
and produce higher cost fiff elds. In addition, a
decline in proved reserve estimates may impact the outcome of the Company's assessment of its proved properties and goodwill

Due to the capia tal intensive naturtt e and the geographi

whereby the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell barrels of oil at an oil terminal in Midland, Texas.
In October 2019, the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell 50 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning
Januaryrr 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2026.
In April 2022, the Company agreed to purchase and simultaneously sell (i) 40 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning
May 1, 2022 and ending April 30, 2027 and (ii) 30 thousand barrels of oil per day beginning August 1, 2022 and ending July

The price the Company pays to purchase the oil volumes under the purchase contracts is based on a Midland WTI price
and the price the Company receives forff

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Pioneer Naturt al Resources Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the Company)
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial
statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated ebruar
ryrr 23, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis forff Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement,
whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures
included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also
included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex
judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on
the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Descripti
thett MatMM ter
ion of
Depletion, Depreciation and Amortization of Proved Oil and Gas Properties
ts method of accounting forff
At December 31, 2022, the net book value of the Company's proved oil and gas properties was $23,622
the year then
million, and depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) expense was $2,530 million forff
lows the successfulff
ended. As described in Note 2 to the consolidated fiff nancial statements, the Company folff
effff orff
ts method of
effff orff
its oil and gas properties. Under the successfulff
accounting, the capia talized costs of proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-ff production method based
on proved reserves, as estimated by the Company's engineers. Proved oil and gas reserves are prepared using
standard geological and engineering methods generally recognized in the petroleum industryrr
based on
evaluations of estimated in-place hydrocarbon
volumes using fiff nancial and non-fiff nancial inputs. Judgment is
required by the Company's engineers in interprrr eting the data used to estimate reserves. Estimating proved oil
and gas reserves requires the selection and evaluation of inputs, including historical production, oil and gas
price assumptions, and futff urt e operating and capia tal cost assumptions, among others. Because of the
complexity involved in estimating oil and gas reserves, management used independent petroleum engineers
to audit the estimates prepared by the Company's engineers as of December 31, 2022.
r
Auditing the Company's DD&A calculation is especially complex because of the use of the work of the
Company's engineers and the independent petroleum engineers and the evaluation of management's
determination of the inputs described above
used by these engineers in estimating proved oil and gas
reserves.
a
HowHH WeWW
Addressed thett
MatMM ter in Our
Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effff eff ctiveness of internal
controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the DD&A calculation, including controls
over the completeness and accuracy of the fiff nancial data used in estimating proved oil and gas reserves.
Our testing of the Company's DD&A calculation included, among other procedures, evaluating the
profeff ssional qualififf cations and objectivity of the Company's engineers responsible forff
the preparation of the
reserve estimates and the independent petroleum engineers used to audit the estimates. On a sample basis, we
tested the completeness and accuracy of the fiff nancial data used in the estimation of proved oil and gas
reserves by agreeing signififf cant inputs to source documentation, where availabla e, and assessing the inputs forff
reasonabla eness based on our review of corroborative evidence and consideration of any contraryrr evidence.
Additionally, we perforff med analytic procedures on select inputs into the oil and gas reserve estimate as well
as lookback procedures on the output
. Finally, we tested that the DD&A calculation is based on the
a
appr
opriate proved oil and gas reserves amounts frff om the Company's reserve report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020
NOTE 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Pioneer is a Delaware corpor
rr
ation whose common stock is listed and traded on the NYSE. The Company is a large
, develops and produces oil, NGLs and gas in the
independent oil and gas exploration and production company that explores forff
Midland Basin in West Texas.
NOTE 2. Summary of Signififf cant Accounting Policies
PrPP inii ciplii ell s of consolill datitt on. The consolidated fiff nancial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-
intercompany balances and
owned and maja ority-owned subsu idiaries since their acquisition or forff mation. All material
transactions have been eliminated.
ee
thtt e prepar
UsUU e of estitt mii atett s inii
atitt on of fiff nii ancial stattt ett mentstt . Preparation of the Company's consolidated fiff nancial
statements in conforff mity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affff eff ct the reported amounts
of assets and liabia lities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabia lities at the date of the fiff nancial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Depletion of oil and gas properties is determined using
estimates of proved oil and gas reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved
reserves and in the projection of futff urt e rates of production and the timing of development expenditurt es. Similarly, evaluations
forff
impairment of proved and unproved oil and gas properties are subject to numerous uncertainties including, among others,
estimates of futff urtt e recoverabla e proved and risk-adjusted probabla e reserves, commodity price outlooks and prevailing market
rates of other sources of income and costs. Actuat
l results could diffff eff r frff om the estimates and assumptions utilized.
CasCC h and cash equivalell ntstt . The Company's cash and cash equivalents include depositoryrr accounts held by banks and
marketabla e securities (including commercial papea
r and time deposits) with original issuance maturtt
ities of 90 days or less.
Restrtt ictett d cash. The Company's restricted cash included funds
held in escrow to cover defiff ciency feff e payments in
connection with the Company's 2019 sale of its Eagle Ford assets and other remaining assets in South Texas (the "South Texas
Divestiturt e"). During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company settled the remaining defiff ciency feff e obligations related
to the South Texas Divestiturt e utilizing the funds
held in escrow. Interest income related to restricted cash is recorded in interest
and other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
ff
ff
Accountstt receivablell ,e net.tt The Company's net accounts receivabla e balance is primarily comprised of oil and gas sales
receivabla es, joint interest receivabla es, accounts receivabla e due frff om affff iff liates and other receivabla es forff which the Company does
not require collateral security. The Company's share of oil and gas production is sold to various purchasers who must be
prequalififf ed under the Company's credit risk policies and procedures. The Company records allowances forff
accounts
based on historical collection experience, current and futff urtt e economic and market conditions, the length of time that the
accounts receivabla es have been outstanding and the fiff nancial condition of its purchasers. The Company's credit risk related to
collecting accounts receivabla es is mitigated by using credit and other fiff nancial criteria to evaluate the credit standing of the
entity obligated to make payment on the accounts receivabla e, and where appr
opriate, the Company obtains assurances of
payment, such as a guarantee by the parent company of the counterparr
rty, letters of credit or other credit support.

