Hosts Analyst Conference
DALLAS, October 16, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR), announced
that it is hosting a conference for analysts on Oct. 17 and 18 in
New Orleans with several of the Company's management presenting
specific operational and financial updates. The slide presentation
that will be used at the conference will be available on Denbury's
website, www.denbury.com on Oct. 17, and will include updated operational
and comparative financial data and an in-depth review of the Company's
significant properties. To date, 23 sell-side analysts and selected
asset managers have signed up for the informational field trip to
Little Creek Field on Thursday and the Friday morning New Orleans
presentations. Registration is ongoing and can be made through the
contact numbers below.
The Company has returned most of its fields to production following
Hurricane Lili. Most fields had little or no damage and were back
on production within a few days following the storm. One offshore
field, South Marsh Island 49, which was recently producing between
1,300 and 1,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("BOE/d") net
to the Company, suffered extensive damage. The Company expects to
have 60-70% of this field's production restored within the next
week or two, although the remaining 30-40% of its production capacity
may take several weeks, or even months, to repair. The cost of these
repairs is not expected to be significant to the Company as they
should be covered by insurance (other than the deductible amount).
The Company's preliminary estimates are that it has lost approximately
100,000 barrels of oil equivalent of production (predominately natural
gas) from Oct. 1 through Oct. 15 due to the storm, with the only
significant ongoing production losses coming from South Marsh Island
49 as previously outlined. This loss of revenue is not covered by
insurance. As a point of reference, the Company expects to produce
slightly more than 13.1 million BOEs during 2002.
Denbury Resources Inc. (www.denbury.com) is a growing independent
oil and gas company and since 1993, all of its assets have been
located in the United States. The Company is the largest oil and
natural gas operator in Mississippi, holds key operating acreage
onshore Louisiana and has a growing presence in the offshore Gulf
of Mexico areas. The Company increases the value of acquired properties
in its core areas through a combination of exploitation drilling
and proven engineering extraction practices.

Provides Operational Update
DALLAS, October 3, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR; "Denbury"
or the "Company") today reported that the increase in third quarter
production related to the properties acquired from COHO, which closed
in late August, was approximately equally offset by shut-ins and
delays in its operations as a result of Tropical Storm Isidore in
late September.
The Company's preliminary estimate of third quarter 2002 production
volumes is between 35,000 and 35,500 BOE/d, within the range of
its production guidance prior to the COHO acquisition.
The Company has shut-in most of its Gulf of Mexico and onshore
Louisiana production again due to deteriorating weather conditions
from Hurricane Lili. Total production volumes affected by the closure
are in excess of 90 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent
per day, predominately natural gas. It is anticipated that the onshore
production will be shut-in for only one to two days, while the offshore
production will remain shut-in for up to a week, assuming that there
is no significant damage as a result of the hurricane. All Denbury
personnel and associated contract personnel have been evacuated.
Additional Hedging
Separately, the Company announced that as part of its regular hedging
program it has recently obtained additional swaps (forward sales)
and no-cost collars from five different institutions for its 2003
and 2004 production. For 2003, the Company swapped 2,000 Bbls/d
at $25.70 and swapped 10 MMcf/d at $3.90 per MMBtu. For 2004, the
Company swapped 5,000 Bbls/d at an average price of $23.04 and obtained
a no-cost natural gas collar for 30 MMcf/d with a price floor of
$3.50 per MMBtu and a ceiling price of $4.45 per MMBtu. Although
the Company has not completed its production forecast for 2003 or
2004, it expects that these hedges, combined with its prior hedges,
will cover between 70% and 80% of its anticipated 2003 oil and natural
gas production, between 40% and 50% of its anticipated 2004 oil
production and between 20% and 30% of its anticipated 2004 natural
gas production.
Denbury Resources Inc. is a growing independent oil and natural
gas company engaged in acquisition, development and exploration
activities in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. The Company holds significant
reserves and production in Mississippi, where it is the largest
producer of oil and natural gas, onshore in Louisiana and in the
offshore Gulf of Mexico. The Company increases the value of acquired
properties in its core areas through a combination of exploitation
drilling and proven engineering extraction practices.
