The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO 2 EOR and the emerging CCUS industry, supported by the Company’s CO 2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO 2 pipeline infrastructure. The utilization of captured industrial-sourced CO 2 in EOR significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the oil that Denbury produces, underpinning the Company’s goal to fully offset its Scope 1, 2, and 3 CO 2 emissions within the decade. As further described in Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code below, Denbury Inc. became the successor reporting company of Denbury Resources Inc. (the “Predecessor”) upon the Predecessor’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 18, 2020. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020. On September 18, 2020, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Denbury Resources Inc. to Denbury Inc., and on September 21, 2020, the Successor’s new common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DEN. Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code On July 28, 2020, Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with lenders holding 100% of the revolving loans under our pre-petition revolving bank credit facility and debtholders holding approximately 67.1% of our senior secured second lien notes and approximately 73.1% of our convertible senior notes, which contemplated a restructuring of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On July 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Denbury Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization in a “prepackaged” voluntary bankruptcy (the “Chapter 11 Restructuring”) under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption “ In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al. , Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Plan and approving the Disclosure Statement, and on September 18, 2020 (the “Emergence Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from Chapter 11. On the Emergence Date and pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were fully extinguished, relieving approximately $2.1 billion of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the former holders of that debt, and the Company: • Adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws which reserved for issuance 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Denbury (the “New Common Stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share; • Cancelled all outstanding senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes issued by the Predecessor. In accordance with the Plan, claims against and interests in the Predecessor were treated as follows: ◦ Holders of secured pipeline lease claims received payment in full in cash, the collateral securing such pipeline lease claim, reinstatement, or such other treatment rendering such pipeline lease claim unimpaired (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt – Restructuring of Pipeline Financing Transactions , for discussion of subsequent pipeline transactions); ◦ Holders of senior secured second lien notes claims received their pro rata share of 47,499,999 shares representing 95% of the New Common Stock issued on the Emergence Date, subject to dilution on account of warrants and a management incentive plan; ◦ Holders of convertible senior notes claims received their pro rata share of (a) 2,500,000 shares representing 5% of the New Common Stock issued on the Emergence Date, subject to dilution on account of warrants and a management incentive plan and (b) 100% of the series A warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 5% ownership stake in the reorganized company’s equity interests; ◦ Holders of subordinated notes claims received their pro rata share of 54.55% of the series B warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 3% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the series A warrants; ◦ Holders of existing equity interests received their pro rata share of 45.45% of the series B warrants (see below), reflecting up to a maximum of 2.5% of the reorganized company’s equity interests after giving effect to the exercise of the series A warrants; ◦ Issued 2,631,579 series A warrants at an exercise price of $32.59 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s convertible senior notes and 2,894,740 series B warrants at an exercise price of $35.41 per share to former holders of the Predecessor’s senior subordinated notes and Predecessor’s equity interests; and ◦ Holders of general unsecured claims received payment in full in cash, reimbursement, or such other treatment rendering such general unsecured claim unimpaired. • Entered into a new senior secured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “Successor Bank Credit Agreement”) with total aggregate commitments of $575 million; • Appointed a new board of directors (the “Board”) consisting of four new independent members: Anthony Abate, Caroline Angoorly, Brett Wiggs and James N. “Jim” Chapman, and three continuing members: Dr. Kevin O. Meyers (Chairman of the Board), Lynn A. Peterson and Chris Kendall, Denbury’s President and Chief Executive Officer; and • Adopted a framework for a management incentive plan which reserves for officers, other employees, directors and other service providers a pool of shares of New Common Stock, with initial awards issued on December 4, 2020 (see Note 11, Stock Compensation , for further discussion). During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“FASC”) Topic 852, Reorganizations, in preparing the consolidated financial statements. FASC Topic 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2020 related to the Chapter 11 Restructuring, including the write-off of unamortized long-term debt fees and discounts associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise, and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Restructuring are recorded as “Reorganization items, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Predecessor period. FASC Topic 852 requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the bankruptcy filing date and the date of emergence from bankruptcy, including: • Reclassification of pre-petition liabilities that are unsecured, under-secured or where it cannot be determined that the liabilities are fully secured, to a separate line item in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet titled “Liabilities subject to compromise”; and • Segregation of Reorganization items, net as a separate