DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Operations
     We are a growing independent oil and natural gas company. We are the largest oil and natural gas producer in both Mississippi and Montana, own the largest reserves of CO2 used for tertiary oil recovery east of the Mississippi River, and hold significant operating acreage in the Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast regions. Our goal is to increase the value of acquired properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with our most significant emphasis on our CO2 tertiary recovery operations.
Interim Financial Statements
     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally acceptedAccounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Unless indicated otherwise or the context requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” or “Denbury,” refer to Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries.
     Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year endyear-end and the results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2011, our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010, and our consolidated cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010. Certain prior period items have been reclassified to make the classification consistent with the classification in the most recent quarter.
Noncontrolling Interest
     From March 9, 2010 throughto December 31, 2010, we owned approximately 46% of Encore Energy Partners LP (“ENP”) outstanding common units and 100% of Encore Energy Partners GP LLC (“GP LLC”), which was ENP’s general partner. Considering the presumption of control of GP LLC in accordance with theConsolidationtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”), the results of operations and cash flows of ENP were consolidated with those of Denbury for this period. On December 31, 2010, we sold all of our ownership interests in ENP and, therefore, we havedid not consolidatedconsolidate ENP in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, nor do our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 or our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 include ENP’s results of operations or cash flows. As presented in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2010, “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest” of $3.3$15.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively, represents ENP’s results of operations attributable to third-party ENP limited partner interest owners, other than Denbury, for the portion of that period for which we consolidated ENP.
Net Income Per Common Share
     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to our stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated in the same manner, but also considers the impact of the potential dilution from stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), unvested restricted stock, and unvested performance equity awards. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were no adjustments to net income attributable to our stockholders for purposes of calculating diluted net income per common share. The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares used in the basic and diluted net income per common share calculations for the periods indicated:

2010 Acquisition of Reserves in Rocky Mountain Region at Riley Ridge
     In October 2010, we acquired a 42.5% non-operated working interest in the Riley Ridge Federal Unit (“Riley Ridge”), located in the LaBarge Field of southwestern Wyoming, for $132.3 million after preliminary closing adjustments. Riley Ridge contains natural gas resources, as well as helium and CO2 resources. The purchase includesincluded a working interest in a gas plant, which is currently under construction, which will separate the helium and natural gas from the commingled gas stream. The acquisition also includesincluded approximately 33% of the CO2 mineral rights in an additional 28,000 acres adjoining the Riley Ridge Unit. We own a non-operating interest in those 28,000 acres.

Bank Credit Agreement
     OnIn March 9, 2010, we entered into a $1.6 billion revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and 23 other lenders as party thereto (the “Bank Credit Agreement”) with a maturity date of March 2014.. Availability under the Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base (currently $1.6 billion) which is re-determinedredetermined semi-annually on or prior to May 1 and November 1 and upon requested special redeterminations. We expect our semi-annual redetermination to be finalized in mid-May 2011. We currently do not anticipate any reduction in our borrowing base as a result of this redetermination.
The borrowing base is adjusted at the banks’ discretion and is based in part upon external factors over which we have no control. If the borrowing base were to be less than outstanding borrowings under the Bank Credit Agreement, we would be required to repay the deficit over a period of four months. We incur

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     In May 2011, we entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Amendment reconfirms our current borrowing base of $1.6 billion, extends the maturity of the Bank Credit Agreement from March 2014 to May 2016, reduces the applicable margin on outstanding borrowings, reduces the letter of credit fee and adjusts the maximum permitted ratio of debt to adjusted EBITDA. Under the Amendment, the margin on outstanding Eurodollar loans bears interest at the Eurodollar rate (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin of 1.5% to 2.5% (previously 2.0% to 3.0%) based on the ratio of outstanding borrowings to the borrowing base, and the base rate loans bear interest at the base rate (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) plus the applicable margin of 0.5% to 1.5% (previously 1.0% to 1.5%) based on the ratio of outstanding borrowings to the borrowing base. The Amendment also prescribes a commitment fee ofranging between 0.375% and 0.5% on the unused portion of the credit facility or if less, the borrowing base.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Oil and Natural Gas Derivative Contracts
     We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts, and therefore the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
     From time to time, we enter into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. These contracts have consisted of price floors, collars and fixed price swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt and financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. We currently employ a strategy to hedge a portion of our forecasted production for a period generally ranging from approximately 12 to 18 months in advance, as we believe it is important to protect our future cash flow to provide a level of assurance for our capital spending in those future periods in light of current worldwide economic uncertainties.uncertainties and commodity price volatility.
     We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures, and diversification. All of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Bank Credit Agreement.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
     Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

15


DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
 
  Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil and natural gas derivatives that are based on NYMEX pricing.
 
  Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded natural gas derivatives swaps that are based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (i.e.(e.g., Houston Ship Channel).