The Company considers forff ward-looking inforff mation to estimate expected credit losses. The Company establa ishes
bad debts equal to the estimabla e portions of accounts receivabla e forff which faff ilure to collect is expected to occur.
allowances forff
The Company estimates uncollectible amounts forff
joint interest receivabla es based on the length of time that the accounts
receivabla es have been outstanding, historical collection experience and current and futff urt e economic and market conditions.
Allowances forff
accounts are recorded as reductions to the carryirr ng values of the receivabla es included in the Company's
consolidated balance sheets and are recorded in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations in the accounting
periods during which faff ilure to collect an estimabla e portion is determined to be probabla e. The Company's allowance forff
doubtfulff
accounts totaled $10 million and $9 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

In October 2021, the Company completed the sale of appr

"Glasscock Divestiturt e") to Laredo Petroleum, Inc. ("Laredo") in exchange forff
$137 million in cash and 960 thousand shares of
Laredo's common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold the 960 thousand shares of Laredo
common stock. The shares were treated as an investment in equity securities measured at faff ir value with changes in faff ir value
recorded in interest and other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 4 and Note 15 forff

Under this method, all costs associated with productive wells and nonproductive development wells are capia talized while

Due to the capia tal intensive naturtt e and the geographi
cal location of certain projects, it may take an extended period of
time to evaluate the futff urt e potential of an exploration project and the economics associated with making a determination on its
commercial viabia lity. In these instances, the project's feff asibility is not contingent upon price improvements or advances in
technology, but rather the Company's ongoing effff orff
ts and expenditurt es related to accurately predicting the hydrocarbon
recoverabia lity based on well inforff mation, gaining access to other companies' production data in the area, transportation or
processing faff cilities, and/or getting partner appr

pursued constantly. Consequently, the Company's assessment of suspended exploratory/rr extension well costs is continuous until