line in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement a prepackaged joint plan of reorganization, among other factors. As a result of the effectiveness and implementation of the restructuring, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Principles of Reporting and Consolidation The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Denbury and entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Undivided interests in oil and gas joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates underlying these financial statements include (1) the fair value of financial derivative instruments; (2) the estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties, the related present value of estimated future net cash flows therefrom and the ceiling test; (3) future net cash flow estimates used in the impairment assessment of long-lived assets; (4) the estimated quantities of proved and probable CO 2 reserves used to compute depletion of CO 2 properties; (5) estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets; (6) accruals related to oil and natural gas sales volumes and revenues, capital expenditures and lease operating expenses; (7) the estimated costs and timing of future asset retirement obligations; (8) estimates made in the calculation of income taxes; and (9) fair value estimates including estimates of reorganization value, enterprise value, and the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting. While management is not aware of any significant revisions to any of its current year-end estimates, there will likely be future revisions to its estimates resulting from matters such as revisions in estimated oil and natural gas volumes, changes in ownership interests, payouts, joint venture audits, re-allocations by purchasers or pipelines, or other corrections and adjustments common in the oil and natural gas industry, many of which require retroactive application. These types of adjustments cannot be currently estimated and will be recorded in the period in which the adjustment occurs. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported total revenues, expenses, net income, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 518 $ 516 Restricted cash, current 1,000 — Restricted cash included in other assets 40,730 32,529 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 42,248 $ 33,045 Restricted cash, current in the table above represents restricted escrow funds related to a deposit for our Wyoming working interest acquisition (see Note 17, Subsequent Event ) and our December 2020 sale of non-producing surface acreage in the Houston area. Other restricted cash amounts represent escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations, and are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Oil and Natural Gas Properties Capitalized Costs. We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in a single cost center representing our activities, which are undertaken exclusively in the United States. Such costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, costs of drilling both productive and nonproductive wells, capitalized interest on qualifying projects, and general and administrative expenses directly related to exploration and development activities, and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. We assign the purchase price of oil and natural gas properties we acquire to proved and unevaluated properties based on the estimated fair values as defined in the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic. Proceeds received from disposals are credited against accumulated costs except when the sale represents a significant disposal of reserves, in which case a gain or loss would be recognized. A disposal of 25% or more of our proved reserves would be considered significant. Depletion and Depreciation. The costs capitalized, including production equipment and future development costs, are depleted or depreciated using the unit-of-production method, based on proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and natural gas reserves are converted to equivalent units on a basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil. Under full cost accounting, we may exclude certain unevaluated costs from the amortization base pending determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The costs classified as unevaluated are transferred to the full cost amortization base as the properties are developed, tested and evaluated. At least annually, we test these assets for impairment based on an evaluation of management’s expectations of future pricing, evaluation of lease expiration terms, and planned project development activities. As a result of this analysis, we recognized impairments of our unevaluated costs totaling $18.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, whereby these costs were transferred to the full cost amortization base. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices in March and April 2020 due to the oil supply and demand imbalance precipitated by the dramatic fall in demand associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic combined with the concurrent OPEC+ decision to increase oil supply, we reassessed our development plans and transferred $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs to the full cost pool during the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our oil and natural gas properties, including unevaluated properties, being recorded at their fair values at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting , for additional information). Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO 2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO 2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO 2 costs related to CO 2 reserves and CO 2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly. The average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil price used in estimating our proved reserves, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field, was $55.55 at December 31, 2019, $40.08 at September 18, 2020, and $35.84 at December 31, 2020. Primarily as a result of these commodity price declines, the Predecessor recognized full cost pool ceiling test write-downs of $996.7 million during the period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, and an additional full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $1.0 million was recognized during the Successor period from September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020. We did not record any ceiling test write-downs during the Predecessor periods of 2018 or 2019. Joint Interest Operations. Substantially all of our oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others. These financial statements reflect only our proportionate interest in such activities, and any amounts due from other partners are included in trade receivables. Tertiary Injection Costs. Our tertiary operations are conducted in reservoirs that have already produced significant amounts of oil over many years; however, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for recording proved reserves, we cannot recognize proved reserves associated with enhanced recovery techniques, such as CO 2 injection, until we can demonstrate production resulting from the tertiary process or unless the field is analogous to an existing flood. We capitalize, as a development cost, injection costs in fields that are in their development stage, which means we have not yet seen incremental oil production due to the CO 2 injections (i.e., a production response). These capitalized development costs are included in our unevaluated property costs until we are able to recognize proved reserves associated with the development project. After we see a production response to the CO 2 injections (i.e., the production stage), injection costs are expensed as incurred, and any previously deferred unevaluated development costs become subject to depletion. CO 2 Properties We own and produce CO 2 reserves, a non-hydrocarbon resource, that are used in our tertiary oil recovery operations on our own behalf and on behalf of other interest owners in enhanced recovery fields, with a portion sold to third-party industrial users. We record revenue from our sales of CO 2 to third parties when it is produced and sold. Expenses related to the production of CO 2 are allocated between volumes sold to third parties and volumes consumed internally that are directly related to our tertiary production. The expenses related to third-party sales are recorded in “CO 2 operating and discovery expenses,” and the expenses related to internal use are recorded in “Lease operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on the stage of the tertiary flood that is receiving the CO 2 (see Tertiary Injection Costs above for further discussion). Costs incurred to search for CO 2 are expensed as incurred until proved or probable reserves are established. Once proved or probable reserves are established, costs incurred to obtain those reserves are capitalized and classified as “CO 2 properties” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized CO 2 costs are aggregated by geologic formation and depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved and probable reserves. Pipelines CO 2 used in our tertiary floods is transported to our fields through CO 2 pipelines. Costs of CO 2 pipelines under construction are not depreciated until the pipelines are placed into service. Pipelines are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 43 years. Capitalized costs include $0.7 million of CO 2 pipelines as of December 31, 2020, that were either under construction or had not been placed into service and therefore, were not subject to depreciation during 2020. Property and Equipment – Other Other property and equipment, which includes furniture and fixtures, vehicles, and computer equipment and software, is depreciated principally on a straight-line basis over each asset’s estimated useful life. Vehicles and furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over a useful life of one one Maintenance and repair costs that do not extend the useful life of the property or equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible Assets Our intangible assets subject to amortization for the Predecessor period primarily consisted of amounts assigned in purchase accounting to a CO 2 purchase contract with ConocoPhillips to offtake CO 2 from the Lost Cabin gas plant in Wyoming, and for the Successor period represent amounts assigned in fresh start accounting to long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers. We amortize the CO 2 contract intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers $ 97,943 $ — Other intangibles 2,167 37,668 Accumulated amortization (2,748) (15,529) Net book value $ 97,362 $ 22,139 As of December 31, 2020, our estimated amortization expense for our intangible assets subject to amortization over the next five years is as follows: In thousands 2021 $ 9,117 2022 9,117 2023 9,117 2024 9,117 2025 9,117 Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These long-lived assets, which are not subject to our full cost pool ceiling test, are principally comprised of our capitalized CO 2 properties and pipelines, and for the Successor period also included long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices to approximately $20 per Bbl in late March 2020 due to OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a long-lived asset impairment test for our two long-lived asset groups (Gulf Coast region and Rocky Mountain region) as of March 31, 2020 (Predecessor). We perform our long-lived asset impairment test by comparing the net carrying costs of our long-lived asset groups to the respective expected future undiscounted net cash flows that are supported by these long-lived assets which include production of our probable and possible oil and natural gas reserves. The portion of our capitalized CO 2 costs related to CO 2 reserves and CO 2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves is included in the full cost pool ceiling test as a reduction to future net revenues. The remaining net capitalized costs that are not included in the full cost pool ceiling test, and related intangible assets, are subject to long-lived asset impairment testing. These costs totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 (Predecessor). If the undiscounted net cash flows are below the net carrying costs for an asset group, we must record an impairment loss by the amount, if any, that net carrying costs exceed the fair value of the long-lived asset group. The undiscounted net cash flows for our asset groups exceeded the net carrying costs; thus, step two of the impairment test was not required and no impairment was recorded. Significant assumptions impacting expected future undiscounted net cash flows include projections of future oil and natural gas prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, projections of future rates