     We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and Denbury’s credit quality for liability positions. Denbury usesWe use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
     In March 2011, we entered into three long-term supply contracts to purchase CO2 from future anthropogenic sources in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The three contracts are in addition to the previously disclosed long-term supply contracts Denbury currently has in place in the Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain and Midwest regions. Under the three new contracts, Denbury will purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from the DKRW Advanced Fuels LLC’s Medicine Bow Fuel and Power LLC (“MBFP”) project in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, purchase 70% of the CO2 captured from Mississippi Power Company’s Kemper County Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (“IGCC”) project in Mississippi, and purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from an undisclosed sourceby Air Products LLC (“Air Products”) at a third-party refinery in the Gulf Coast region.Port Arthur, Texas. These new contracts each have an initial term of 15 to 16 years and include options to extend the term. We estimate that these new sources will supply approximately 365 MMcf/d of CO2 for our enhanced oil recovery operations, although under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to purchase up to 460 MMcf/d, a portion of which would be at a reduced price per Mcf. We expect to begin taking delivery of approximately 200 MMCF/d of CO2 from the MBFP project in late 2014 or early 2015, 115 MMcf/d of CO2 from the IGCC project by 2014, and 50 MMcf/d of CO2 from a Gulf Coast region sourceAir Products in late 2012. Our aggregate maximum purchase obligation for CO2 purchased under these three contracts would be approximately $110 million per year (assuming purchases of 460 MMcf/d), plus transportation, assuming a $100 per barrel NYMEX oil price. The purchase price of CO2 will fluctuate based on the changes in the price of oil. These
     As is the case with all of our long-term supply contracts to purchase CO2purchase, the three agreements entered into in March are subject to various contingencies. The IGCC and Air Products plants are currently being constructed and MBFP is in the initial stages of construction but its completion is still contingent on completion or modificationupon securing debt financing and equity commitments and receipt of the respective plants by their operators.all necessary consents and approvals.
     In the third quarter of 2008, we obtained approval from the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change our method of tax accounting for certain assets used in our tertiary oilfield recovery operations. As a result of the approved change in method of tax accounting, beginning with the 2007 tax year we began to deduct, rather than capitalize, such costs for tax purposes, and applied for tax refunds associated with such change for our 2004 and 2006 tax years. Notwithstanding its consent to our change in tax accounting in 2008, the IRS subsequently exercised its prerogative to challenge the tax accounting method we used. In late January 2011, we received a Technical Advice Memorandum (“TAM”) issued by the IRS National Office disapproving our method of accounting and revoking its consent to our change, on a prospective basis only, commencing January 1, 2011. As a result of the prospective nature of the IRS’s determination, there should be no change in our position with respect to the deductibility of these costs for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. However, refund claims of $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 are pending and are subject to review by the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress. We are unable to assess the outcome of any such review, nor how that outcome may affect the other years covered by the TAM.
     We are subject to audits for sales and use taxes and severance taxes in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. We have received a $15.0 million assessment from the Mississippi taxing authority for use tax, penalties and interest covering the 2004-2007 period. We believe this assessment is significantly in excess of any amounts owed and we are appealing the assessment. We do not believe the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse impacteffect on the Company.our financial position or results of operations.
     We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and other regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our net income in the period in which the ruling occurs. We provide accruals for litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Our goal is to increase the value of acquired properties through a combination of exploitation, drilling and proven engineering extraction practices, with the most significant emphasis on our CO2 tertiary recovery operations.
     Operating Highlights.The acquisition of Encore Acquisition Company (the “Encore Merger”) on March 9, 2010, has had a significant impact on nearly every aspect of our business, including oil and natural gas production, revenues and operating expenses. Accordingly, the Encore Merger impacts the comparability of our first quarter 2010 financial results for the first six months of 2010 to those in the first quartersix months of 2011, which is more fully discusseddetailed throughout the following discussion and analysis. Our first quarter 2010 financial results for the first six months of 2010 include the results of operations forof Encore from the date of the acquisition on March 9, 2010 through March 31,June 30, 2010. Additionally, starting in May 2010 and throughout 2010the remainder of that year, we disposed of non-strategic Encore properties and our ownership interests in Encore Energy Partners LP (“ENP”).
     Second Quarter Operating Highlights.We recognized a net lossincome of $14.2$259.2 million, or $0.04$0.65 per basic common share, during the firstsecond quarter of 2011 as compared to net income of $96.9$135.4 million, or $0.33$0.34 per basic common share, during the firstsecond quarter of 2010. This decreaseincrease between the two periods is primarily attributable to (1) non-cash fair value losses for our commodity derivatives of $172.3 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to gains of $100.8 million in 2010, resulting in a $273.1 million negative change between the comparable quarters ($169.3 million after tax), (2) a $101.6 million gain on the sale of Genesis in the first quarter of 2010 ($63.0 million after tax), and (3) a $15.8 million loss in the first quarter of 2011 associated with repurchases of senior subordinated notes ($9.8 million after tax). Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in oil and gas revenues of $175.3 million due to increased volumes attributable to a full quarter of production from the properties retained from the Encore Merger (versus 22 days of production in the first quarter of 2010), increased tertiary production, and higher oil prices. In-line with higher production volumes, our operating expenses increased across the board. Interest expense also increased significantly due to our additional debt incurred in conjunction with the Encore Merger.to:
A $103.1 million ($63.9 million after tax), or 21%, increase in revenue, made up of $214.4 million of additional revenue from higher realized commodity prices in the 2011 second quarter, partially offset by a decrease of $111.3 million of revenue primarily attributable to the absence in the most recent quarter of production from properties sold starting in May 2010;
A $58.6 million increase in the non-cash fair value adjustment in the mark-to-market valuation of our commodities derivatives, principally attributable to oil futures (non-cash income of $183.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $125.2 million of such non-cash income in the second quarter of 2010); and
$22.8 million of transaction and other costs related to the Encore Merger incurred in the 2010 period ($14.1 million after tax), which costs were negligible in the most recent quarter.
     During the firstsecond quarter of 2011, our oil and natural gas production, which was 92% oil, averaged 63,60464,919 BOE/d compared to 53,12584,111 BOE/d produced during the firstsecond quarter of 2010. This 10,479 BOE/d of additionaldrop in production is primarily attributable to (1) incremental average productionthe sale of 14,400 BOE/d from Rocky Mountain region properties acquired in the Encore Merger, and (2) increased tertiary production between the two quarters, offset by (3) a decrease of 6,750 BOE/d due to the sales of non-strategic legacy Encore assets and our interests in ENP after(which together had production of 20,526 BOE/d in last year’s second quarter), which were sold starting in May 2010, partially offset by increases in our quarterly tertiary and Bakken production. Our tertiary oil production averaged 30,771 Bbls/d during the second quarter of 2011, up 8% over the 28,507 Bbls/d during the second quarter a year earlier. Tertiary oil production was essentially flat sequentially (down 0.2%, or 54 Bbls/d) for the second quarter. Our Bakken oil production averaged 7,626 BOE/d during the second quarter of 2011, up 69% over production of 4,500 BOE/d during the second quarter of 2010 and sequentially up 33% from levels in the first quarter of 2010.2011.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 2011, representing a 14% increase over our average tertiary oil production of 27,023 Bbls/d during the first quarter of 2010. However, tertiary oil production was down slightly from the 31,139 Bbls/d produced during the fourth quarter of 2010. SeeFinancial Condition and Results of Operations — CO2 Operationsfor more information.
     Oil prices during the firstsecond quarter of 2011 were considerably higher than prices during the firstsecond quarter of 2010. Our average oil and natural gas price received per BOE, excluding the impact of commodity derivative contracts, was $88.42$100.06 per BOE during the firstsecond quarter of 2011, compared to $69.21$63.76 per BOE during the firstsecond quarter of 2010, a 28%57% increase between the two periods. Including the impact of cash settlements on our commodity derivative contracts, our average oil and natural gas price per BOE was $88.70$98.21 per BOE during the firstsecond quarter of 2011 compared to $56.70$64.13 per BOE during the firstsecond quarter of 2010.

