As of December 31, 2017, the company had 985 million barrels of oil equivalent (6.03×109 GJ) of proved reserves, of which 52% was petroleum, 19% was natural gas liquids, and 29% was natural gas. All of the company's reserves are in the United States.[1]

In 2017, the company produced 272 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (1,660,000 GJ) per day, of which 73% was in the Spraberry Trend, 15% was in the Eagle Ford Group shale, 7% was in the Raton Basin, and 5% was in the Western Panhandle of Texas.[1]

History

Pioneer Natural Resources was created in 1997 by the merger of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company and MESA Inc., owned by T. Boone Pickens.[4]

In 2002, Pioneer made discoveries in its offshore Oooguruk field, west of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. In 2008, Pioneer became the first independent operator to produce oil on the Alaska North Slope. These holdings were sold for $550 million in 2013.[5]

In 2004, Pioneer Natural Resources acquired Evergreen Resources, Inc. in a $2.1 billion transaction.[6]

In June 2010, the company announced a $1.15 billion Eagle Ford Shale midsteam joint venture with Reliance Industries.[7] The business was sold to Enterprise Products Partners for $2.15 billion in 2015.[8]

In April 2012, the company acquired Carmeuse Industrial Sands, a silica sand manufacturer, for $297 million.[9]

In May 2013, the company sold a 40% interest in approximately 207,000 net acres (84,000 net hectares) leased in horizontal Wolfcamp Shale to Sinochem Petroleum USA LLC, a subsidiary of Sinochem Group, for $1.7 billion.[10]

In October 2013, the Company sold 100% of its interests in Alaska for cash proceeds of $550 million to Caelus Energy Alaska, marking an end to its Alaska operations. [11]

In 2014, the company sold non-producing assets in the Hugoton Basin to Linn Energy for $340 million.[12]

In May 2016, CEO and chairman Scott D. Sheffield retired and was succeeded by Timothy Dove.[13]

In June 2016, the company acquired 28,000 acres in the Midland Basin for $435 million.[14]

In March 2017, the company sold 2,000 acres in Martin County, Texas for $266 million.[15]