of production, timing and amount of future development and operating costs, projected availability and cost of CO 2 , projected recovery factors of tertiary reserves and risk-adjustment factors applied to the cash flows. We performed a qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2020 and September 18, 2020 (Predecessor periods) and determined there were no material changes to our key cash flow assumptions and no triggering events since the analysis performed as of March 31, 2020; therefore, no impairment test was performed for the second quarter of 2020 or for the period ending September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our long-lived assets being recorded at their fair value at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting , for additional information). We performed a qualitative assessment as of December 31, 2020 (Successor period) and determined there were no material changes to our key cash flow assumptions and no triggering events since the Company’s assets were revalued in fresh start accounting, September 18, 2020; therefore, no impairment test was performed for the fourth quarter of 2020. Asset Retirement Obligations In general, our future asset retirement obligations relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning our oil, natural gas and CO 2 wells, removing equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning land to its original condition. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using our credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations will result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. If the liability for an oil or natural gas well is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, the difference is recorded to the full cost pool. Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows. We utilize unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor and materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Accordingly, asset retirement obligations are considered a Level 3 measurement under the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic. Commodity Derivative Contracts We utilize oil and natural gas derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk associated with our future oil and natural gas production. These derivative contracts have historically consisted of options, in the form of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. Our derivative financial instruments, other than any derivative instruments that are designated under the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. We do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts; accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of change. Concentrations of Credit Risk Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and accrued production receivables, and the derivative instruments discussed above. Our cash equivalents represent high-quality securities placed with various investment-grade institutions. This investment practice limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. Our trade and accrued production receivables are dispersed among various customers and purchasers; therefore, concentrations of credit risk are limited. We evaluate the credit ratings of our purchasers, and if customers are considered a credit risk, letters of credit are the primary security obtained to support lines of credit. We attempt to minimize our credit risk exposure to the counterparties of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification. All of our derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). There are no margin requirements with the counterparties of our derivative contracts. Oil and natural gas sales are made on a day-to-day basis or under short-term contracts at the current area market price. We would not expect the loss of any purchaser to have a material adverse effect upon our operations. For the Successor period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020, three purchasers accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (30%), Marathon Petroleum (13%) and Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (12%), and for the Predecessor period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, three purchasers accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (30%), Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (12%) and Marathon Petroleum (12%). For the year ended December 31, 2019 (Predecessor), three purchasers accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (32%), Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (11%) and Sunoco Inc. (11%). For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), two purchasers accounted for 10% or more of our oil and natural gas revenues: Plains Marketing LP (24%) and Hunt Crude Oil Supply Company (10%). Other Receivables During 2018, we recorded a $16.9 million impairment of a loan related to a proposed plant in the Gulf Coast that would potentially supply CO 2 to Denbury, due to uncertainties of the project achieving financial close. The impairment was included within “Other expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect at year end. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

Fresh Start Accounting | Note 2. Fresh Start Accounting Fresh Start Accounting Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we met the criteria and were required to adopt fresh start accounting in accordance with FASC Topic 852, Reorganizations , which on the Emergence Date resulted in a new entity, the Successor, for financial reporting purposes, with no beginning retained earnings or deficit as of the fresh start reporting date. The criteria requiring fresh start accounting are: (1) the holders of the then-existing common shares of the Predecessor received less than 50 percent of the new common shares of the Successor outstanding upon emergence from bankruptcy and (2) the reorganization value of the Company’s assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan was less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh start accounting requires that new fair values be established for the Company’s assets, liabilities and equity as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy, September 18, 2020, and therefore certain values and operational results of the consolidated financial statements subsequent to September 18, 2020 are not comparable to those in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prior to, and including September 18, 2020. The Emergence Date fair