Debt Refinancing.In February 2011, we issued, at par, $400 million of 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021. The net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to repurchase $525 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2013 Notes and 2015 Notes. Also, in February, we commenced cash tender offers to purchase $225 million principal amount of our 2013 Notes and $300 million principal amount of our 2015 Notes. Upon expiration of the tender offers in March 2011, we accepted for purchase $169.6 million in principal of the 2013 Notes at 100.625% of par and $220.9 million in principal of the 2015 Notes at 104.125% of par. We called the remaining 2013 and 2015 Notes, repurchased all of the remaining outstanding 2015 Notes at 103.75% of par on March 21, 2011 and repurchased all of the remaining outstanding 2013 Notes at par on April 1, 2011.2010, a 53% increase. During the firstsecond quarter of 2011, our oil price differentials (our received net oil price compared to NYMEX West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) prices) improved significantly from a negative $4.13 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2010 to a positive $3.72 per Bbl in the second quarter of 2011, primarily due to the favorable price differential for crude oil sold under Louisiana Light Sweet (“LLS”) index pricing. SeeResults of Operations — Operating Results — Oil and Natural Gas Revenuesbelow for more information.
August 2011 Acquisition of Remaining Working Interest in Riley Ridge.On August 1, 2011, we recognizedacquired the remaining 57.5% working interest in the Riley Ridge Federal Unit (“Riley Ridge”) and a $15.8working interest of approximately 33% in the 28,000 acres adjacent to Riley Ridge. As a result of the transaction, we became the operator of both projects. The purchase price was approximately $191 million, losswhich includes a $15 million contingent payment to be paid at the time the property’s gas processing facility is operational and meets specific performance conditions, plus customary closing adjustments, including payments for capital expenditures incurred between the effective date of the purchase (April 1, 2011) and closing. We currently expect the gas processing facility to be operational with the first production of natural gas and helium from Riley Ridge during the fourth quarter of 2011. The CO2will be re-injected into the reservoir until we have completed an additional separation facility and a CO2pipeline to the field, which is expected to be completed in four or five years.
      Combining this acquisition with the interest in Riley Ridge that we acquired in October 2010, we estimate that our total ownership at Riley Ridge currently contains estimated proved reserves of 435 Bcf of natural gas, 15.5 Bcf of helium and 2.4 Tcf of CO2. The adjacent 28,000 acres is estimated to contain additional probable reserves of 250 to 300 Bcf of natural gas, 9.5 to 11.5 Bcf of helium and 2.0 to 2.2 Tcf of CO2, net to our interest. The first production of natural gas and helium from Riley Ridge is expected to begin late in the fourth quarter of 2011, with initial production of CO2 expected in four to five years following construction of both additional facilities to separate the CO2 from the remaining gas stream, and a CO2 pipeline to the field.
Addition of Proved Oil and Natural Gas Reserves.We added 30.9 MMBOE of estimated proved reserves during the first six months. These reserve additions include 28.1 MMBOE of estimated proved reserves at our Bakken properties, and minor revisions to our other properties. These additions do not include estimated proved reserves of approximately 250 Bcf of natural gas (41.7 MMBOE) associated with the debt repurchases, includedRiley Ridge acquisitions completed in our income statement under the caption “Loss on early extinguishment of debt”.August discussed above.
     March 2011 CO2Purchase Contracts.In March 2011, we entered into three long-term supply contracts to purchase CO2 from future anthropogenic sources in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The three contracts are in addition to the previously disclosed long-term supply contracts Denbury currently has in place in the Gulf Coast, Rocky Mountain and Midwest regions. We will purchase 100% of the CO2 captured from the DKRW Advanced Fuels LLC’s Medicine Bow Fuel and Power LLC (“MBFP”) project in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, purchase 70% of the CO2 captured from Mississippi Power Company’s Kemper County Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (“IGCC”) project in Mississippi, and purchase 100% of the CO2captured fromby Air Products LLC (“Air Products”) at a third-party refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. These three contracts each have an undisclosed source ininitial term of 15 to 16 years and include options to extend the Gulf Coast region.term. We estimate that these three sources will supply approximately 365 MMcf/d of CO2 for our enhanced oil recovery operations, although under certain circumstances, we may be obligated to purchase up to 460 MMcf/d, a portion of which would be at a reduced price per Mcf. We expect to begin taking delivery of approximately 200 MMCF/d of CO2 from the MBFP project in late 2014 or early 2015, 115 MMcf/d of CO2 from the IGCC project byin 2014, and 50 MMcf/d of CO2 from a Gulf Coast region sourceAir Products in late 2012. Our aggregate maximum purchase obligation for CO2 purchased under these three contracts would be approximately $110 million per year (assuming purchases of 460 MMcf/d), plus transportation, assuming a $100 per barrel NYMEX oil price. The purchase price of CO2 will fluctuate based on the changes in the price of oil. These
     As is the case with all of our long-term supply contracts to purchase CO2, the three agreements entered into in March are subject to various contingencies. Construction on the IGCC and MBFP plants is in the initial stages and additional construction under the MBFP agreement is contingent upon securing debt financing and equity commitments and receipt of all necessary consents and approvals. The Air Products agreement is also contingent upon third party approvals for the necessary utilities and infrastructure.

