The information in this document includes forward-looking statements that

prospects of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (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

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. These and other risks are
described in the Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2002 that are available
from the Company or the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Within this Current Report on Form 8-K, the following oil and gas terms
have specific meanings: "Bbl" means a standard barrel of 42 United States
gallons; "MMBtu" means one million British thermal units and is an energy
equivalent measure of natural gas; "Mcf" means one thousand cubic feet and is a
measure of natural gas volume; and, "NYMEX" means The New York Mercantile
Exchange.
On July 24, 2002, the Company issued a news release that is attached
hereto as exhibit 99.1. The news release announced the Company's financial and
operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, and