This press release contains forward-looking statements, consisting
of opinions, forecasts, projections, guidance and other statements,
other than historical financial information, regarding budgeted
capital expenditures, expected production and financial results,
among others. These statements are based on assumptions that are
subject to change and to risks and uncertainties, especially volatility
in oil and gas prices, geological risks, drilling results and production
costs, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
Company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. Although management believes
the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable based on currently available information, management's
assumptions and the Company's future performance are both subject
to a wide range of business risks, and there is no assurance that
these goals and projections can or will be met. Estimates of future
financial or operating performance provided by the Company are based
on existing market conditions and engineering and geologic information
available at this time. Actual financial and operating performance
may vary from these estimates. Future performance is dependent upon
oil and gas prices, exploratory and development drilling results,
engineering and geologic information and risks and changes in market
conditions.

Completes COHO Acquisition
DALLAS, September 3, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) ("Denbury"
or the "Company") today announced the completion of its previously
announced acquisition of the Coho Energy Inc.'s ("COHO") Gulf Coast
properties.
The purchase price paid at closing was approximately $49 million,
after adjusting for interim net cash flow and minor purchase price
adjustments. There may also be a subsequent adjustment to the purchase
price after a final accounting is made during the next 30 to 60
days. The acquisition was funded with $44 million of bank financing
under the Company's existing credit facility, bringing the current
balance of the Company's bank debt to $180 million.
The Company also announced that Mr. Gareth Roberts, President
and CEO, will be presenting at the Lehman Brothers CEO Energy/Power
Conference in New York on Sept. 5, 2002 at 11:20 a.m. Mr. Robert's
presentation will be webcast and available from Denbury's website,

Announces Plans for Proposed
COHO Acquisition
DALLAS, August 21, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR), in
conjunction with Denbury President and CEO Gareth Roberts'
presentation today at a New York luncheon sponsored by the Company,
discussed its long-term plans for development of the previously
announced pending purchase of the Coho Energy Inc. ("COHO") Gulf
Coast properties for $50.3 million. Consummation of the purchase
through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court is currently scheduled for August
29th, subject to the resolution of title and environmental issues
and other normal closing adjustments.
As previously announced, Denbury estimates that the proven reserves
for this acquisition will be approximately 14.4 million barrels
of oil. Included in the acquisition is Brookhaven Field, a possible
tertiary carbon dioxide ("CO2") injection candidate located close
to the Company's 183-mile CO2 pipeline. Initial tertiary recovery
development may not be undertaken at this field for two to three
years, as the field is currently producing approximately 750 barrels
of oil per day and is still undergoing waterflood operations. Once
tertiary operations commence, the Company anticipates spending $6
to $10 million per year for the first several years, with a total
of approximately $75 to $85 million projected to be invested there
over the field's predicted life. Currently, Denbury estimates
the total proved reserves of the Brookhaven Field to be 2.9 million
barrels of oil. The Company also has preliminary estimates that
indicate around 20 million net barrels of additional oil may be
recoverable from Brookhaven Field using CO2 injection, based on
its success at Little Creek and Mallalieu Fields. Since a pilot
project has not been performed to date at this field, the Company
is not expected to immediately classify or record any of this additional
potential as proved reserves. The Company expects to convert this
potential to proved reserves as tertiary development of this field
occurs, with the initial proved reserves expected to be recognized
in two to three years.
The acquisition of Brookhaven field is part of Denbury's strategy
to expand its CO2 recovery operations throughout the Lower Tuscaloosa
oil fields of Southwest Mississippi. Denbury is strategically positioned
to develop the potential tertiary reserves in these fields because
of its ownership of CO2 reserves and associated pipeline. Denbury
operates the only active CO2 tertiary recovery operations in the
basin at Little Creek, Lazy Creek and Mallalieu Fields and has expertise
in installing and managing such an operation. Including some fields
which Denbury does not currently own and the potential at Brookhaven
Field, the Company estimates that approximately 60-75 million barrels
of additional net oil reserves (over and above the 19.7 million
barrels of proved reserves currently booked at Little Creek and
Mallalieu Fields), may be available to Denbury in the vicinity of
its pipeline through tertiary recovery operations. With the addition
of Brookhaven field, McComb field (another previously announced
acquisition expected to close during August) and other smaller fields
where leasing is still in progress (all of which are over 65% leased),
the Company estimates that it would then control 75% to 85% of the
aforementioned future potential in this area.