As of December 31, 2022, the Company owned a participating interest in 10 gas processing plants, including the related
gathering systems. The Company's ownership interests in the gas processing plants are primarily to accommodate handling the
Company's gas production and thus are considered a component of the capia tal and operating costs of the respective fiff elds that
the plants service. The operators of the plants process the Company's and third-party gas volumes forff
a feff e. The Company's
share of revenues and expenses derived frff om volumes processed through the plants are reported as components of oil and gas
the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were
production costs. Revenues generated frff om the plants forff
$274 million, $271 million and $178 million, respectively. Expenses attributabla e to the plants forff
the same respective periods
were $27 million, $61 million and $76 million. The capia talized costs of the plants are included in proved oil and gas properties
and are depleted using the unit-of-ff production method along with the other capia talized costs of the fiff eld that they service.
The capia talized costs of proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-ff production method based on proved reserves.
Costs of signififf cant nonproducing properties, wells in the process of being drilled and in-process development projects are
excluded frff om depletion until the related project is completed and proved reserves are establa ished or, if unsuccessfulff
,
abaa ndonments expense is recognized.
Proceeds frff om the sales of individual properties and the capia talized costs of individual properties sold or abaa ndoned are
credited and charged, respectively, to accumulated depletion, depreciation and amortization, if doing so does not materially
impact the depletion rate of its amortization base. Generally, no gain or loss is recorded until an entire amortization base is sold.
However, gain or loss is recorded frff om the sale of less than an entire amortization base if the disposition is signififf cant enough
to materially impact the depletion rate of the remaining properties in the amortization base.

NOTE 4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines faff ir value based on the price that would be received frff om selling an asset or paid to transfeff r a
liabia lity in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based upon
inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liabia lity, which are characterized according to a hierarchy that
prioritizes those inputs based on the degree to which they are observabla e. Observabla e inputs represent market data obtained
frff om independent sources, whereas unobservabla e inputs reflff ect a company's own market assumptions, which are used if
observabla e inputs are not reasonabla y availabla e without undue cost and effff orff
t. The faff ir value input hierarchy level to which an
asset or liabia lity measurement in its entirety faff lls is determined based on the lowest level input that is signififf cant to the
measurement in its entirety.
The three input levels of the faff ir value hierarchy are as folff

similar assets or liabia lities in active markets; quoted prices forff
Level 1 – quoted prices forff

Level 2 – quoted prices forff

the asset or liabia lity
(e.g. interest rates) and inputs derived principally frff om or corroborated by observabla e market data by correlation or
other means.
Level 3 – unobservabla e inputs forff
the asset or liabia lity, typically reflff ecting management's estimate of assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liabia lity. The faff ir values are thereforff e determined using
model-based techniques, including discounted cash flff ow models.

with settlement occurring 25 trading days frff om the notice of conversion (the "Settlement Period"). The Company's election to
settle an exercised conversion option in cash results in a forff ward contract during the Settlement Period that is accounted forff
as a
ent not designated as a hedge. The change in faff ir value of the conversion option derivatives during the
derivative instrumrr
Settlement Period is primarily determined based on Level 2 inputs related to the daily volumetric weighted average prices
("VWAP") of the Company's common stock during the Settlement Period. See Note 5, Note 7 and Note 19 forff

ComCC moditytt price derivatives. The asset and liabia lity measurements forff

icabla e estimated credit-adjusted
a
(i) the contracted notional volumes, (ii) independent active market price quotes, (iii) the appl
l rates. The Level 3 inputs attributabla e to the Company's marketing
risk-frff ee rate yield curve and (iv) stated contractuatt
derivatives include the historical monthly diffff eff rential between Brent oil prices and the corresponding WASP of the counterparr
rty
to the marketing derivatives ("WASP Diffff eff rential Deduction") and, to a lesser extent, an estimated annual cost inflff ation rate.
The average WASP Diffff eff rential Deduction used in the faff ir value determination as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.67
per barrel and $2.19 per barrel, respectively. The WASP Diffff eff rential Deduction and the estimated annual cost inflff ation rate
reflff ects management's best estimate of futff urt e results utilizing historical perforff mance, but these estimates are not observabla e

inputs by a market participant and contain a high degree of uncertainty. The Company experiences mark-to-market flff uctuat
in the faff ir value of its marketing derivatives based on changes in the WASP Diffff eff rential Deduction if it deviates frff om historical
levels. For example, a 10 percent increase or decrease in the WASP Diffff eff rential Deduction would impact the faff ir value of the
Company's marketing derivatives recorded by $28 million as of December 31, 2022. See Note 5 forff

Assetstt and lill abi
lii ill tii itt es measured at faiff rii value on a nonrecurrinii g basisii . Certain assets and liabia lities are measured at faff ir
value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets and liabia lities are not measured at faff ir value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to
faff ir value adjustments in certain circumstances. These assets and liabia lities can include inventories, proved and unproved oil
and gas properties, assets acquired and liabia lities assumed in business combinations, goodwill and other long-lived assets that
are written down to faff ir value when they are determined to be impaired or held forff

