Denbury to Acquire Encore for $4.5B Transaction; Creates One of the Largest Crude Oil Upstream North American Independents and One of the Largest CO2 EOR Platforms

Green Car Congress

The longer lead-time of CO 2 project development in the Rockies is ideally matched with a strong growth profile from low-risk development of unconventional resource plays in the Bakken oil shale in North Dakota and the Haynesville shale in North Louisiana. Encore is an excellent fit with Denbury’s CO 2 EOR program.
