          DNR is a publicly traded oil and natural gas company. DNR is the sole stockholder of Encore Holdings and Encore Holdings is the sole member of LP Holdings and is the sole stockholder of each of EAP Operating and EAP Properties. EAP Operating and EAP Properties are the sole general partner and sole limited partner, respectively, of Encore Operating. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.
          Encore Energy Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GP LLC”), is the general partner of the Issuer.
(b) The business address of the Reporting Persons, other than DNR, is 777 Main Street, Suite 1400, Fort Worth, Texas, 76102. The business address of DNR is 5100 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 1200, Plano, TX 75024.
(c) The principal business of DNR is to engage in the acquisition, development, operation, and exploration of oil and natural gas properties. Encore Holdings’ principal business is to engage in any business permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware. LP Holdings’ principal business is to hold a limited partner interest in the Issuer. EAP Operating and EAP Properties’ principal businesses are to hold a general partner interest and a limited partner interest, respectively, in Encore Operating. Encore Operating’s principal business is to hold oil and natural gas and related assets of the Issuer and a limited partner interest in the Issuer.
(d) Negative with respect to the Reporting Persons.
(e) Negative with respect to the Reporting Persons.
(f) Not applicable.
          In accordance with the provisions of General Instruction C to Schedule 13D, information concerning the executive officers, directors, and each person controlling the Reporting Persons, as applicable (collectively, the “Listed Persons”), required by Item 2 of this Schedule 13D is provided on Schedule 1 and is incorporated by reference herein. To the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, none of the Listed Persons have been, during the last five years, (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration
          On October 31, 2009, Encore Acquisition Company (“Encore”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) with DNR, whereby Encore agreed to merge with and into DNR with DNR surviving the merger. The Merger closed March 9, 2010, following stockholder approval granted at a special meeting of each of the respective company’s stockholders on the same date.

 


 

                     
CUSIP No.
 
29257A 106 
 
          In addition to its then 46.2% limited partner interest in the Issuer, prior to the Merger, Encore also held, indirectly, an approximate 1.1% general partner interest in the Issuer. As a result of the Merger, by operation of law, Denbury obtained control of GP LLC. The Merger included the acquisition of Encore, the assumption of certain debt of Encore and the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in the Issuer described above. However, the Merger Agreement did not specify the consideration allocated to the limited partner or general partner interest in the Issuer. The consideration for the Merger included a combination of shares of Denbury, the sale of $1 billion of 81/4% Senior Subordinated Notes of Denbury due 2020, which closed on February 10, 2010, and a new $1.6 billion senior secured revolving credit facility with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which was completed on March 9, 2010.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
          As stated above in Item 3, the Common Units were acquired by DNR pursuant to the Merger. In connection with the Merger, I. Jon Brumley and Jon S. Brumley, each of which beneficially owns Common Units, resigned from their positions with the Issuer. In connection with their departure, either of the Brumleys may choose to dispose of their Common Units. The Reporting Persons are not currently aware of any plans to do so.
          The following describes plans or proposals that the Reporting Persons may have with respect to the matters set forth in Item 4(a)-(j) of this Schedule 13D:
     (a) None.
     (b) None.
     (c) None.
     (d) Upon consummation of the Merger, GP LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DNR replaced all of its managers with affiliates of DNR. GP Holdings has no current plans to fill the vacancies on GP LLC’s board of directors that resulted from the departure of the Brumleys. The directors of GP LLC are not elected by the Issuer’s unitholders and will not be subject to re-election on a regular basis in the future. The Issuer’s unitholders will also not be entitled to elect the directors of GP LLC or directly or indirectly participate in the Issuer’s management or operation. As indirect owner of GP LLC, DNR will have the ability to cause GP Holdings to elect all the members of the board of directors of GP LLC.
     (e) DNR, as indirect owner of GP LLC, may cause the Issuer to change its dividend policy or its capitalization, through the issuance of debt or equity securities, from time to time in the future.
     (f) None.
     (g) None.
     (h) None.
     (i) None.
     (j) Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, any other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (i) of Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may change their plans or proposals in the future. In determining from time to time whether to sell the Common Units reported as beneficially owned in this

Schedule 13D (and in what amounts) or to retain such securities, the Reporting Persons will take into consideration such factors as they deem relevant, including the business and prospects of the Issuer, anticipated future developments concerning the Issuer, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, general economic conditions, regulatory matters, and other opportunities available to the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (which may be with the Issuer or with third parties), or otherwise, to dispose of all or a portion of their holdings of securities of the Issuer or to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.
          Depending on the factors described in the preceding paragraph, and other factors that may arise in the future, the Listed Persons may be involved in such matters and, depending on the facts and circumstances at such time, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters. In addition, the Listed Persons may entertain discussions with, and proposals to, the Issuer, to other unitholders of the Issuer or to third parties.
          The Issuer’s Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) is hereby incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on September 21, 2007, which is incorporated in its entirety in this Item 4.