Proved oil and gas properties. The Company perforff ms assessments of its proved oil and gas properties, which are

ts method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carryirr ng
value of those assets may not be recoverabla e. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected futff urtt e cash flff ows,
including cash flff ows frff om the Company's water services business that are used in the development of the assets, is less than the
carryirr ng amount of the assets, including the carryirr ng value of the water services business. In these circumstances, the Company
recognizes an impairment charge forff
the amount by which the carryirr ng amount of the assets exceeds the estimated faff ir value of
the assets.
effff orff
Based on management's commodity price outlooks as December 31, 2022, which represent long-term commodity price
outlooks that are internally developed based on third party futff urt e commodity price estimates as of the measurement date
("Management's Price Outlook"), the Company determined events and circumstances did not indicate that the carryirr ng value of
the Company's proved properties were not recoverabla e.
UnprUU oved oil and gas properties. Unproved oil and gas properties are periodically assessed forff
impairment on a project-
by-project basis. These impairment assessments are affff eff cted by the results of current and planned exploration activities,
commodity price outlooks, planned futff urt e property sales or expiration of all or a portion of such projects. If the Company's
assessment determines that a project is not expected to be developed, the Company will recognize an impairment charge at that
time. Impairment charges forff
unproved oil and gas properties are recorded in exploration and abaa ndonments expense in the
consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded
noncash impairment charges of $7 million, $4 million and $11 million, respectively, to exploration and abaa ndonments expense
in the consolidated statements of operations.
Othett
r long-lived assetstt . The Company reviews its long-lived assets forff
impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carryirr ng amount of an asset may not be recoverabla e. If such assets are considered to be

value. As a result of the Company's impairment assessments of other long-lived assets, the Company recorded $23 million of

Goodwill. Goodwill is assessed forff
impairment whenever it is more likely than not that events or circumstances indicate
the carryirr ng value of a reporting unit exceeds its faff ir value, but no less oftff en than annually. An impairment charge is recorded
forff
the amount by which the carryirr ng amount exceeds the faff ir value of a reporting unit in the period it is determined to be
impaired.
Based on the Company's annual assessment of the faff ir value of goodwill as of July 1, 2022, the Company determined
that its goodwill was not impaired. As of December 31, 2022, there were no material changes in events or circumstances that

NOTE 12. Related Party Transactions
In December 2018, the Company completed the sale of its pressure pumping assets to ProPetro in exchange forff
16.6 million shares of ProPetro common stock and $110 million of cash that was received during the fiff rst quarter of 2019.
ProPetro is considered a related party as the shares received represent 14 percent of ProPetro's outstanding common stock. In
addition to the sale of equipment and related faff cilities, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with ProPetro forff
it to
provide pressure pumping and related services that ended on December 31, 2022. During 2022, the Company entered into two
new agreements with ProPetro forff
pressure pumping services, with one agreement ending in August 2023 and the other ending
in August 2024. Under the two new ProPetro agreements, the Company has the right to terminate with 90-days written notice
without penalty.
Phillip A. Gobe, a nonemployee member of the Board, was appoi
nted by the board of directors of ProPetro to serve as its
Executive Chairman in October 2019 and Chief Executive Offff iff cer in March 2020, and served as Chief Executive Offff iff cer and
Chairman of the board of directors of ProPetro through August 31, 2021, at which point he continued as ProPetro's Executive
Chairman. In March 2022, Mr. Gobe transitioned to non-executive Chairman of the board of directors of ProPetro. Mark S.

Reserve Quantitt tii ytt InII fn orff mrr atitt on
The estimates of the Company's proved reserves as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were based on evaluations
prepared by the Company's engineers and audited by independent petroleum engineers with respect to the Company's maja or
properties and prepared by the Company's engineers with respect to all other properties. Proved reserves were estimated in
accordance with guidelines establa ished by the SEC and the FASB, which require that reserve estimates be prepared under
existing economic and operating conditions based upon an average of the fiff rst-day-of-ff the-month commodity price during the
12-month period ending on the balance sheet date with no provision forff
l
price and cost escalations except by contractuat
arrangements.
ff
Proved reserve quantity estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation of quantities of proved
reserves and in the projection of futff urtt e rates of production and the timing of development expenditurt es. The accuracy of such
tion of the quality of availabla e data and of engineering and geological interprrr etation and judgment. Results of
estimates is a func
subsequent drilling and production perforff mance may cause either upward or downward revision of previous estimates. Further,
the volumes considered to be commercially recoverabla e flff uctuat
te with changes in commodity prices and operating costs. The
Company emphasizes that proved reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more
imprecise than those of currently producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these estimates are expected to change as
additional inforff mation becomes availabla e in the futff urt e.

