E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION As oil/liquids-driven activity has increased, vertical integration has become the hot new sourcing strategy amongst some operators New Sourcing Strategy or Near-term Solution? Some operators have been increasing pursuing vertical integration for key goods/services - Is this a sourcing fad or new operator best practice? - What is driving this trend? - What type/size of operators are pursuing this strategy? - What does this mean to service companies? Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 7

E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION Vertical integration is driven by two primary factors: pricing and challenges obtaining equipment/services when needed Drivers of Vertical Integration Pricing pressures continue - Supply/Demand fundamentals have driven major pricing increases across nearly every product/service - Significant price escalation is projected to continue through 2012 - Some operators boast significant well cost savings from vertical integration Security of supply is challenged - US onshore operators continue to announce record breaking drilling programs - Large backlogs of uncompleted wells exists for nearly every major onshore player - Infrastructure challenges in key operating regions cause additional supply chain constraints (e.g., Bakken) - Service companies are forced to prioritize supply of key products/services to their key customers In addition to securing supply, some operators boast significant average well cost savings from vertical integration Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 8

E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION Pioneer’s vertical integration strategy extends to rigs, pressure pumping equipment, and various other surface equipment Pioneer’s Vertical Integration Approach Pioneer has chosen to vertically integrate (i.e. own and operate) many of its critical services that are typically delivered by service companies and are generally the largest spend categories It has vertically integrated in the following service areas: - Drilling rigs: currently owns 15 rigs - Frac fleets: by year-end 2011, it will own 8 frac fleets and it expects delivery of 3 fleets in mid- 2012 for a total of roughly 300,000 HHP that is company-owned - Coiled tubing units: by year-end, it will own 4 CT units - Pulling units: currently owns 31 pulling units - Various other equipment including water hauling trucks, BOPs, frac tanks, etc. - Also includes yards, buildings, and storage facilities to support vertical integration While the company does not own frac sand quarries itself (as does EOG), it does source its frac sand directly, through Carmeuse and potentially suppliers, rather than relying on 3rd parties - It has sand supply in place through 2015 It has also contracted for cementing services through 2016 Pioneer received 12 rigs and 3 frac fleets near year-end 2010; given equipment order lead times, it likely began implementing its vertical integration strategy during the middle of 2010 Source: PacWest analysis, company presentations Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 20

E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION Pioneer claims that its vertical integration model will generate a 45% IRR on a third-party savings basis, excluding managerial burdens Pioneer Vertical Integration Savings Pioneer has spent $440 million on vertical integration over 2011: - $300 million for equipment delivered in 2011 - $140 million for equipment to be delivered in the middle of 2012 (3 frac fleets and other) - Likely spent additional capital in 2009 to reserve orders Pioneer claims that the $440 million investment will generate a 45% IRR before taxes, though that is strictly on a cash savings basis and does not include incremental managerial burdens of these “businesses”; does not consider cost of capital Service Area/Savings Spraberry Eagle Ford Barnett Total Frac Fleets YE Fleets 5 2 1 8 Fracs/Fleet/Year ~115 ~55 ~60 ~93 Savings/Frac $0.35MM $1.70MM $0.75MM $0.58MM Annual Savings $200MM $185MM $45MM $430MM Rigs & Other Services Annual Savings $30MM - - $30MM Annualized Cash Savings $230MM $185MM $45MM $460MM Source: PacWest analysis, company presentations Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 25

E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION If timed properly, vertical integration can yield significant near-term benefits to operators, but the model also entails significant risks Vertical Integration Strategic Considerations Benefits Risks Ensures equipment availability and avoids Bear risk of idle equipment/staff if price delays during a tight supply market environment necessitates activity reduction Potentially lowers per well costs if service Added enterprise complexity can potentially business is operated efficiently serve as distraction for management/staff Potentially increases per well costs if service business is not operated efficiently Implications Model can yield significant benefits during times of tight supply but those benefits become marginal as supply market loosens and turn negative as the market collapses Operators need to be strategic about the “exit opportunity” – requires market foresight to know when the market is going to loosen and when to you should get out of the business North American supply market is just beginning to loosen from its peak in mid-2011 and things appear to be likely to equalize by late-2012 or early-2013 – Market opportunity for vertical integration may be over for operators Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 34

E&P VERTICAL INTEGRATION Greater operator vertical integration represents a potential strategic threat to service companies Strategic Threat? Larger independents increasing looking at peer’s well cost advantages with a keen eye However, several factors reduce the vertical integration opportunity: - Backlogs for frac fleets and other key equipment currently exceed 9-12 months in many cases - Market tightness in key equipment and services appears to be loosening and moving towards a more stable balance – the ideal time to seize the opportunity was likely 12-18 months ago, when a handful of prescient operators placed orders Given this, PacWest does not believe vertical integration is a new, long-term operator sourcing trend - It is an interesting short- to medium-term trend to note and monitor, but it does not represent a meaningful strategic threat to service companies Client Confidential © PacWest 2011 | All rights reserved | 35
