INTRODUCTION

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 is filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission by Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a
Delaware corporation ("Pioneer"), and Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Pioneer USA"), in connection with the offer by Pioneer to
purchase all outstanding limited partnership interests of 46 limited
partnerships in which Pioneer USA serves as general partner. Of those 46 limited
partnerships, 25 are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Reporting Partnerships"). Pioneer and Pioneer USA are
affiliates of the Reporting Partnerships, which are the issuers of the class of
equity securities that is the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction. Pioneer,
Pioneer USA, the Reporting Partnerships and the remaining 21 limited
partnerships that are not subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Nonreporting Partnerships") expect to
enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") at the time
the proxy statement/prospectus referred to below is cleared by the SEC for
mailing to the limited partners. Under the Merger Agreement, the Reporting
Partnerships and the Nonreporting Partnerships will be merged with and into
Pioneer USA and the partners of each Reporting Partnership and Nonreporting
Partnership will be entitled to receive an amount of Pioneer common stock and
cash based on the merger value of the Reporting Partnership or Nonreporting
Partnership, as applicable. The merger value for each Reporting Partnership and
Nonreporting Partnership is equal to its reserve value and its net working
capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001.

Concurrently with the filing of this statement, Pioneer is filing with the
SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy
statement/prospectus prepared by Pioneer and Pioneer USA. The proxy
statement/prospectus solicits proxies for a special meeting of limited partners
of each Reporting Partnership and Nonreporting Partnership to be held to vote on
a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. A copy of the preliminary proxy
statement/prospectus is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1).

The information in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby incorporated by
reference in response to Items 1 through 15 of Schedule 13e-3, except as set
forth below.

Item 2 Subject Company Information.

Prior public offerings (Item 1002(e) of Regulation M-A). Not
applicable.

Item 3 Identity and Background of Filing Person.

Name and address (Item 1003(a) of Regulation M-A). The address of the
directors and executive officers of each of Pioneer and Pioneer USA is c/o
Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 1400 Williams Square West, 5205 North
O'Connor Blvd., Irving, Texas 75039.

Business and background of entities (Item 1003(b) of Regulation M-A).
None of the persons with respect to whom information is provided in response to
this Item was convicted in a criminal proceeding during the past five years
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to any
judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years (except for
matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement) that resulted in a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining the person from future violations of,
or prohibiting activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or a
finding of any violation of federal or state securities laws.

Business and background of natural persons (Item 1003(c) of Regulation
M-A). None of the persons with respect to whom information is provided in
response to this Item was convicted in a criminal proceeding during the past

to any judicial or administrative proceeding during the past five years (except
for matters that were dismissed without sanction or settlement) that resulted in

Item is a United States citizen.

Item 7 Purpose, Alternatives, Reasons and Effects.

Effects (Item 1013(d) of Regulation M-A). The benefits and detriments
to each partnership and its unaffiliated limited partners are set forth in the
following sections of the proxy statement/prospectus: Summary - Benefits to the
Limited Partners, Risk Factors, The Merger of Each Partnership -Distribution of
Pioneer Common Stock and Cash Payment, - Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
Consequences, - Accounting Treatment, -Effect of

- 2 -
3

Merger of Each Partnership on Limited Partners Who Do Not Vote in Favor of the
Merger; No Appraisal or Dissenter Rights. For purposes of quantifying the
benefits and detriments of the proposed merger transaction, we have compared the
merger value for each partnership to its going concern value, liquidation value,
historical distributions and, if applicable, repurchase offers. See the
following sections of the proxy statement/prospectus: Summary Table on pages 4
and 5, Appendix A and the supplement for each partnership.

Unlike a securities acquisition transaction, in the proposed
merger transaction, each partnership will merge with and into Pioneer USA, with
Pioneer USA surviving. As the survivor, Pioneer USA will own 100% of the assets
and liabilities of each partnership. Pioneer and Pioneer USA will account for
the merger transaction using purchase method accounting. Accordingly, the book
value of each partnership (approximately $59 million in the aggregate for all 46
partnerships) will be reflected on Pioneer's books based on the purchase price
paid by Pioneer and Pioneer USA (approximately $104.4 million, including
transaction costs, in the aggregate for all 46 partnerships).

Item 13. Financial Statements.

None of the partnerships has any debt. Accordingly, the calculation of
a ratio of earnings to fixed charges is not meaningful.

Item 16. Exhibits.

(a)(1) Preliminary copies of notice of special meetings of limited
partners and proxy statement/prospectus, subject to
completion, dated April 2001 (incorporated by reference to
Pioneer's Registration Statement on Form S-4, Registration No.