Proved undeveloped reserves activity is as folff

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 229 proved undeveloped well locations, as compared to 305 and 60 as of
December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company has no proved undeveloped well locations that are scheduled to be drilled more
than fiff ve years frff om their original date of booking.
The changes in proved undeveloped reserves during the year ended December 31, 2022 are comprised of the folff
lowing
items:
Revisii ions of previous estimates. Revisions of previous estimates are comprised of 15 MMBOE of positive technical
revisions and 2 MMBOE of positive price revisions. The positive technical revisions are primarily related to 38 MMBOE of
positive revisions due to additional reserves associated with extending lateral lengths on planned wells, partially offff sff et by 23
MMBOE of negative revisions related to the removal of 30 proved undeveloped locations that are not expected to be drilled in
the time frff ame originally anticipated.
ExEE tensions and disii coveries. Extensions and discoveries are primarily comprised of proved reserve additions attributabla e
to the Company's successfulff
horizontal drilling program in the Sprabea
rry/rr Wolfcff amp oil fiff eld of the Midland Basin.
TrTT ansfs eff rsrr
to proved developed. Transfeff rs to proved developed reserves represented the proved undeveloped reserves
associated with 49 undeveloped locations that moved to proved developed as a result of development drilling.
The Company uses both public and proprietaryrr geologic data to establa ish continuity of the forff mation and its producing
properties. This included seismic data and interprrr etations (2-D, 3-D and micro seismic); open hole log inforff mation (both
vertical and horizontally collected) and petrophysical analysis of the log data; mud logs; gas sample analysis; drill cutting
samples; measurements of total organic content; thermal maturtt
ity; sidewall cores and data measured frff om the Company's
internal core analysis faff cility. Aftff er the geologic area was shown to be continuous, statistical analysis of existing producing
wells was conducted to generate areas of reasonabla e certainty at distances frff om establa ished production. As a result of this
analysis, proved undeveloped reserves forff
drilling locations within these areas of reasonabla e certainty were recorded during
2022.
ff
ng forff
While the Company expects, based on Management's Price Outlook, that futff urt e operating cash flff ows will provide
futff urt e development of its proved undeveloped reserves over the next fiff ve years, it may also use any
city under its Credit Facility,
these and other capia tal

(b) Futurtt e development costs include $27 million of net abaa ndonment costs in years beyond the forff ecasted years.
The Company's 2022 estimated futff urt e production costs attributabla e to proved undeveloped reserves of $11.05 per BOE

horizontal wells and $43.43 per BOE forff
As of December 31, 2022, a signififf cant portion of the Company's proved developed producing wells are comprised
of legacy vertical wells that have higher production costs, on a per BOE basis, than the Company's proved developed
producing horizontal wells. The total proved reserves production cost per BOE of $18.41 is comprised of $17.15 per
BOE forff
vertical wells.
The estimated futff urt e production costs of $11.05 per BOE associated with proved undeveloped reserves, comprised
entirely of horizontal wells, is lower than the $17.15 per BOE average of the Company's producing horizontal wells
included in total proved reserves. The lower costs take into account the initial production rates of new wells, which
are higher at the beginning of a well's lifeff , and result in a lower overall production cost, on a per BOE basis, when
looked at over the well's total productive lifeff versus a well that is later in its productive lifeff . In addition, the futff urt e
production costs on proved undeveloped horizontal wells also reflff ect the economies of scale of adding the wells to
existing infrff astrucrr
turt e, allowing the Company to spread certain fiff xed costs over a larger production volume.