risks, and there is no assurance that these goals and projections

Announces Record Production
Levels and Second Quarter 2002 Results
DALLAS, August 1, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) ("Denbury"
or the "Company") today announced its second quarter 2002 financial
and operating results. The Company posted a 27% increase in production
as compared to the second quarter of 2001, resulting in its best
ever quarterly-average daily production of 35,526 barrels of oil
equivalent per day (BOE/d). The Company posted earnings for the
quarter of $13.5 million, or $0.25 per common share, despite a 7%
drop in NYMEX oil prices and a 37% drop in NYMEX natural gas prices
between the two respective quarters. This compares to earnings for
the comparative prior year quarter of $20.1 million, or $0.44 per
common share. Cash flow from operations for the quarter (excluding
the changes in other assets and liabilities) was $43.4 million,
or $0.82 per common share, as compared to cash flow during the second
quarter of 2001 of $45.2 million, or $0.98 per common share.
Continued Production Increases
Denbury's second quarter 2002 average daily production of 35,526
BOE/d was 27% higher than the 27,902 BOE/d average for the comparable
period in 2001, making it the 12th quarterly increase in the last
13 quarters. Second quarter 2002 production was balanced, with 50%
oil and 50% natural gas.
The increases in daily production are the result of strategic
acquisitions and successful development and exploitation work on
these acquisitions. Approximately 87% of the 7,624 BOE/d production
increase between the respective second quarters came from the acquisition
of Matrix Oil & Gas in July 2001, based on the production rates
at the time of acquisition. Production from the Matrix properties
averaged approximately 8,146 BOE/d (predominately natural gas) during
the second quarter of 2002, the highest quarterly average to date
from these properties, approximately 1,479 BOE/d (22%) higher than
their production rates at the time of acquisition. The Matrix acquisition
is performing better than expected, with production at or above
projections. Proved reserves associated with the Matrix acquisition
as of December 31, 2001 are up 35% since the acquisition, or up
46% based upon adding back production.
The majority of the remaining production increases relate to positive
response from the Company's Mississippi CO2 properties. Production
at Little Creek Field (including West Little Creek), during the
second quarter of 2002 averaged a net 3,701 BOE/d, almost triple
its 1,350 BOE/d production rate at the time of acquisition in August
1999. Production from Mallalieu Field, purchased in April 2001,
began to respond to the injection of CO2 which commenced in November
of 2001, increasing from approximately 75 Bbls/d at the time of
acquisition to a second quarter average of 572 Bbls/d. The production
increases from the Company's offshore properties and its CO2 properties
were partially offset by general production declines as a result
of normal depletion in its other two core areas, Eastern Mississippi
and onshore Louisiana.
Second Quarter 2002 Financial Results
Even though NYMEX oil and natural gas prices were down 7% and
37% respectively, Denbury posted a second quarter 2002 profit of
$13.5 million, or $0.25 per common share, primarily as a result
of the higher production levels. Cash flow from operations (excluding
the changes in other assets and liabilities) for the second quarter
of 2002 was $43.4 million, or $0.82 per common share. This compares
to net income of $20.1 million, or $0.44 per common share, and cash
flow of $45.2 million, or $0.98 per common share, for the comparable
period in 2001. The Company's realized natural gas prices (excluding
hedges) for the second quarter of 2002 averaged $3.51 per thousand
cubic feet (Mcf), down from the average of $4.92 per Mcf during
the second quarter of 2001. Even though the NYMEX oil prices declined
7% between the respective quarters, the Company's net realized oil
prices (excluding hedges) were identical for both quarters at $22.94
per Bbl. The Company's oil price discount to NYMEX was one of the
lowest in the Company's history as a result of favorable movement
of certain oil indices and prices, including the West Texas Sour
oil postings and the price of Mayan crude. The Company's growth
in production from its CO2 properties is gradually lowering the
overall discount to NYMEX as this production is light sweet oil
which receives near NYMEX pricing. However, the Company would expect
that its oil price discount to NYMEX would increase in the short-term
to a level more in line with the Company's historical averages as
these oil indices are not likely to remain at their historical highs
relative to NYMEX.
Between the respective second quarters, lease operating expenses
increased 8% on a BOE basis, primarily due to more than usual maintenance
and repair expenses on offshore platforms. Production taxes and
marketing expenses also increased slightly on a BOE basis as the
savings due to lower commodity prices were more than offset by higher
transportation expenses, primarily from the Matrix offshore properties.
General and administrative expenses increased 13% on a per BOE basis
between the respective quarters, as a result of higher personnel
costs and a lower percentage of overhead allocated to operations
as a result of the lower capital budget and less drilling activity.