values of the Successor’s assets and liabilities differ materially from their recorded values as reflected on the historical balance sheet of the Predecessor. Reorganization Value The reorganization value derived from the range of enterprise values associated with the Plan was allocated to the Company’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair values. Under FASC Topic 852, reorganization value generally approximates the fair value of the entity before considering liabilities and is intended to approximate the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets immediately after the effects of the restructuring. The value of the reconstituted entity (i.e., Successor) was based on management projections and the valuation models as determined by the Company’s financial advisors in setting an estimated range of enterprise values. As set forth in the Plan and Disclosure Statement approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the valuation analysis resulted in an enterprise value between $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion, with a midpoint of $1.3 billion. For U.S. GAAP purposes, we valued the Successor’s individual assets, liabilities, and equity instruments and determined the value of the enterprise was approximately $1.3 billion as of the Emergence Date, which fell in line with the midpoint of the forecast enterprise value ranges approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Specific valuation approaches and key assumptions used to arrive at reorganization value, and the value of discrete assets and liabilities resulting from the application of fresh start accounting, are described below in greater detail within the valuation process. The following table reconciles the enterprise value to the equity value of the Successor as of the Emergence Date: In thousands Sept. 18, 2020 Enterprise value $ 1,280,856 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 45,585 Less: Total debt (231,022) Equity value $ 1,095,419 The following table reconciles enterprise value to reorganization value of the Successor (i.e., value of the reconstituted entity) and total reorganization value: In thousands Sept. 18, 2020 Enterprise value $ 1,280,856 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 45,585 Plus: Current liabilities excluding current maturities of long-term debt 239,738 Plus: Non-interest-bearing noncurrent liabilities 185,228 Reorganization value of the reconstituted Successor $ 1,751,407 With the assistance of third-party valuation advisors, we determined the enterprise and corresponding equity value of the Successor using various valuation approaches and methods, including: (i) income approach using a calculation of the present value of future cash flows based on our financial projections, (ii) the market approach using selling prices of similar assets and (iii) the cost approach. The enterprise value and corresponding equity value are dependent upon achieving the future financial results set forth in our valuation using an asset-based methodology of estimated proved reserves, undeveloped properties, and other financial information, considerations and projections, applying a combination of the income, cost and market approaches as of the fresh start reporting date of September 18, 2020. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the financial projections, the enterprise value and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. Reorganization Items, Net Reorganization items represent (i) expenses incurred during the Chapter 11 Restructuring subsequent to the Petition Date as a direct result of the Plan, (ii) gains or losses from liabilities settled and (iii) fresh start accounting adjustments and are recorded in “Reorganization items, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Professional service provider charges associated with our restructuring that were incurred before the Petition Date and after the Emergence Date are recorded in “Other expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contractual interest expense of $22.0 million from the Petition Date through the Emergence Date associated with our outstanding senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes was not accrued or recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as interest expense. The following table summarizes the losses (gains) on reorganization items, net: Predecessor Period from In thousands Gain on settlement of liabilities subject to compromise $ (1,024,864) Fresh start accounting adjustments 1,834,423 Professional service provider fees and other expenses 11,267 Success fees for professional service providers 9,700 Loss on rejected contracts and leases 10,989 Valuation adjustments to debt classified as subject to compromise 757 DIP credit agreement fees 3,107 Acceleration of Predecessor stock compensation expense 4,601 Total reorganization items, net $ 849,980 Payments of professional service provider fees and success fees of $12.7 million and fees of $3.1 million related to the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (“DIP Facility”) were included in cash outflows from operating activities and financing activities, respectively, in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020. Valuation Process The fair values of our principal assets, including oil and natural gas properties, CO 2 properties, pipelines, other property and equipment, long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers, favorable and unfavorable vendor contracts, pipeline financing liabilities and right-of-use assets, asset retirement obligations and warrants were estimated as of the Emergence Date. Oil and Natural Gas Properties The Company’s principal assets are its oil and natural gas properties, which are accounted for under the full cost accounting method as described in Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Oil and Natural Gas Properties . The Company determined the fair value of its oil and gas properties based on the discounted cash flows expected to be generated from these assets. The computations were based on market conditions and reserves in place as of the Emergence Date. The fair value analysis was based on the Company’s estimated future production rates of proved and probable reserves as prepared by the Company’s independent petroleum engineers. Discounted cash flow models were prepared using the estimated future revenues and operating costs for all developed wells and undeveloped properties comprising the proved and probable