February 2011 Debt Refinancing.In February 2011, we issued, at par, $400 million of 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021. The net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to partially fund the repurchase of $525 million in principal amount of our outstanding 2013 Notes and 2015 Notes in cash tender offers to purchase agreements are contingent on completion or modification$225 million principal amount of our 2013 Notes and $300 million principal amount of our 2015 Notes. In the first quarter of 2011, we accepted for purchase $169.6 million in principal of the respective plants by their operators.2013 Notes at 100.625% of par and $220.9 million in principal of the 2015 Notes at 104.125% of par. We redeemed the remaining outstanding 2015 Notes at 103.75% of par during the first quarter of 2011 and all of the remaining outstanding 2013 Notes at par on April 1, 2011. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recognized $0.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of loss associated with the debt repurchases, included in our income statements under the caption “Loss on early extinguishment of debt”.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
     In MarchJune 2011, commensurate with higher oil prices,when we signed the agreement to acquire the remaining interest in Riley Ridge, which closed in August 2011, our Board of Directors approved ana $50 million increase in our 2011 capital spending budget from $1.1 billionfor development of the Riley Ridge plant, increasing our projected 2011 oil and gas capital investments to $1.3$1.35 billion, excluding capitalized interest, tertiary start-up costs, acquisitions and divestitures, and net of equipment leases. Our current 2011 capital budget includes the following:
  $450 million allocated for tertiary oil field expenditures;
 
  $350 million in the Bakken area of North Dakota;
 
  
$250 million to be spent on our CO2 pipelines;
 
  
$150200 million to be spent on CO2sources in the Jackson Dome and Riley Ridge areas; and
 
  $100 million on drilling, completion and other development activities in our other areas.
     This estimate also assumes that we fund approximately $60 million of budgeted equipment purchases with operating leases, which is dependent upon securing acceptable financing. Our net capital expenditures would increase by the amount of any shortfall in operating leases for this purchased equipment, and we anticipate funding any such additional capital expenditures under our Bank Credit Agreement.
Based on oil and natural gas commodity futures prices in early MayAugust 2011 and our current production forecasts, excluding acquisition costs, our 2011 capital budget, including capitalized interest and tertiary start-up costs, is $100$150 million to $200$250 million greater than our anticipated cash flow from operations. These expenditures will be funded with our excess cash on hand or, if necessary, borrowings under our $1.6 billion Bank Credit Agreement under which currently has no outstanding borrowings.

DENBURY RESOURCES INC.
Management’s Discussionat August 4, 2011, we had drawn $125 million, all of which was used as part of the funding of our August 1, 2011 Riley Ridge acquisition discussed above. Another potential source of funds would be proceeds if we should sell the units in Vanguard Natural Resources LLP units acquired in the sale of ENP, which have ranged in value between approximately $80 million and Analysis$100 million during the second quarter of Financial Condition and Results of Operations2011.
     We continually monitor our capital spending and anticipated cash flows and believe that we can adjust our capital spending up or down depending on cash flows; however, any such reduction in capital spending could reduce our anticipated production levels in future years. For 2011, we have contracted for certain capital expenditures, including construction ofimpact the Greencore pipeline, processing facilities at Riley Ridge, and several drilling rigs, and therefore we cannot eliminate alltiming of our future production. There are potential limitations on the amount of capital commitmentsspending we can eliminate without penalties (refer toManagement’s Discussion and Analysis Capital Resources and Liquidity - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements — Commitments and Obligationsin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for further information regarding these commitments). Seeand seeCO2Purchase Contractsabove andOff-Balance Sheet Arrangementsbelow for further information regarding additional commitments entered into during 2011). In addition to the potential flexibility in 2011. We believe that our $1.6capital spending plans, we have approximately $1.4 billion Bank Credit Agreementof unused liquidity under our bank credit line and have significant oil derivative contracts, which provide a $70 floor price floors through mid-2012 and an $80 floor price for the second halfend of 2012 on approximately 80%-85% of our currently anticipated proved oil production,(see Note 4 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), which together should provide us with adequate liquidity and flexibility to meet our near-term capital spending plans if oil prices were to decrease significantly.
     Our capital spending estimate also assumes that we fund approximately $60 million of budgeted equipment purchases with operating leases, the amount of which is dependent upon securing acceptable financing. Through August 1, 2011, we have funded approximately $27 million of these budgeted equipment purchases with operating leases. Our net capital expenditures would increase by the amount of any shortfall in operating leases for this purchased equipment, and we anticipate funding any such additional capital expenditures under our Bank Credit Agreement.

     In AprilMay 2011, we entered into three long-term drilling contracts.an agreement with Elk Petroleum to acquire a 65% working interest in Grieve Field, a planned CO2 enhanced oil recovery project located in Wyoming. Denbury will invest the first $28.5 million of capital and operating costs in Phase 1. In Phase 2 of the project, Denbury may fund, at Elk’s option, Elk’s 35% share of the next $34.3 million of capital and operating costs, with Denbury recouping its Phase 2 expenditures (plus interest) out of Elk’s 35% working interest share of production from the project. In connection with that agreement, we were assigned a CO2 purchase and CO2 transportation contract to purchase CO2 reserves from Exxon Mobil Corporation’s La Barge facility and transport the CO2 to Grieve Field beginning in March of 2012. Our totalannual commitment under thesethe CO2 purchase and transportation contracts is approximately $55.8$16 million with $5.2annually for 2 years and approximately $25 million expected to be paidannually for the remaining 8 years (assuming a $100 per barrel NYMEX oil price).
     Our commitments and obligations consist of those detailed as of December 31, 2010 in 2011, $18.6 million in both 2012 and 2013, and $13.4 million in 2014.

Results of Operations
CO2 Operations
     Our focus on CO2operations is the primary strategy of our business and operations. We believe that there are significant additional oil reserves and production that can be obtained through the use of CO2, and we have outlined certain of this potential in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and other public disclosures. In addition to its long-term effect, our focus on these types of operations impacts certain trends in our current and near-term operating results. Please refer toManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsand the section entitledCO2 Operationscontained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further information regarding these matters.
     During the firstsecond quarter of 2011, our CO2 production at Jackson Dome averaged 1,021992 MMcf/d as compared to an average of 802768 MMcf/d produced during the second quarter of 2010 and 1,021 MMcf/d produced during the first quarter of 2010 and 974 MMcf/d produced during the fourth quarter of 2010.2011. We used 91% of this production, or 926903 MMcf/d, in our tertiary operations during the firstsecond quarter of 2011, and sold the balance to our industrial customers, or to Genesis pursuant to our volumetric production payments. Refer toManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Capital Resources and Liquidity Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Commitments and Obligationsin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further discussion on our CO2 delivery obligations. We recognized a negative proven CO2 reserve revision during the second quarter of approximately 239 Bcf at our Jackson Dome Dri-Dock prospect. This revision was a result of the second well in this formation not being a productive well and analysis of the reprocessed seismic data, which showed incremental faulting in the Dri-Dock reservoir. Even with this downward revision, we still anticipate that we have sufficient CO2reserves to develop our current Gulf Coast enhanced oil recovery program and we are continuing to drill additional wells to increase our productive capability and to test the significant probable and possible reserves at Jackson Dome. At December 31, 2010, our proven CO2 reserves at Jackson Dome were approximately 7.1 Tcf.
     We spent approximately $0.25$0.27 per Mcf in operating expenses to produce our CO2 during the first threesix months of 2011, whichcomprised of $0.25 per Mcf during the first quarter of 2011 and $0.28 per Mcf during the second quarter of 2011. This rate is up significantly from our $0.20$0.22 per Mcf cost during the first three monthssecond quarter of 2010, due primarily to increased CO2 royalty expense as a result of higher oil prices (to which CO2 royalties are tied).