Net cash interest expense increased 6% on a per BOE basis in 2002
as the increase in debt levels, which primarily resulted from the
Matrix acquisition, was not quite offset by the higher production
levels. Non-cash depreciation and depletion increased 45% on a BOE
basis as a result of the acquisitions made during 2001, primarily
the Matrix acquisition, at a higher than company-average cost per
BOE.
2002 Outlook
Denbury's 2002 development and exploration budget is currently
set at $115 million, (including approximately $6 million of 2001
projects carried over to 2002), of which approximately $50 million
has been spent year-to-date. Any acquisitions made by the Company
will increase these capital budget amounts. Pending the final determination
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, the Company expects to close on the
Gulf Coast assets of COHO Energy, Inc. in late August. This acquisition
is expected to add approximately 14.4 million barrels of oil reserves
at a cost of approximately $50 million. In addition, the COHO acquisition
includes Brookhaven field, a potential tertiary recovery operation
located near the Company's CO2 pipeline. The Company also expects
to close on the McComb Field acquisition during August, another
potential tertiary recovery operation located near the Company's
CO2 pipeline, at a cost of approximately $2.5 million. These two
acquisitions, coupled with the completion of the Company's leasing
program on three additional fields in the area, should provide the
Company with $30 to $50 million of projects per year for the next
several years and steady production and reserve growth from this
area. The balance of the Company's cash flow can be deployed in
its other core areas.
Denbury's current total debt is approximately $336 million, with
$84 million undrawn on its bank borrowing base of $220 million.
In conjunction with the closing of the COHO acquisition, the Company
expects that its debt will increase by approximately $50 million
from its current level. The Company anticipates that its overall
debt level will gradually decrease during the fourth quarter of
2002 as it expects to have excess cash flow from operations, assuming
that commodity prices do not decrease, and it may also generate
additional funds from the sale of minor properties or a portion
of properties included in the COHO acquisition.
Due to the results from the first two quarters, the Company is
slightly increasing its targeted 2002 production levels to 35,500
BOE/d. Based on this anticipated forecasted average for the year,
the Company's organic production growth would average approximately
14% above average 2001 levels. The COHO acquisition is expected
to add approximately 4,000 Bbls/d of additional production for the
last quarter of 2002, assuming that the Company does not sell a
portion of this acquisition.
Gareth Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Commodity prices
have rebounded significantly in the second quarter from the averages
during the prior two quarters. Based on 2002's current price futures,
we expect to generate $35 million to $50 million of excess cash
flow above our current $115 million budget. Production from our
CO2 program is ahead of schedule. We are in the process of attempting
to increase our CO2 production through the addition of compression
and the drilling of another CO2 well so that we can increase the
amount of our CO2 injections which are needed to continue the production
inclines on our tertiary recovery projects. We are in the process
of developing a long-term plan for these fields which we plan to
discuss in more detail in the future. Our offshore properties that
we acquired from Matrix are also doing well and we have two or three
potentially high impact wells that we are drilling offshore later
this year. We will continue to look for other acquisitions in our
other core areas, but if none materialize, we have a robust drilling
inventory of quality projects in-house. Commodity prices have rebounded
nicely, but should they drop, we have protected ourselves with commodity
hedges through 2003 to help protect our capital program and through
2004 on the pending COHO acquisition. We continue to be enthusiastic
about our future."

Acquires Key Field in
Mississippi
DALLAS, July 12, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR), today
announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire nearly
all of the working interest in the McComb Field in Southwestern
Mississippi.
McComb Field
On July 11, 2002, Denbury signed a purchase and sale agreement to
acquire McComb Field with the intent of expanding its tertiary carbon
dioxide ("CO2") injection operations. The total cash consideration
for the field will be $2.5 million with possible additional consideration
equal to 15% of the sales price per barrel of oil for that portion
of the future sales price that exceeds $22.00 per barrel, with such
additional consideration not to exceed $0.75 per barrel. The Company's
CO2 pipeline crosses through the northwest corner of the McComb
Field and the field is only a few miles from our CO2 facilities
at Olive Field acquired last year.
Initial development is planned for this field late this year or
the first half of 2003, with a total of approximately $40 to $50
million projected to be invested there over the next three years,
with up to $80 million of total development over the field's projected
life. Initial estimates by Denbury indicate that there may be between
15 and 20 million net barrels of oil recoverable from McComb Field
using CO2 injection, based on our success at Little Creek and Mallalieu
Fields. Since a pilot project has not been performed to date at
this field, the Company will not be able to immediately classify
or record any of these probable reserves as proved. The Company
expects to recognize these reserves as development occurs, with
the initial proved reserves expected to be recognized in 2003. The
purchase is expected to be completed during August, subject to normal
and customary closing conditions.