reserves. Future revenues were based upon future production rates and forward strip oil and natural gas prices as of the Emergence Date through 2024 and escalated for inflation thereafter, adjusted for differentials. Operating costs were adjusted for inflation beginning in year 2025. A risk adjustment factor was applied to each reserve category, consistent with the risk of the category. The discounted cash flow models also included adjustments for income tax expenses. Discount factors utilized were derived using a weighted average cost of capital computation, which included an estimated cost of debt and equity for market participants with similar geographies and asset development type and varying corporate income tax rates based on the expected point of sale for each property’s produced assets. Reserve values were also adjusted for any asset retirement obligations as well as for CO 2 indirect costs not directly allocable to oil fields. Based on this analysis, the Company concluded the fair value of its proved and probable reserves was $865.4 million as of the Emergence Date (see footnote 10 to Fresh Start Adjustments discussion below). CO 2 Properties The fair value of CO 2 properties includes the value of CO 2 mineral rights and associated infrastructure and was determined using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. After-tax cash flows were forecast based on expected costs to produce and transport CO 2 as provided by management, and income was imputed using a gross-up of costs based on a five-year average historical EBITDA margin for publicly traded companies that primarily develop or produce natural gas. Cash flows were also adjusted for a market participant profit on CO 2 costs, since Denbury charges oil fields for CO 2 use on a cost basis. Cash flows were then discounted using a rate considering reduced risk associated with CO 2 industrial sales. Pipelines The fair values of our pipelines were determined using a combination of the replacement cost method under the cost approach and the discounted cash flow method under the income approach. The replacement cost method considers historical acquisition costs for the assets adjusted for inflation, as well as factors in any potential obsolescence based on the current condition of the assets and the ability of those assets to generate cash flow. For assets valued using the discounted cash flow method, after-tax cash flows were forecast based on expected costs provided by management, and profits were imputed using a gross-up of costs based on a five-year average historical EBITDA margin for publicly traded companies that primarily transport natural gas. Pipeline depreciable lives represent the remaining estimated useful lives of the pipelines, which will be depreciated on a straight-line basis ranging from 20 to 43 years. Other Property and Equipment The fair value of the non-reserve related property and equipment such as land, buildings, equipment, leasehold improvements and software was determined using the replacement cost method under the cost approach which considers historical acquisition costs for the assets adjusted for inflation, as well as factors in any potential obsolescence based on the current condition of the assets and the ability of those assets to generate cash flow. Long-Term Contracts to Sell CO 2 to Industrial Customers The fair value of long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. MPEEM attributes cash flow to a specific intangible asset based on residual cash flows from a set of assets generating revenues after accounting for appropriate returns on and of other assets contributing to that revenue generation. Cash flows were forecast based on expected changes in pricing, volumes, renewal rates, and costs using volumes and prices through and beyond the initial contract terms. After-tax cash flows were discounted using a rate considering reduced risk of these industrial contracts relative to overall oil and gas production risks. The contracts will be depreciated over a useful life of seven Favorable and Unfavorable Vendor Contracts We recognized both favorable and unfavorable contracts using the incremental value method under the income approach. The incremental value method calculates value on the basis of the pricing differential between historical contracted rates and estimated pricing that the Company would most likely receive if it entered into similar contract conditions (other than the price) as of the Emergence Date. The differential is applied to expected contract volumes, tax-affected and discounted at a discount rate consistent with the risk of the associated cash flows. Asset Retirement Obligations The fair value of the asset retirement obligations was revalued based upon estimated current reclamation costs for our assets with reclamation obligations, an appropriate long-term inflation adjustment, and our revised credit adjusted risk-free rate (“CARFR”). The new CARFR was based on an evaluation of similar industry peers with similar factors such as emergence, new capital structure and current rates for oil and gas companies. Pipeline Financing Liabilities The fair value of the pipeline financing liabilities was measured as the present value of the remaining payments under the restructured pipeline agreements (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt – Restructuring of Pipeline Financing Transactions , for further discussion). Warrants The fair values of the warrants issued upon the Emergence Date were estimated by applying a Black-Scholes-Merton model. The Black-Scholes-Merton model is a pricing model used to estimate the fair value of a European-style call or put option/warrant based on a current stock price, strike price, time to maturity, risk-free rate, annual volatility rate, and annual dividend yield. The model used the following assumptions: implied stock price (total equity divided by total shares outstanding) of the Successor’s shares of common stock of $22.14; exercise price per share of $32.59 and $35.41 for series A and B warrants, respectively; expected volatility of 49.3% and 53.6% for series A and B warrants, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 0.3% and 0.2% for series A and B warrants, respectively, using the United States Treasury Constant Maturity rates; and an expected annual dividend yield of 0%. Expected volatility was estimated using volatilities of similar entities whose share or option prices and assumptions were publicly available. The time to maturity of the warrants was based on the contractual terms of the warrants of five three Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet The following illustrates the effects on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet due to the reorganization and fresh start accounting adjustments.