     Oil production from our tertiary operations increased to an average of 30,82530,771 Bbls/d during the firstsecond quarter of 2011, a 14%an 8% increase over our firstsecond quarter of 2010 tertiary production level of 27,02328,507 Bbls/d, primarily due to production growth in response to continued expansion of the tertiary floods in the Tinsley, Heidelberg and Delhi Fields. Offsetting these production gains were declines in our Mallalieu, Soso,more mature Phase 1 and Eucutta Fields, production from which has most likely peaked and will likely continue to decline in the future.Phase 2 fields (excluding Heidelberg).
     The production growth rate at a tertiary flood varies from quarter to quarter as a tertiary field’s production may increase rapidly when wells respond to the CO2, plateau temporarily, and then resume its growth as additional areas of the field are developed. During a tertiary flood life cycle, facility capacity is increased from time to time, which occasionally requires temporary shutdowns during installation, thereby causing temporary declines in production. We also find it difficult to precisely predict when any given well will respond to the injected CO2 as the CO2 seldom travels through the rock consistently due to lack of heterogeneity in the oil bearingoil-bearing formations. We find all these fluctuations to be normal, and generally expect oil production at a tertiary field to increase over time until the entire field is developed, albeit sometimes in inconsistent patterns. These types of fluctuations were most noticeable at Tinsley and Heidelberg Fields in the first quarter of 2011, two of our fields which have exhibited strong production growth in recent periods. We expect our tertiary production to resume itsThese fields resumed their growth later this year, asduring the second quarter of 2011 and these temporary fluctuations have not changed our overall outlook for these fields.

We currently anticipate tertiary production responses at Hastings Field in late 2011, or early 2012, depending on the date of completion ofassuming our CO2 recycle facilities at this field.field are completed on schedule. We anticipate first production at Oyster Bayou Field late in the first quarter of 2012, also dependant on the completion of CO2 recycle facilities. We received the regulatory approvals required to commence construction of the CO2 recycling facilities at Hastings and Oyster Bayou Fields in the fourth quarter of 2010, after extensive unforeseen regulatory delays, and began construction of these facilities in the first quarter of 2011.

     During the firstsecond quarter of 2011, operating costs for our tertiary properties averaged $23.35 per Bbl, down 8% from our first quarter 2011 average of $25.40 per Bbl, compareddue primarily to lower workover expenses between the respective periods, but 9% higher than our firstsecond quarter of 2010 average cost of $22.67$21.37 per Bbl, due primarily to higher utility and CO2costs. CO2 costs increased due to a 37% increase in injection volumes, primarily related to the ramping up of tertiary activity at our Heidelberg, Tinsley and Delhi fields, and a fourth quarter27% increase in the cost of 2010 average of $22.26 per Bbl. The per Bbl increase quarter to quarter was primarily due to increases in utilities, CO2costs (which areis variable and partially tied to oil prices), and workover expenses.. On a per Bbl basis, our cost of CO2 increased by $0.69from $5.05 per Bbl from $4.89during the second quarter of 2010 to $5.62 per Bbl during the second quarter of 2011 but remained relatively consistent with the $5.58 per Bbl level of these costs during the first quarter of 2010 to $5.58 per Bbl during the first quarter of 2011 and increased $0.03 from $5.55 per Bbl during the fourth quarter of 2010 due to slightly lower CO2injection levels at our tertiary producing fields.

Additionally, our production from the Cedar Creek Anticline generally declines in periods of increasing prices due to a net profits interest associated with this production. Total production decreased 23% between the second quarters of 2010 and 2011 due to the sale of non-strategic legacy Encore properties during May 2010 through December 2010, as well as the sale of our interests in ENP in December 2010. On a year-to-date basis, total production decreased 6% between the first six months of 2010 and 2011 due primarily to the sale of the non-strategic Encore assets during 2010.

The production increases in the Bakken are due to a gradual acceleration of our drilling activities in the area, as we have increased our operated drilling rigs from two, at the time of the Encore acquisition in March 2010, to five operated rigs.rigs currently. We anticipate adding a sixth rig late in the third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2011 to test our acreage in the Almond area, and will likely add a seventh rig by the end of 2011. OurDuring the first quartersix months of 2011, we drilled and completed 16 operated wells in the Bakken. Our Bakken production for the first six months of 2011 was negatively impacted by severe winter weather and flooding which caused delays in well completions.completions and curtailments in oil production.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     Our production during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 92% oil, as compared to 78% and 80%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. This increase is due to the sales of the non-strategic Encore properties and ENP properties in 2010, which had a higher percentage of natural gas production, and increases in our tertiary and Bakken production, which are primarily oil.
Oil and Natural Gas Revenues.Although our production for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 declined from comparable 2010 levels due to the asset sales discussed above (partially offset during the six-month period by lower production in 2010 prior to the Encore Merger which closed in March 2010), our oil and natural gas revenues increased significantly in the current periods due to higher oil prices.

