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.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(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

Presentation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated
financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2003 and for the three and
six month periods ended 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 and net
income 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, respectively, have
been reclassified to other expense.

Stock-based compensation. The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation granted under it's the long- 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 of the three and six month periods ended 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 and net income per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock- Based Compensation" to
stock-based employee compensation:

NOTE C. Asset Acquisition

On March 28, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 25 percent working
interest that it did not already own in the Falcon field, the Harrier field and
surrounding satellite prospects in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico for $119.4
million, including $113.1 million of cash paid upon closing, $1.7 million of
asset retirement obligations assumed and $4.6 million of closing adjustments.

NOTE D. Derivative Financial Instruments

Fair value hedges. The Company monitors capital markets and trends to
identify opportunities to enter into and terminate interest rate swaps with the
objective of minimizing costs of capital. During February 2003, the Company
entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of the fair value
of its 9-5/8 percent senior notes. Under the terms of the interest rate swap
contracts, the Company was to receive a fixed annual rate of 9-5/8 percent on
$250 million notional amount and agreed to pay the counterparties a variable
rate on the notional amount equal to the six-month London Interbank Offered
Rate, reset semi-annually, plus a weighted average margin of 566.4 basis points.
During May 2003, the Company terminated the 9-5/8 percent senior notes interest
rate swap contracts for $11.4 million of cash proceeds. The cash proceeds were
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
fair value of the remaining term of the interest rate swap contracts is included
in "Proceeds from disposition of assets" in the Company's Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003.

As of June 30, 2003, the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt
in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets included $32.8 million of
incremental liability attributable to unamortized deferred hedge gains and
losses realized from fair value hedge agreements terminated during 2003, 2002
and 2001. The amortization of deferred hedge gains reduced the Company's
reported interest expense by $6.0 million and $2.7 million during the three
month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and by $11.9 million
and $5.6 million during the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

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
contracts and the weighted average NYMEX prices for those contracts as of June
30, 2003:

Natural gas liquids prices. During the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not enter into any NGL hedge contracts.

Gas prices. The Company employs a policy of hedging a portion of its gas
production based on the index price upon which the gas is actually sold, or
based on NYMEX prices if NYMEX prices are highly correlated with the index
prices, in order to mitigate the basis risk between NYMEX prices and actual
index prices. The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding gas hedge
contracts and the weighted average index prices for those contracts as of June

Hedge ineffectiveness and excluded items. During the three month periods
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company recognized other expense of $503
thousand and $268 thousand, respectively, related to the ineffective portions of
its cash flow hedging instruments. During the six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, the Company recognized other expenses of $2.3 million and $346
thousand, respectively, related to the ineffective portion of its cash flow
hedging instruments.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") - deferred hedge
gains (losses), net. As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, "AOCI - deferred
hedge gains (losses), net" represented net deferred losses of $152.8 million and
net deferred gains of $9.6 million, respectively. The "AOCI - deferred hedge
gains (losses), net" balance as of June 30, 2003 was comprised of $188.3 million
of unrealized deferred hedge losses on the effective portions of open commodity
cash flow hedges and $35.5 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges. The decrease in "AOCI - deferred hedge gains (losses), net" during the
six months ended 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
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 on
terminated cash flow hedges are fixed.

During the twelve month period ending June 30, 2004, the Company expects
to reclassify $105.4 million of net deferred losses associated with open cash
flow hedges and $12.3 million of net deferred gains on terminated cash flow
hedges from "AOCI - deferred hedge gains (losses), net" to oil and gas revenue.

The following table sets forth the scheduled reclassifications of
deferred hedge gains and losses on terminated cash flow hedges that will be
recognized in the Company's future oil and gas revenues:

deferred until the indicated future periods: (i) $22.7 million of deferred
losses due during each of the third and fourth quarters of 2003, (ii) $1.2
million of deferred losses due during 2004, and (iii) $209 thousand of deferred
gains to be received during 2005.

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- 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 $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




PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2003
(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.

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 June 30,
2003, the Company has settled $21.7 million of the original claim amounts. As of
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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


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 Per Share Before Cumulative Effect of Change in
Accounting Principle

Basic income per share before cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle is computed by dividing income 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 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 and six month periods ended June 30,
2003 and 2002:

(a) Common stock options to purchase 1,364,706 shares and 1,639,032 shares of
common stock were outstanding but not included in the computations of
diluted income per share for the three month periods ended June 30, 2003
and 2002, respectively, and common stock options to purchase 1,368,612
shares and 1,971,461 shares of common stock were outstanding but not
included in the computations of diluted income per share for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively, because the exercise
prices of the options were greater than the average market price of the
common shares and would have been anti- dilutive to the computations.

(b) On May 15, 2003, the Company awarded 4,425 shares of restricted stock in
partial payment of director fees. These director fee awards vest on a
quarterly pro-rata basis during the year ended May 15, 2004. During the
three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company issued 9,500 restricted
shares of the Company's common stock to key employees. The restricted
shares issued to the key employees vest on the third anniversaries of their
issuances.

PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

The information included in Item 2 and Item 3 of this document includes
forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor Provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements, and the business prospects of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer" or the "Company"), are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties
which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, among other things, volatility of oil and gas prices, product supply
and demand, competition, international operations and associated international
political and economic instability, government regulation or action, litigation,
the costs and results of drilling and operations, the Company's ability to
replace reserves or implement its business plans, access to and cost of capital,
uncertainties about estimates of reserves, quality of technical data and
environmental risks, acts of war and terrorism. These and other risks are
described in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K that is available
from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Financial and Operating Performance

The Company's financial and operating performance for the second quarter
of 2003 was highlighted by continued production growth, primarily associated
with a full quarter of production from the Company's deepwater Gulf of Mexico
Canyon Express gas project and the Company-operated Falcon field, which is the
second of five significant projects that the Company plans to bring on
production through early 2004. The production growth realized by the Company
together with favorable worldwide oil and North American gas prices have
resulted in significant increases in Pioneer's net income and net cash provided
by operating activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, as compared to the same periods of 2002.

The Company reported net income of $77.2 million ($.65 per diluted share)
and $161.4 million ($1.36 per diluted share) for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to net income of $11.1 million
($.10 per share) and $9.2 million ($.08 per share) for the same periods of 2002.
The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 includes a $15.4
million ($.13 per share) benefit from the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle, net of tax, associated with the Company's adoption of
Statement of Accounting Principles No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("SFAS 143"). See Notes B and E of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" for additional information
regarding the Company's adoption of new accounting pronouncements.

The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $189.9
million and $324.2 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2003, respectively, representing increases of $99.3 million, or 110 percent, and
$183.6 million, or 131 percent, over the net cash provided by operating
activities of the same respective periods of 2002. Net cash provided by
operating activities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002
was $90.6 million and $140.6 million, respectively. During the three months
ended June 30, 2003, the Company used its net cash provided by operating
activities, together with proceeds from the disposition of assets, to fund
$134.3 million of additions to oil and gas properties and to repay $57.2 million

During the first six months of 2003, the Company incurred $395.1 million
in capital expenditures including $124.7 million for development activities,

during March 2003. The following tables summarize the Company's development
drilling and exploration and extension drilling activities for the six months