The acquisition of McComb field is part of Denbury's strategy to
expand its CO2 recovery operations throughout the Lower Tuscaloosa
oil fields of Southwest Mississippi. In late June, the Company announced
that it was the high bidder in the COHO Energy Inc. ("COHO") Gulf
Coast property auction, with closing scheduled for late August,
subject to final authorization and approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court. This pending COHO acquisition includes Brookhaven Field,
another Lower Tuscaloosa oil field located near the Company's CO2
pipeline in Southwest Mississippi. Denbury is strategically positioned
to develop the potential tertiary reserves in these fields because
of its ownership of CO2 reserves and pipeline. Denbury operates
the only active CO2 operations in the basin at Little Creek, Lazy
Creek and Mallalieu Fields and has expertise in installing and managing
such an operation. The Company estimates that through tertiary recovery
operations, approximately 60-75 million barrels of additional net
oil reserves, including the potential at McComb and Brookhaven Fields,
may be available to Denbury in fields in this part of the state,
including some fields which Denbury does not currently own.

High Bidder On COHO Mississippi
Properties
DALLAS, June 28, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR), today
announced that it was the high winning bidder for the COHO Energy
Inc. ("COHO") Gulf Coast properties auctioned yesterday in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Dallas, Texas.
Consummation of the purchase, currently scheduled by the Court
for August, is subject to the completion of title review, field
and environmental inspections, completion of an asset purchase agreement
and final authorization and approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Denbury's winning bid was $50.3 million for the Gulf Coast properties
of COHO, which consists of ten fields, eight of which are located
in Mississippi and two in Texas. Seven of the eight Mississippi
fields and one Texas field are operated by COHO. Initial estimates
by the Company indicate the acquisition includes net proven reserves
of approximately 14.4 million barrels of oil with current production
of between 4,000 and 4,500 barrels of oil per day. The purchase
is to have an effective date of June 1, 2002. The Company plans
to initially finance the purchase with a draw on its $84 million
of availability under its bank facility, although it may consider
more permanent financing subsequent to closing and may also consider
selling a portion of the acquired properties. The Mississippi fields
to be purchased include interests in the Brookhaven, Laurel, Martinville,
Soso and Summerland fields, with such interests representing operational
control with working interests in excess of 90%, plus interests
in the smaller Bentonia, Cranfield and Glazier fields.
Included in the acquisition is Brookhaven Field, a possible tertiary
carbon dioxide injection ("CO2") candidate located close to the
Company's 183 mile CO2 pipeline. The acquisition of Brookhaven field
is part of Denbury's strategy to expand its CO2 recovery operations
throughout the Lower Tuscaloosa oil fields of Southwest Mississippi.
These fields have produced over 245 million barrels of light sweet
crude oil to date from the Lower Tuscaloosa sands, the majority
of which are currently marginal producers or abandoned. Denbury
is strategically positioned to develop the potential tertiary reserves
in these fields because of its ownership of CO2 reserves and pipeline.
Denbury operates the only active CO2 operations in the basin at
Little Creek, Lazy Creek and Mallalieu Fields and has expertise
in installing and managing such an operation.

Announces $15 Million
Increase to 2002 Budget
DALLAS, June 11, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR), today
announced that it has acquired oil hedges for 2003 covering 10,000
Bbls/d, or 40% to 60% of its estimated 2003 oil production, with
a floor price of $20.00 and a ceiling price of $30.00 per Bbl, at
a total cost of approximately $1.2 million.
In light of the recently higher commodity prices and current 2002
pricing expectations, the Company has increased its 2002 exploration
and development ("CAPEX") budget by $15 million, from $100 million
(including $5 million carried over from 2001) to $115 million.
2003 Oil Hedges
As part of its regular hedging program, the Company has recently
obtained oil collars from three different financial institutions
for a portion of its anticipated 2003 oil production. These collars
cover 10,000 Bbls/d, with a price floor of $20.00 per Bbl and a
ceiling price of $30.00 per Bbl. Although the Company has not finalized
its production forecast for 2003, it expects that these hedges will
cover between 40% and 60% of its anticipated 2003 oil production.