     During the second quarter of 2011, our oil price differentials improved significantly, primarily due to the favorable price differential for crude oil sold under LLS index pricing. Company-wide oil price differentials in the second quarter of 2011 were $3.72 per Bbl above NYMEX, as compared to an average negative differential of $4.13 per Bbl below NYMEX in the second quarter of 2010 and an average negative differential of $0.59 per Bbl during the first quarter of 2011. Our oil price differential in the second quarter of 2010 reflected production from the non-strategic Encore properties sold in 2010, which typically received lower oil prices than our legacy production. During the latter part of the first quarter, the LLS index price increased significantly more than NYMEX prices, causing the LLS differential to increase significantly, and it remained high throughout the second quarter. For the second quarter of 2011, this LLS differential averaged a positive $15.32 per barrel on a trade-month basis, as compared to a $9.28 positive differential in the first quarter of 2011 and a more typical $3.21 positive differential in

     Our production during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was 92% oil as compared to 83% during the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase is due to the sales of the non-strategic Encore properties and ENP properties in the second half of 2010, which had a higher percentage of natural gas production.
Oil and Natural Gas Revenues.Due to the significant increase in oil prices between the first three months of 2010 and 2011, our oil and natural gas revenues increased sharply during the first quarter of 2011 as compared to revenues in the first quarter of 2010.

     Our oil NYMEX differential improved during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to our differential in the comparable period of 2010, primarily due to the favorable differential for crude oil sold under Light Louisiana Sweet (“LLS”) index prices, which are the sales prices for approximately 40% of our oil production. During the latter part of the first quarter, the LLS index price increased significantly more than increases in the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate crude oil price, trading as high as $20 over NYMEX. For the first quarter of 2011 this LLS-to-NYMEX differential averaged a positive $9.52 per barrel on a trade-month basis, as compared to a $4.07 differential in the fourth quarter of 2010 and a more typical $2.06 in the first quarter of 2010. While this differential is a significant portion of the pricing formula for approximately 40% of our oil production, other factors may prevent us from realizing the full differential. It is uncertain how long this LLS-to-NYMEXLLS differential will remain at this level. Ourlevel, Because our derivative contracts are based on NYMEX prices, they do not impact the differential we receive. We currently sell approximately (a) 40% of our crude oil based on the LLS index price, differential inalthough due to contract provisions we may not realize the first quarterfull differential; (b) approximately 40% based on WTI prices; and (c) approximately 20% based on various other indexes, most of 2010 was $2.08 per Bbl below NYMEX, which reflected onlyalso improved relative to WTI, but to a partial period for the acquired Encore properties, which typically receive lower oil prices than our legacy production.

     Changes in commodity prices and the expiration of contracts cause fluctuations in the estimated fair value of our commodity derivative contracts.

     Production Expenses.Our lease operating expenses increased approximately 32% between2% during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 andcompared to the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of:of the increased CO2 injections as we continued to ramp up tertiary activities at Tinsley, Heidelberg and Delhi fields during 2010 and 2011, the cost of CO2 (which are variable and partially tied to oil prices) and workover expenses on our tertiary operations (see discussion of those expenses underCO2 Operations), offset by the sale of the non-strategic legacy Encore and ENP properties during 2010.
the completion of the Encore Merger on March 9, 2010;
our increasing emphasis on tertiary operations and additional tertiary fields moving into the productive phase (see discussion of those expenses underCO2 Operations);
higher CO2costs, primarily due to increasing oil prices (see discussion of those expenses underCO2 Operations);
increasing personnel and related costs resulting primarily from the Encore Merger; and
increased workover costs primarily in our CO2operations (see discussion of those expenses underCO2 Operations).
     The 15% increase in lease operating expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010 was further impacted by the inclusion in the 2011 period of a full six months of lease operating expense related to properties acquired in the Encore Merger on March 9, 2010.
     Lease operating expense per BOE averaged $22.20$21.99 per BOE and $22.10 per BOE for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, as compared to $20.12$16.69 per BOE and $18.01 per BOE for the same periodperiods in 2010. These increases from the respective prior periods are attributable to the sale of the non-strategic Encore and ENP properties from May 2010 through December 2010, which generally had a lower operating cost per BOE than Denbury’s legacy properties. However, second quarter 2011 lease operating expenses per BOE decreased from $22.20 per BOE in the first quarter of 2011. Our tertiary operating costs, which have historically been higher than our company-wide operating costs, averaged $25.40$23.35 per BOE and $24.37 per BOE during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, compared to $22.67$21.37 per BOE and $22.00 per BOE for the same periodperiods in 2010. SeeCO2 Operationsfor a more detailed discussion.
     Production taxes and marketing expenses generally change in proportion to commodity prices and production volumes, and as such, increased 70% during the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. This compares to an increase in oil and natural gas revenues of 53% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The addition of properties in other operating areas acquired in the Encore Merger also affected these costs. Transportation and plant processing fees increased approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, primarily due to the addition of properties in other operating areas acquired in the Encore Merger.

     Generally, production taxes change in relation to oil and natural gas revenues, and marketing expenses change in relation to production volumes. The 21% increase in oil and natural gas revenues between the second quarters of 2010 and 2011 contributed to severance taxes increasing from $28.7 to $33.4 million, respectively. Likewise, the 34% increase in oil and natural gas revenues between the first six months of 2010 and 2011 contributed to severance taxes increasing from $43.6 million to $60.9 million, respectively. These severance tax increases in both comparative periods were partially offset by lower marketing expenses primarily attributable to lower production volumes in 2011.

