Pioneer Natural Resources Will Share Regional Prospects at 2016 DUG Permian Basin Conference

HOUSTON, Feb. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Recent activity shows the Permian Basin remains the nation’s top oil province. Stacked deep with layers of resource-rich rock, there are millions of acres of potential drilling sites in the region. Themed “Room to Work,” Hart Energy’s DUG Permian Basin conference gives attendees an in-depth look at what’s working for oil and gas producers in the region.  The event takes place May 23-25 at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

With a recent $1.4-billion capital raise, Pioneer Natural Resources will continue developing its decades-long understanding of the Spraberry and Wolfcamp plays. Executive Vice President Joey Hall leads the company’s operations in the Permian. Hall will reveal plans for 2016.