The Company has previously acquired natural gas hedges for 2003
which cover between 50% and 75% of the Company's anticipated natural
gas production, with a floor price $2.75 per MMBtu and an average
ceiling price of approximately $4.02 per MMBtu.
Increase in Capital Expenditure Program
In light of recently higher commodity prices and associated higher
cash flow currently anticipated in 2002 based upon these prices,
the Company's 2002 CAPEX budget was recently increased from approximately
$100 million to approximately $115 million. These totals include
five million dollars that was expected to be spent in 2001 but was
carried over into 2002. The majority of the $15 million increase
is targeted for drilling three additional wells, two of which are
on the Company's offshore properties, with the balance allocated
to several workovers, recompletions, and additional facilities.
The increase in spending is not expected to significantly impact
the Company's forecasted 2002 production rate as the higher impact
projects are not expected to come on production until 2003.

Announces Agreement to
Acquire the General Partner of Genesis Energy, L.P.
DALLAS, May 6, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) ("Denbury"
or the "Company") today announced the signing of an agreement to
acquire Genesis Energy, L.L.C., the general partner of Genesis Energy,
L.P. (AMEX:GEL) for total consideration, including expenses and
commissions, of approximately $2.0 million. The general partner
interest to be acquired owns 2% of the limited partnership. The
transaction is expected to close on May 15, 2002.
Overview of Genesis
Genesis is a publicly traded master limited partnership engaged
in two primary lines of business: crude oil gathering and marketing
and pipeline transportation. Currently, Genesis is purchasing approximately
67,000 barrels per day (Bbls/d) of crude. They also utilize their
trucking fleet of 75 leased tractor-trailers to transport crude
purchased at the wellhead to pipeline injection points, terminals
or refineries. Their operations are concentrated in Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas.
Genesis also owns and operates three common carrier crude oil
pipeline systems. They include the 703 mile Texas system, the 114
mile Jay System extending between Florida and Alabama and the 261
mile Mississippi system extending between Mississippi and Louisiana.
Complementing the pipelines is 1.5 million barrels of crude oil
storage capacity.
Strategic Fit and Joint Opportunities
Genesis owns and operates a 261 mile crude oil pipeline system
in Mississippi adjacent to several of Denbury's existing and prospective
oil fields. Denbury is the largest oil and natural gas operator
in the state of Mississippi. There may be mutual benefits to Denbury
and Genesis due to this common production and transportation area.
Because of the new relationship, Genesis may obtain certain commitments
for increased crude oil volumes, while Denbury may obtain the certainty
of transportation for its oil production at competitive market rates.
With Denbury's anticipated expansion in the area related to its
continued acquisition and development of old oil fields using carbon
dioxide (CO2), there may be future additional benefits for both
entities. If development continues as planned, Denbury would expect
to add additional crude oil gathering and CO2 supply infrastructure
to these fields as it commences its tertiary recovery operations.
Genesis may be able to provide or acquire this infrastructure and
provide support to Denbury's development of these fields. Furthermore,
with Denbury's anticipated production increases from these fields,
over time it will require more and more transportation of its crude
oil.
Gareth Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, said: "With the uncertainty
surrounding midstream assets since the Enron collapse, Denbury felt
it was necessary to ensure the long term survival of an important
segment of its transportation infrastructure. We feel that we have
improved our economics in this key operating area, with greater
control over the transportation and price of, and potentially greater
value for, our Mississippi production. We expect there will be significant
benefits to both parties from this transaction and we look forward
to working with our new business partner. Even though we have an
agreement to acquire the general partner of Genesis, we expect Genesis
to continue to operate as a separate entity with its own management
and personnel. "
Conference Call
Genesis is planning to host a conference call regarding their
first quarter earnings on May 14, 2002 at 11:00 A.M. CDT. Members
of Denbury's management, who are among those from Denbury that are
expected to join the board of directors of the general partner,
will also be available on that call to discuss this transaction.
The call will be broadcast live over the Internet at Genesis's web
site at www.genesiscrudeoil.com. The public is invited to join.

To Purchase General Partner
of Genesis Energy, L.P.
HOUSTON, May 6, 2002--Genesis Energy, L.P. (AMEX:GEL) announced
today that Salomon Smith Barney (Salomon) and Denbury Resources
Inc. (Denbury) (NYSE:DNR) have executed an agreement to sell Genesis
Energy, L.L.C. (Genesis), the general partner of Genesis Energy,
L.P. (the Partnership), to Denbury on May 15, 2002.
