This corporate presentation from Denbury Resources outlines their business model of using carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to extract oil from mature oil fields. Denbury has over 1 billion barrels of potential oil reserves recoverable through CO2 EOR across their two key regions. Their strategy relies on strategic CO2 supply from pipelines over 1,100 miles long and a large inventory of oil fields. They expect a decade of low teens annual production growth through repeating their successful CO2 EOR process across multiple fields.

3. About Forward Looking Statements
The data contained in this presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such statements may relate to, among other things, forecasted capital expenditures, drilling activity, completion of
acquisitions or reserves or future production attributable to them, development activities, timing of CO2 injections and initial production
response in tertiary flooding projects, estimated costs, production rates and volumes or forecasts thereof, hydrocarbon reserve quantities
and values, CO2 reserves, helium reserves, potential reserves from tertiary operations, future hydrocarbon prices or assumptions,
liquidity, cash flows, availability of capital, borrowing capacity, finding costs, rates of return, overall economics, net asset values, estimates
of potential or recoverable reserves and anticipated production growth rates in our CO2 models, or estimated production in 2013 and
future production and expenditure estimates, and availability and cost of equipment and services. These forward-looking statements are
generally accompanied by words such as “estimated”, “preliminary”, “projected”, “potential”, “anticipated”, “forecasted” or other words that
convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These statements are based on management’s current plans and assumptions and
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties as further outlined in our most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
Therefore, the actual results may differ materially from the expectations, estimates or assumptions expressed in or implied by any
forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – Current SEC rules regarding oil and gas reserve information allow oil and gas companies to disclose
in filings with the SEC not only proved reserves, but also probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions of such terms.
We disclose only proved reserves in our filings with the SEC. Denbury’s proved reserves as of December 31, 2012 were estimated by
DeGolyer & MacNaughton, an independent petroleum engineering firm. In this presentation, we make reference to probable and possible
reserves, some of which have been prepared by our independent engineers and some of which have been prepared by Denbury’s internal
staff of engineers. In this presentation, we also refer to estimates of original oil in place, resource “potential” or other descriptions of
volumes potentially recoverable, which in addition to reserves generally classifiable as probable and possible (2P and 3P reserves),
include estimates of reserves that do not rise to the standards for possible reserves, and which SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from
including in filings with the SEC. These estimates, as well as the estimates of probable and possible reserves, are by their nature more
speculative than estimates of proved reserves and are subject to greater uncertainties, and accordingly the likelihood of recovering those
reserves is subject to substantially greater risk.

4. A Different Kind of Oil Company
Proven • CO2 EOR is one of the most efficient tertiary oil recovery methods
Process • 29% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in our EOR production since 1999
• We have produced over 70 million barrels (net) of oil from CO2 EOR to date
Unique • We acquire mature oil fields and recover oil using carbon dioxide (CO2)
Strategy • Competitive advantage: strategic CO2 supply, over 1,100 miles of CO2
pipelines and a large inventory of mature oil fields
Repeatable • We anticipate a decade of low teens annual EOR production growth
Growth • Over 1 billion barrels of potential oil reserves
• We store CO2 captured from industrial facilities, resulting in net carbon
reduction
• By developing existing oil fields, we are disturbing fewer new habitats
Value • Highest operating margins and capital efficiency in peer group
• Within the next 5 years we anticipate a growing wedge of free cash flow

December 2012
● Denbury will own, operate, or
control ~1,650 miles of CO2
pipelines once currently planned
construction is complete.

demonstrated the ability to
recover significant amounts of

31. Will CO2 recover additional oil?
At Microscopic Level
Depends on how well CO2
mixes with oil
% Oil Recovery
Composition of oil, pressure

32. Contacting oil with CO2 drives production rates

oil recovery - volume of rock
The more CO2 contacted by CO2
injected, the faster
the oil comes out
The greater the volume of reservoir contacted by CO2, the greater the oil recovery
(larger the volumetric sweep efficiency)
Historical waterflood performance is a predictor of sweep efficiency

36. Why is CO2 EOR our core focus?
● High Confidence of Oil Target
Over 90 million barrels (gross) produced by Denbury to date
Net upward adjustments to reserves-to-date
● CO2 Flooding Recovers Oil (CO2 ♥’s Crude Oil)
First commercial CO2 EOR flood started production in 1972
Over 1.5 billion barrels produced to date in the US(1)
Current estimated production in the US is >280 MBbls/d(2)
● A Very Repeatable Process with a lot of Running Room
Up to 10 Billion Barrels Recoverable with CO2 EOR in our two operating areas
Over 900 Million Barrels (net) of CO2 EOR potential in our portfolio today

56. Capital Spending Flexibility in Low Oil Price Environment
Unique characteristics of CO2 EOR provides significant capital flexibility
• We attempt to balance development expenditures with free cash flow
• In contrast to shale plays, a reduction in EOR capital spending will not
immediately impact EOR production growth
• Our newer EOR projects have many years of production growth with fairly low
capital expenditures
• It is relatively easy to slow the development pace of EOR projects - most Rocky
Mountain EOR infrastructure development could be delayed if necessary
• No lease expiration issues and limited capital commitments on EOR projects
• We can hold production flat over the next several years using 50% or less of our
2013 forecasted capital expenditures
