1. Ownership Change: Ownership Change: It is Pioneer’s policy that changes will not be made without a copy of the recorded conveyance. We will suspend interest before receiving the recorded conveyance, if contacted by the seller or we receive an executed copy of the conveyance. Once you have the recorded deed (recorded in all counties where the property is located), please email it to OwnerRelationsInquiry@pxd.com.  Your change will be worked in the order in which it is received, and it is our goal to complete these transfers within 30-45 days of receipt.

• If the owner’s estate was NOT probated in Texas: If the probate proceedings were filed outside the State of Texas, they have no jurisdiction over property located in Texas. To establish title, it will be necessary that authenticated (exemplified) copies of the probate proceedings need to be recorded in the counties where the properties are located. Each state has different estate requirements and documentation, therefore some of the below may vary by state.

1. Application to Admit Will to Probate
2. Order Admitting Will to Probate
3. Letters Testamentary
4. Last Will and Testament
5. Execute a Distribution Deed from the executor of the estate to the devisees or Court Order doing the same

1. Copy of the Death Certificate
2. Judicial Determination of Heirship
3. Complete list of heirs with addresses, emails, telephone numbers and Tax I.D.’s

* Document #2 must be recorded in the county where the property is located for title purposes. If this is not from a court in Texas, then authenticated (exemplified) copies must be recorded. We will accept a Judicial Determination of Heirship from any state.

You cannot add your spouse or other individual to your account. You can, however, provide us written consent to provide information to that individual on your behalf if you’d like.

To add a name to your account, you will need to provide us with a recorded deed (recorded in all counties where the property is located) conveying your interest to you and the other individual as joint tenants.

Provide a copy of the Trust Agreement, along with a deed from the individual(s) into the Trust, recorded in the counties where the properties are located. The deed also needs to name a Trustee of the Trust.

Please provide a copy of the trust agreement naming the Successor Trustee. This document does not need to be recorded.

Pioneer cannot provide a valuation for interests. We can provide a payment history to assist you.

Pioneer cannot provide any letter of this type, because there are too many variables involved with oil and gas production, such as variable pricing, mechanical issues, force majeure factors such as natural disasters, etc.

1099 documents are mailed by January 31 of each year. If you need a copy of your 1099, please contact the Revenue department by calling 432-571-5260 or by email at revenueowner.inquiry@pxd.com.

Pioneer makes revenue distribution settlements by the last workday of each month. The date your revenue is paid depends on when Pioneer receives payment from our purchasers of production. You will receive payment no earlier than 30 days after the month of production and no later than 60 days after the month of production. For newly drilled wells, it usually takes several months or longer to get title reviewed, division orders mailed and initial production paid.

Pioneer offers an on-line system that allows you to see your revenue payment detail. Visit EnergyLink, and log in to view and print your information. Contact EnergyLink via phone at 1-888-573-3364 or via email at help@energylink.com.

Typically, this is because your account is in a minimum-pay status. Pioneer remits revenue checks once a balance exceeds $100.00. All revenue, regardless of the amount, is disbursed once a year in September. If your amount is above the minimum payment, please allow two weeks before contacting Pioneer if you receive your revenue by check and not direct deposit.

Pioneer will reissue a lost, stolen or stale-dated check after six weeks from date of check issue. Please download the Request for Check Replacement form and return the completed form, along with the stale-dated check, to the address noted on the form to request a replacement check.

Pioneer does not offer voluntary tax withholding.

Pioneer has a $100.00 minimum payment amount. You will receive a check once your revenue amount reaches $100.00, or once a year in September when all minimum payment amounts are released.

A Division Order is a Pioneer-issued document that describes the property, operator, legal description, owner's remittance address, and owner's decimal interest and interest type in the property. The owner is asked to sign and return the Division Order. Pioneer uses this information to remit proceeds to the owner, if Pioneer has disbursement responsibility.

Many factors contribute to your payment, including: market conditions, fluctuating commodity prices, regulatory or contractual changes, production volumes, seasonal conditions, and well downtime.
