Denbury Resources Inc. is a petroleum and natural gas exploration and production company headquartered in Plano, Texas.

Current operations

The company's focus is on a method of oil extraction called enhanced oil recovery (tertiary recovery), which utilizes carbon dioxide to extract oil from fields that have been previously exploited.[1]

The company's operations are focused in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions.[1]

As of December 31, 2015 Denbury had 289 million barrels of oil equivalent (1.77×109 GJ) of estimated proved reserves, of which 97.5% was petroleum and 2.5% was natural gas.[1]

The company also has an estimated 1.3 trillion cubic feet of probable carbon dioxide reserves at Jackson Dome.[1]

The company's largest producing property is the Cedar Creek Anticline in Montana and North Dakota, which accounted for 25% of daily production in 2015.[1]

History

The company began its enhanced oil recovery operations in August 1999, with the acquisition of the Little Creek Field.[1]

The company began trading on New York Stock Exchange in May 1997.[1]

In 2001, the company acquired the Jackson Dome carbon dioxide reserves and the NEJD Pipeline in Mississippi, providing a source of carbon dioxide and the means to transport it.[2]
