Pioneer Resources is the largest acreage holder in the Cline Shale, which is part of the Permian Basin.

On May 11, 2016, at the Citi Global Energy & Utilities Conference in Hong Kong's Mandarin Oriental, Scott Sheffield, CEO of Pioneer, along with support from Tom Spalding, a geologist and Pioneer's vice president for geoscience, announced that more than 10 billion and possibly as much as 75 billion barrels of oil equivalent had been discovered in Permian shales.
