Item 2.           Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
                  --------------------------------------------------

     On July 20, 2004, the Company  completed the sale of all of the outstanding
stock of Denbury Offshore,  Inc. ("Offshore"),  a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, to Newfield  Exploration Company for $200 million,  before adjustments,
with the stock of  Offshore  valued as of April 1, 2004.  The  Company  retained
Offshore's  exploratory  well at High  Island A-6,  certain  deep rights at West
Delta 27 and related assets. All of Offshore's other assets were included in the
sale.

     Offshore's operating net revenue, net of any capital expenditures,  between
April 1, 2004 and July 20, 2004, other purchase price adjustments,  and expenses
associated with the sale will be deducted from the acquisition  price,  which is
expected to result in an estimated net adjusted  sales price of between $180 and
$185  million.

     The Company  plans to retire its bank debt with the proceeds from the sale,
reducing total debt to $225 million, consisting entirely of the Company's 7 1/2%
senior  subordinated  notes due  2013.  The  Company's  bank  borrowing  base is
expected to be  adjusted  from $220  million to $175  million as a result of the
sale. The Company  estimates that the sale will generate between $70 million and
$75 million of excess cash after  repayment of its bank debt,  estimated  income
taxes and other fees and expenses of the sale.

     The  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  for the sale of  Offshore,  excluding  the
Schedules, is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.