The standardized measure of discounted futff urt e net cash flff ows is computed by appl
ying commodity prices used in
determining proved reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractuat
l arrangements) to
the estimated futff urt e production of proved reserves less estimated futff urt e expenditurt es (based on year-end estimated costs) to be
incurred in developing and producd ing the proved reserves, discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to reflff ect the estimated
timing of the futff urt e cash flff ows. Futurt e income taxes are calculated by comparing undiscounted futff urt e cash flff ows to the tax
basis of oil and gas properties plus availabla e carryfrr orff wards and credits and appl
ying the current tax rates to the diffff eff rence. The
discounted futff urtt e cash flff ow estimates do not include the effff eff cts of the Company's derivative contracts.
a
a
Discounted futff urt e cash flff ow estimates, like those shown below, are not intended to represent estimates of the faff ir value
of oil and gas properties. Estimates of faff ir value should also consider probabla e and possible reserves, anticipated futff urt e
commodity prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks associated with futff urt e production.
Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of faff ir value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
external purpos
The Company's management is responsible forff
establa ishing and maintaining adequate internal control over fiff nancial
reporting. The Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting is a process designed by or under the supervision of the
Company's principal executive offff iff cer and principal fiff nancial offff iff cer and effff eff cted by the Board, management and other
personnel to provide reasonabla e assurance regarding the reliabia lity of fiff nancial reporting and the preparation of the Company's
es in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal
fiff nancial statements forff
control over fiff nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in
reasonabla e detail accurately and faff irly reflff ect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide
reasonabla e assurance that transactions are recorded as necessaryrr
to permit preparation of fiff nancial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditurt es of the issuer are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and (3) provide reasonabla e assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material
effff eff ct on the fiff nancial statements.
rr
The Company's management, with the participation of its principal executive offff iff cer and principal fiff nancial offff iff cer
assessed the effff eff ctiveness, as of December 31, 2022, of the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting based on the
criteria forff
effff eff ctive internal control over fiff nancial reporting establa ished in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013),"
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management
determined that the Company maintained effff eff ctive internal control over fiff nancial reporting at a reasonabla e assurance level as of
December 31, 2022, based on those criteria.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting fiff rm that audited the consolidated fiff nancial
statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effff eff ctiveness
of the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The report, which expresses an unqualififf ed
opinion on the effff eff ctiveness of the Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022, is included in

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Pioneer Naturtt al Resources Company
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Pioneer Naturt al Resources Company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022,
based on criteria establa ished in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (2013 frff amework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Pioneer Naturt al Resources Company (the
Company) maintained, in all material respects, effff eff ctive internal control over fiff nancial reporting as of December 31, 2022,
based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated
statements of operations, equity and cash flff ows forff
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the
related notes and our report dated Februarr
ryrr 23, 2023 expressed an unqualififf ed opinion thereon.
Basis forff Opinion
The Company's management is responsible forff maintaining effff eff ctive internal control over fiff nancial reporting and forff
its
assessment of the effff eff ctiveness of internal control over fiff nancial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report
on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over
fiff nancial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting fiff rm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. feff deral securities laws and the appl
icabla e rulrr es and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
a
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perforff m the
audit to obtain reasonabla e assurance about
whether effff eff ctive internal control over fiff nancial reporting was maintained in all
material respects.
a
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over fiff nancial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effff eff ctiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and
perforff ming such other procedures as we considered necessaryrr
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonabla e basis forff
our opinion.
Defiff nition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonabla e assurance regarding the
reliabia lity of fiff nancial reporting and the preparation of fiff nancial statements forff
es in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over fiff nancial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonabla e detail, accurately and faff irly reflff ect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonabla e assurance that transactions are recorded as necessaryrr
to permit
preparation of fiff nancial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditurt es of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the
company; and (3) provide reasonabla e assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effff eff ct on the fiff nancial statements.
external purpos
rr
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over fiff nancial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effff eff ctiveness to futff urt e periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Free cash flow (“FCF”) is a non-GAAP financial measure. As used by the Company, FCF is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for
changes in operating assets and liabilities, less capital expenditures. The Company believes this non-GAAP measure is a financial indicator of the Company’s ability
to internally fund acquisitions, debt maturities, dividends and share repurchases after capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions, asset retirement obligations,
capitalized interest, geological and geophysical general and administrative expense, information technology and corporate facilities).
Future dividends, whether base or variable, are authorized and determined by the Company’s board of directors in its sole discretion. Decisions regarding the
payment of dividends are subject to a number of considerations at the time, including without limitation the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, the
Company’s results of operations and anticipated future results of operations, the level of cash reserves the Company maintains to fund future capital expenditures
or other needs, and other factors the board of directors deems relevant. The Company can provide no assurance that dividends will be authorized or declared in the
future or the amount of any future dividends. Any future variable dividends, if declared and paid, will by their nature fluctuate based on the Company’s free cash
flow, which will depend on a number of factors beyond the Company’s control, including commodities prices.