In anticipation of this transaction, on May 3, 2002, Citicorp
North America Inc. and Genesis amended their senior subordinated
credit agreement (Facility). The size of the Facility was reduced
to $80 million, at the request of Genesis, and various covenants
and restrictions were amended to reduce the cost of the Facility
and to increase operating flexibility for Genesis. The existing
provision restricting the ability of Genesis to make distributions
unless the borrowing base exceeds utilization of the Facility by
$20 million was not changed.
Mark Gorman, president and chief executive officer of Genesis,
said, "This transaction will complete the second phase of Genesis'
three part strategy to restructure the Partnership, find a strategic
partner to grow the business and increase distributions for our
unitholders. We now will have a strategic partner with whom we can
execute an acquisition program.
"Denbury has MLP-qualified assets that could be made available
for acquisition by Genesis. Further, Genesis has assets located
in Mississippi that are of strategic importance to Denbury. We look
forward to working with Denbury to continue our restructuring strategy."
Gareth Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Denbury,
said, "We are very pleased to be in a position to acquire ownership
of the general partner of Genesis. In addition to our existing MLP-qualified
assets, our technological focus in the development of oil and gas
reserves should create future acquisition opportunities for Genesis.
We feel that this transaction will significantly benefit both Denbury's
shareholders and the Partnership's public unitholders."

Reports First Quarter
2002 Results
DALLAS, May 2, 2002--Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE:DNR) ("Denbury"
or the "Company") today announced its first quarter 2002 financial
and operating results. The Company posted a 33% increase in production
as compared to the first quarter of 2001, resulting in its best
ever quarterly-average daily production of 35,361 barrels of oil
equivalent per day (BOE/d). The Company posted earnings for the
quarter of $4.5 million, or $0.09 per common share, despite a 51%
drop in its weighted average net revenue per BOE between the two
respective quarters. This compares to earnings for the comparative
prior year quarter of $26.0 million, or $0.56 per common share.
Cash flow from operations for the quarter (excluding the changes
in other assets and liabilities) was $28.5 million, or $0.54 per
common share, as compared to cash flow during the first quarter
of 2001 of $55.0 million, or $1.19 per common share.
Continued Production Increases
Denbury's first quarter 2002 average daily production of 35,361
BOE/d was 33% higher than the 26,635 BOE/d for the comparable period
in 2001, marking the 11th quarterly increase out of the last 12
quarters. By the Company's estimates, the 33% increase is one of
the largest positive changes in production levels for the independent
oil and gas sector. First quarter 2002 production was balanced,
with 50% oil and 50% natural gas.
The increases in daily production are the result of strategic
acquisitions and successful development and exploitation work on
these acquisitions. Approximately 75% of the 8,726 BOE/d production
increase between the respective first quarters came from the acquisition
of Matrix Oil & Gas in July 2001, based on the production rates
at the time of acquisition. Production from the Matrix properties
averaged approximately 7,526 BOE/d (predominately natural gas) during
the first quarter of 2002, the highest quarterly average to date
from these properties, approximately 859 BOE/d (13%) higher than
their production rates at the time of acquisition. The Matrix acquisition
is performing better than expected, with production at or above
projections. Proved reserves associated with the Matrix acquisition
as of December 31, 2001 are up 35% since the acquisition, or up
46% based upon adding back production. In addition to the production
increases on the properties acquired from Matrix, the Company also
had production increases on its other offshore properties that aggregated
approximately 2,076 BOE/d when compared to the first quarter of
2001.
The majority of the remaining production increases relate to positive
response from the Company's Mississippi CO2 properties. Production
at Little Creek Field (including West Little Creek), during the
first quarter of 2002 averaged 3,623 BOE/d, almost triple its 1,350
BOE/d production rate at the time of acquisition in August 1999.
Production from Mallalieu Field, purchased in April 2001, began
to respond to the injection of CO2 which commenced in November of
2001, increasing from approximately 75 Bbls/d at the time of acquisition
to a first quarter average of 245 Bbls/d. The response in this field
is ahead of expectations and this field is continuing to respond
subsequent to quarter end, producing an estimated 625 net Bbls/d
during the month of April 2002. The production increases from the
Company's offshore properties and its CO2 properties were partially
offset by general production declines in its other two core areas,
Eastern Mississippi and onshore Louisiana.