Gross cash G&A expenses increased $19.4$2.2 million (40%(4%) and $21.7 million (20%) during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, respectively, as compared to the same periodperiods of 2010,2010. The increase between the comparative second quarters is reflective of higher salary costs which we consider necessary in order to remain competitive in our industry. The year-to-date comparative increase is primarily due toimpacted by increased expense resulting from the Encore Merger which closedas the 2010 period includes the effect of the Encore Merger beginning on the acquisition date, March 9, 2010. The number of employees at March 31,June 30, 2011, compared to March 31,June 30, 2010, decreased slightly, by 6%2%, as manyprimarily due to the departure of Encore transition employees who did not accept permanent positions with Denbury and who completed their pre-defined transition period in early 2011.period. However, compensation and personnel costs were less for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as the compensation and personnel costs for Encore employees were included in our G&A expenses beginning March 9, 2010, the date of the Encore Merger. Priorprior to the Encore Merger, on March 9, 2010, our headcount was 856 employees. The largest increases were related to personnel costs, including salaries, payroll taxes and our 401(k) match. Wage increases also contributed to the increase in G&A, as we consider this necessary in order to remain competitive in our industry.
     Additional expense attributable to the legacy Encore office leases and the new Denbury headquarters lease, together with related moving costs, contributed to the higher cash G&A expense during the first quartersix months of 2011. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense increased $1.4$2.3 million for the second quarter 2011 when compared to levels in the same period of 2010, due primarily to the effect of Encore’s employees being included for a full quarterhigher compensation levels.
     Gross cash G&A expenses decreased $7.6 million, or 11% from levels in 2011 versus only 22 days during the first quarter of 2010.2011, due primarily to lower compensation and employee-related costs and lower professional fees in the current quarter. The first quarter of 2011 included higher payroll tax burdens and   401(k) matching contribution associated with bonus payouts, the true-up of long-term incentive compensation estimates, incremental costs associated with relocating our headquarters and higher professional fees associated with year-end work.
     The increase in gross G&A expense during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, as compared to those costs in the same periodperiods of 2010, was offset in part by an increase in operator overhead recovery charges. Our well operating agreements allow us, when we are the operator, to charge a well with a specified overhead rate during the drilling phase and also to charge a monthly fixed overhead rate for each producing well. As a result of additional operated wells from acquisitions, additional tertiary operations, drilling activity during the past year, and increased compensation expense, the amount we recovered as operator labor and overhead charges increased by 35%8% and 20% during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, as compared to the same periodperiods in 2010. Capitalized exploration and development costs also increased between the periods, primarily due to increased compensation costs.costs subject to capitalization.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     The net effect of these changes resulted in a 34% increase1% decrease (a 12%29% increase on a per BOE basis) in G&A expense between the comparable firstsecond quarters of 2011 and 2010. Lower production in the most recent quarter attributable to the 2010 sale of properties was the primary factor relating to the higher cost per BOE, as any cost savings as a result of the property sales were offset by other expenses, including compensation increases effective at the beginning of 2011 and incremental expense attributable to the legacy Encore office leases and the new Denbury headquarters noted above.

However,assets and our ownership interests in ENP during 2010. Depletion of oil and gas properties increased on a per BOE basis our DD&A expense decreased from quarter-to-quarterduring the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010, primarily due to higher finding and development costs per barrel associated with the incremental production attributable to the properties acquired from Encore, the acquisition of Riley Ridge,Bakken capital program and higher tertiary productionupward revisions in the first quarter of 2011.estimated future development costs.
     We continually evaluate the performance of our tertiary projects, and if performance indicates that we are reasonably certain of recovering additional reserves from these floods, we recognize those incremental reserves in that quarter. Since we adjust our DD&A rate each quarter based on any changes in our estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and costs, our DD&A rate could change significantly in the future.
     Our DD&A expense for our CO2 assets decreased on an absolute basis for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 compared to the priorsame periods in 2010 due to proved CO2 reserve increases at Jackson Dome and Riley Ridge at the end of 2010. On a per BOE basis, DD&A expense for our CO2 assets and other fixed assets decreasedincreased for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 compared to those in the prior yearprior-year quarter due to increaseddecreased oil and natural gas production volumes as a result of the sale of non-strategic Encore Merger, which closedproperties and our interests in March 2010, and as a result of proved CO2 reserve additions noted above.ENP during 2010.
     Under full cost accounting rules, we are required each quarter to perform a ceiling test calculation. We did not have a ceiling test write-down at March 31,June 30, 2011. However, if oil and natural gas prices were to decrease significantly in subsequent periods, we may be required to record write-downs under the full cost pool ceiling test in the future. The possibility and amount of any future write-down is difficult to predict, and will depend upon oil and natural gas prices, the incremental proved reserves that may be added each period, revisions to previous reserve estimates and future capital expenditures, and additional capital spent.
Encore Transaction and Other Costs
     FASCBusiness Combinationstopic requires that all transaction-related costs (advisory, legal, accounting, due diligence, integration, etc.) be expensed as incurred. We recognized transaction and other costs of $2.4$2.0 million and $45.0$4.4 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively, associated with the Encore Merger, including $1.8 million and $1.2$3.6 million, respectively, related to severance costs. Transaction and other costs of $22.8 million and $67.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, included $19.5 million and $20.7 million, respectively, of severance costs, and were significantly higher than 2011 levels. We anticipate that these severance costs will decline in the remainder of 2011 as the integration winds down and fewer former Encore transition employees remain.

