☆ Exxon buying Pioneer will trigger $71 million in executive windfalls
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( David French | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Sheffield is one of the few Pioneer executives who will have a post-deal role - he is set to join Exxon's board. Changes to pay packages that make executive compensation more lucrative in proximity to a sale announcement can also raise eyebrows. The expected payouts do not count whatever Pioneer stock management owns and will be acquired as part of the Exxon deal. Exxon's acquisition of Pioneer will be paid for using new Exxon shares, meaning shares in Pioneer owned by management will be replaced by Exxon stock. It was unclear whether management would have any restrictions on when they could sell the Exxon stock they would ultimately own.

The acquisition would be Exxon's biggest since its $81 billion deal for Mobil in 1998 and would expand its footprint in one of the most lucrative regions of the U.S. oil patch. Pioneer, which had a market value as of Thursday of $50 billion, is the third-largest producer of oil in the Permian basin after Chevron Corp (CVX.N) and ConocoPhillips (COP.N). Exxon produced about 620,000 boed in the Permian basin in the second quarter, a record for the company. Chevron Corp (CVX.N), for example, agreed in May to acquire shale producer PDC Energy Inc in a stock-and-debt transaction worth $7.6 billion.

☆ US shale producer Pioneer's founder and CEO Sheffield to retire
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Liz Hampton | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

April 26 (Reuters) - Scott Sheffield, who built U.S. oil producer Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD.N) into the largest producer in Texas, will retire at the end of the year, the company said on Wednesday. With its $52 billion market value, Pioneer has repeatedly been discussed as a potential candidate for U.S. oil majors. Sheffield, 70, was Pioneer’s founding CEO from 1997 to 2016 and its chairman since 1999. In an interview, Sheffield declined to comment on merger rumors, noting Pioneer "will always do the right thing for shareholders." Richard Dealy, Pioneer's chief operating officer and former finance chief, was named CEO, effective upon Sheffield's retirement.

April 26 (Reuters) - Pioneer Natural Resources Co (PXD.N) on Wednesday said its chief executive officer, Scott Sheffield, will retire by the end of 2023, sending the U.S. shale producer's shares down 2% in extended trading. Sheffield, an energy veteran, served as Pioneer’s founding CEO from 1997 to 2016 and chairman since 1999. Its net income also fell 39% to $1.2 billion from $2 billion last year as oil prices cooled. The oil and gas producer anticipates second-quarter oil production between 357,000 and 372,000 barrels per day and total oil and gas production of between 647,000 and 702,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Natural gas producer EQT Corp (EQT.N) also beat profit estimates for the first quarter on higher sales volumes.

☆ Pioneer beats on earnings, announces succession, tweaks dividend — a mix pressuring the oil stock
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Jeff Marks | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Pioneer set its second-quarter base plus variable dividend at $3.34 a share – factoring in a base dividend of $1.25, which was raised 14% from $1.10, and a variable dividend of $2.09. Management wants more flexibility to repurchase shares instead of paying a huge variable dividend. This means that Pioneer will likely shift what previously went to the variable dividend into share buybacks. Notably, Pioneer doesn't hedge its oil production, making its realized pricing closer to that of the underlying commodity. Oil production is forecast between 357,000 to 372,000 barrels per day, which at the midpoint tops estimates of 364,000.
