Although his day ahead was going to be very challenging, he was already looking forward to his vacation back home in the United States where his family was domiciled. The stint in Ashgabat had proven to be quite a challenge. He had jumped at the opportunity to oversee country operations in Turkmenistan when Pioneer Energy, the U.S. independent, inherited some exploration acreage following its merger with Prospectors International. In contrast to Pioneer’s historical focus on oil, the main attraction in the Turkmen fields of South Yolotan and Derweze was gas. The virgin venture into natural gas came at a time when the super majors were placing large bets on LNG as a fuel of the future. Although a very small player on the global scene, Pioneer was willing to proceed with Prospectors’ original plans to use this opportunity to evaluate the economics of gas, the technology it entailed, and the business side of its trading operations. It promised to be a very good cash flow generator, but certainly one with a lot of thorny issues that needed sorting through.

Bob was indeed lucky that his staff had summarized the key issues that were to be discussed and resolved at each meeting. These decisions would be crucial, especially since he did not want to be pulled away while spending quality time with his family at their ranch just outside Dallas. Pioneer Energy: At the Crossroads of the Energy Revolution Pioneer Energy was forged from a merger between Pioneer Oil, a West Texas company, and Prospectors International, a Dutch company that had been founded to explore in the North Sea. Although roughly comparable in size when they first merged, they could not have been more different in their approach to the energy business and the way they went about exploring and producing their reserves. Pioneer had been a very flexible and nimble operation that had prided itself on its ability to grow quickly. It was indeed an explorer’s paradise reflective of the swashbuckling heroes of the great oil age who transformed Texas. It largely relied on an able team of regional leaders who had almost total control over the areas that fell under the region’s domain. At the time of the merger,