     Our income taxes are based on an estimated statutory rate of approximately 38%. Our effective tax rate for the firstsecond quarter of 2011 was slightly higher compared to our statutory rate, primarily due to nondeductible compensation.expenses. Our effective tax rate for the comparativesecond quarter of 2010 was higher than the historical statutory ratelower due to the remeasurement of our deferred tax liabilities as a result of the May 2010 sale of certain legacy Encore Mergerproperties in the first quarter of 2010 thatPermian Basin, Mid-continent area and East Texas Basin (the “Southern Assets”), which resulted in an additional income tax provisionbenefit of approximately $10 million. During$3 million recorded in the threesecond quarter of 2010. The nondeductible expenses in 2011 and the income tax benefit recorded in 2010 resulted in a slight increase in the effective tax rate, to 38.9%, during the six months ended March 31, 2010,June 30, 2011, as compared to 38.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The current income tax expense representedrepresents our state income taxes primarily related toduring the sale of our interest in Genesis.three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
     As of March 31,June 30, 2011, we had an estimated $39.8 million of enhanced oil recovery credits to carry forward related to our tertiary operations, and $34.5 million of alternative minimum tax credits that can be utilized to reduce our current income taxes during 2011 or future years. The enhanced oil recovery credits do not begin to expire until 2024. Since the ability to earn additional enhanced oil recovery credits is based upon the level of oil prices, we would not currently expect to earn additional enhanced oil recovery credits unless oil prices were to significantly deteriorate.
     In the third quarter of 2008, we obtained approval from the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to change our method of tax accounting for certain assets used in our tertiary oilfield recovery operations. As a result of the approved change in method of tax accounting, beginning with the 2007 tax year we began to deduct, rather than capitalize, such costs for tax purposes, and applied for tax refunds associated with such change for our 2004 and 2006 tax years. Notwithstanding its consent to our change in tax accounting in 2008, the IRS subsequently exercised its prerogative to challenge the tax accounting method we used. In late January 2011, we received a Technical Advice Memorandum (“TAM”) issued by the IRS National Office disapproving our method of accounting and revoking its consent to our change, on a prospective basis only, commencing January 1, 2011. Henceforth, beginning with the 2011 tax year, we are returning to capitalizing and depreciating the costs of these assets for tax purposes. As a result of the prospective nature of the IRS’s determination, there should be no change in our position with respect to the deductibility of these costs for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. However, refund claims of $10.6 million for tax years through 2006 are pending and are subject topending review by the Joint Committee on Taxation of the U.S. Congress. We are unable to assess the outcome of any such review, nor how that outcome may affect the other years covered by the TAM.
     The current administration in Washington D.C. is attempting to removePresident’s 2012 budget, as well as certain Congressional legislative initiatives, have proposed repealing many tax incentives for the oil and gas industry. Those items that would have the most significant impact on us would include the loss of the domestic manufacturing deduction, as well as the repeal of the immediate expensing of intangible drilling costs and tertiary injectant costs.costs, and the elimination of the percentage depletion allowance. It is uncertain whether these or notsimilar tax law changes will be enacted, and if so what the effective date of any such changes might be, although the current administration will be successful in changing the laws, but ifproposals would not take effect until 2012. If some or all of these proposals were enacted and included us, they were successful, it would likely increase the amount of cash taxes that we pay. Should cash taxes increase significantly, itpay in future periods, and, accordingly, could impact our forecasted 2011 capital expenditure budget.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Information
     The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements found in thisManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be or may concern, among other things, forecasted capital expenditures, dates of pipeline construction commencement and completion, drilling activity or methods, acquisition plans and proposals and dispositions, development activities, timing of CO2 injections in tertiary flooding projects, cost savings, capital budgets, production rates and volumes or forecasts thereof, hydrocarbon reserve quantities and values, CO2 reserves, potential reserves from tertiary operations, hydrocarbon prices, pricing or cost assumptions based on current and projected oil and natural gas prices, liquidity, cash flows, availability of capital, borrowing capacity, regulatory matters, mark-to-market values, competition, long-term forecasts of production, finding costs, rates of return, estimated costs, or changes in costs, future capital expenditures and overall economics and other variables surrounding our operations and future plans. Such forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “predict,” “anticipate,” “projected,” “should,” “assume,” “believe,” “target,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Such forward-looking information is based upon management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, and assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect current plans, anticipated actions, the timing of such actions and our financial condition and results of operations. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are: fluctuations of the prices received or demand for our oil and natural gas; unexpected difficulties in integrating the operations of Denbury and Encore; effects of our indebtedness; success of our risk management techniques; inaccurate cost estimates; availability of and fluctuations in the prices of goods and services; the uncertainty of drilling results and reserve estimates; operating hazards; disruption of operations and damages from hurricanes or tropical storms; acquisition risks; requirements for capital or its availability; conditions in the financial and credit markets; changes in interest rates; general economic conditions; competition and government regulations; and unexpected delays, as well as the risks and uncertainties inherent in oil and natural gas drilling and production activities or which are otherwise discussed in this quarterly report, including, without limitation, the portions referenced above, and the uncertainties set forth from time to time in our other public reports, filings and public statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Long-Term Debt and Interest Rate Sensitivity
     We finance some of our acquisitions and other expenditures with fixed and variable ratevariable-rate debt. These debt agreements expose us to market risk related to changes in interest rates. None of our existing debt has any triggers or covenants regarding our debt ratings with rating agencies. The fair value of the subordinated debt is based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the carrying and fair values of our debt, along with average interest rates at March 31,June 30, 2011:

Commodity Derivative Contracts and Commodity Price Sensitivity
     From time to time, we enter into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. These contracts have consisted of price floors, collars and fixed price swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt and financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. We currently employ a strategy to hedge a portion of our forecasted production for a period generally ranging from approximately 12 to 18 months in advance (although we will hedge farther in advance if deemed prudent), as we believe it is important to protect our future cash flow for a short period of time in order to give us time to adjust to commodity price fluctuations, particularly since many of our expenditures have long lead times. See Note 4,Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our commodity derivative contracts.
     All of the mark-to-market valuations used for our oil and natural gas derivatives are provided by external sources. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures, and diversification. All of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our bank credit agreement. We have included an estimate of nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts, which we have measured for nonperformance risk based upon credit default swaps or credit spreads.
     For accounting purposes, we do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts. This means that any changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts will be charged to earnings on a quarterly basis instead of charging the effective portion to other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion to earnings.
     At March 31,June 30, 2011, our commodity derivative contracts were recorded at their fair value, which was a net liability of approximately $216.3$32.5 million (excluding $21.2$15.6 million of deferred premiums that Denbury is obligated to pay for its derivative contracts, which payments are not subject to changes in commodity prices), a significant change fromwhich is less than the $44.0 million fair value liability recorded at December 31, 2010. This change is primarily related to thechanges in oil futures prices as of Marchbetween December 31, 2011 in relation to the commodity derivative contracts for 2011 through 2012.2010 and June 30, 2011.

     Based on NYMEX crude oil and natural gas futures prices as of March 31,June 30, 2011, and assuming both a 10% increase and decrease thereon, we would expect to make or receive payments on our crude oil and natural gas derivative contracts as seen in the following table:
               
 Crude Oil Natural Gas Crude Oil Natural Gas 
 Derivative Derivative Derivative Derivative 
 Contracts Contracts Contracts Contracts 
In thousands (Payment) Receipt (Payment) Receipt 
   
Based on:  
NYMEX futures prices as of March 31, 2011 $(120,867) $30,033 
NYMEX futures prices as of June 30, 2011 $(9,390) $24,508 
10% increase in prices  (308,210) 21,692   (81,222) 18,312 
10% decrease in prices  (11,555) 38,358   (2,952) 30,703 
Equity Price Sensitivity
     Our investment in Vanguard common units is considered an investment in available-for-sale securities, which areis recorded at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income. This investment is thus subject to equity price sensitivity, as fair value is determined by quoted market prices. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in quoted market prices for Vanguard common units would result in a $10.0$8.8 million unrealized gain or loss, respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2011.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2011, to ensure: that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that information that is required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting.Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have determined that, during the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