First Quarter 2002 Financial Results
Even though the Company's weighted average per BOE commodity price
decreased more than 50% in the first quarter of 2002 as compared
to the first quarter of 2001, Denbury posted a first quarter 2002
profit of $4.5 million, or $0.09 per common share, as a result of
the higher production levels. Cash flow from operations (excluding
the changes in other assets and liabilities) for the first quarter
of 2002 was $28.5 million, or $0.54 per common share. This compares
to net income of $26.0 million, or $0.56 per common share, and cash
flow of $55.0 million, or $1.19 per common share, for the comparable
period in 2001. The Company's realized natural gas prices (excluding
hedges) for the first quarter of 2002 averaged $2.43 per thousand
cubic feet (Mcf), a 68% decrease from the average of $7.67 per Mcf
during the first quarter of 2001, and its realized oil prices (excluding
hedges) for the first quarter of 2002 averaged $17.43 per Bbl, a
28% decrease from the $24.18 per Bbl average in the first quarter
of 2001. The Company collected $2.6 million on its commodity hedges
during the first quarter of 2002, increasing its average realized
natural gas price to $2.65 per Mcf and its average realized oil
price to $17.72 per Bbl. There were not any cash receipts or payments
on the Company's commodity hedges during the first quarter of 2001
because of high prices.
Between the respective first quarters, the Company lowered every
one of its cash expenses on a per BOE basis. Lease operating expenses
decreased 7% on a BOE basis between the respective quarters of 2001
and 2002, primarily due to savings resulting from (i) the Company's
purchase of CO2 producing wells, facilities and reserves in February
2001, which lowered the Company's cost per Mcf from $0.25 to approximately
$0.10, and (ii) the Company's purchase of Matrix Oil & Gas in July
2001, which increased the Company's natural gas production so that
its ratio of oil to natural gas production became approximately
50/50, with natural gas having a lower overall operating cost per
BOE.
General and administrative expenses decreased 9% on a per BOE
basis between the respective quarters, as production growth outpaced
the overall increase in costs and the Company was able to allocate
more costs to operations as a result of an increase in the number
of operated wells, primarily from the Matrix acquisition. Net cash
interest expense decreased 4% on a per BOE basis in 2002 as the
increase in debt levels, which primarily resulted from the Matrix
acquisition, was more than offset by the higher production levels.
Non-cash depreciation and depletion increased 40% on a BOE basis
as a result of the acquisitions made during 2001 at a higher than
company-average cost per BOE.
2002 Outlook
Denbury's 2002 development and exploration budget is currently
set at $95 million, plus approximately $6 million of uncompleted
2001 projects. Any acquisitions made by the Company will increase
these capital budget amounts. Denbury's current total debt is approximately
$346 million, with $74 million undrawn on its recently reaffirmed
bank borrowing base of $220 million. The Company anticipates that
its overall debt level will not change substantially during 2002
as it plans to fund its development and exploration program with
cash flow from operations and does not expect to borrow any significant
amount unless it makes an acquisition.
At this time, the Company is leaving its targeted 2002 production
levels unchanged at 35,250 BOE/d, even though it appears that production
is responding faster than anticipated from the Company's CO2 properties.
Based on this anticipated forecasted average for the year, the Company's
organic production growth would average approximately 13% above
average 2001 levels.
Gareth Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Commodity prices
have rebounded significantly in the second quarter from the averages
during the prior two quarters. Based on 2002's current price futures,
we expect to generate $50 million to $60 million of excess cash
flow above our current $95 million budget. While we may consider
a modest increase to our capital expenditure budget of $10 million
to $20 million, any remaining excess cash flow will be used to repay
debt and/or fund, or partially fund, any potential acquisitions.
We will continue to pursue acquisitions that are near our CO2 pipeline
in Western Mississippi and Northeastern Louisiana, with plans to
ultimately flood them with CO2 as we have at Little Creek and Mallalieu
Fields. These acquisitions are typically inexpensive. In addition,
we will continue to look for other acquisitions in our other core
areas. We have a robust drilling inventory of quality projects in-house
and expect 2002 to be a solid year, even though our production growth
rate may slow relative to previous years as a significant portion
of our focus will be on further development of our carbon dioxide
tertiary floods. Should prices drop later in the year, we have protected
ourselves by covering approximately 60% of our anticipated 2002
oil production with a price floor of $21.00 and covered approximately
85% of our anticipated 2002 natural gas production with a price
floor of $2.50 for 2002. These hedges are with five different financial
institutions."
