EOR Expands EPM’s Reserve Base & Value Denbury’s EOR project may recover substantially more oil due to greater reservoir volume than originally expected (based on 3D seismic), expansion of EOR to additional Tuscaloosa sand reservoirs within Unit and higher recovery factor than 15%, similar to DNR’s other projects

EPM’s 25% reversionary working interest commences after DNR generates ~$200 million in revenues less op exp – which is not affected by actual amount of DNR’s capital expenditures!