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Note 4. Revenue Recognition We record revenue in accordance with FASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. This principle is achieved through applying a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition: • Identify the contract or contracts with a customer – We derive the majority of our revenues from oil and natural gas sales contracts and CO 2 sales and transportation contracts. The contracts specify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and contain commercial substance as they impact our financial statements. A high percentage of our receivables balance is current, and we have not historically entered into contracts with counterparties that pose a credit risk without requiring adequate economic protection to ensure collection. • Identify the performance obligations in the contract – Each of our revenue contracts specify a volume per day, or production from a lease designated in the contract (a distinct good), to be delivered at the delivery point over the term of the contract (the identified performance obligation). The customer takes delivery and physical possession of the product at the delivery point, which generally is also the point at which title transfers and the customer obtains the risks and rewards of ownership (the identified performance obligation is satisfied). • Determine the transaction price – Typically, our oil and natural gas contracts define the price as a formula price based on the average market price, as specified on set dates each month, for the specific commodity during the month of delivery. Certain of our CO 2 contracts define the price as a fixed contractual price adjusted to an inflation index to reflect market pricing. Given the industry practice to invoice customers the month following the month of delivery and our high probability of collection of payment, no significant financing component is included in our contracts. • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – The majority of our revenue contracts are short-term, with terms of one year or less, to which we have applied the practical expedient permitted under the standard eliminating the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. In limited instances, we have revenue contracts with terms greater than one year; however, the future delivery volumes are wholly unsatisfied as they represent separate performance obligations with variable consideration. We utilized the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. As there is only one performance obligation associated with our contracts, no allocation of the transaction price is necessary. • Recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation – Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO 2 contracts is made within a month following product delivery and for natural gas and NGL contracts is generally made within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to revenues from oil and natural gas sales contracts and CO 2 sales and transportation contracts, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase and sale of crude oil for third parties in the Gulf Coast region. Revenues and expenses from these transactions are presented on a gross basis, as we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and the responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes our revenues by product type: Successor Predecessor Period from Period from Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2019 2018 Oil sales $ 199,769 $ 489,251 $ 1,205,083 $ 1,412,358 Natural gas sales 1,339 2,850 6,937 10,231 CO 2 sales and transportation fees 9,419 21,049 34,142 31,145 Oil marketing revenues 5,376 8,543 14,198 1,921 Total revenues $ 215,903 $ 521,693 $ 1,260,360 $ 1,455,655 |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases | Note 5. Leases We evaluate contracts for leasing arrangements at inception. We lease office space, equipment, and vehicles that have non-cancelable lease terms. Currently, our outstanding leases have remaining terms up to 7 years, with certain land leases having remaining terms up to 49 years. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet. As part of the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the Predecessor elected to terminate some of its operating and finance leases, primarily related to office space. The table below reflects our operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, which primarily consist of our office leases: Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Operating leases Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 20,342 $ 34,099 Operating lease liabilities – current $ 1,350 $ 6,901 Operating lease liabilities – long-term 19,460 41,932 Total operating lease liabilities $ 20,810 $ 48,833 The majority of our leases contain renewal options, typically exercisable at our sole discretion. At emergence, we recorded right-of-use assets and liabilities based on the fair value of lease payments and utilized our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the Emergence Date. The following weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates related to our outstanding operating leases: Successor Predecessor December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Weighted average remaining lease term 6.3 years 5.7 years Weighted average discount rate 5.6 % 6.7 % Lease costs for operating leases or leases with a term of 12 months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset are recognized separately, with the depreciable life reflective of the expected lease term. The Predecessor Company previously subleased part of the office space included in its operating leases for which it received rental payments. Since those office space leases were terminated during the Chapter 11 Restructuring, the underlying sublease agreements were also terminated. The Successor Company subsequently entered into an operating lease for a new corporate office space which commenced in October 2020. The following table summarizes the components of lease costs and sublease income: Successor Predecessor Period from Sept. 19, 2020 through Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended In thousands Income Statement Dec. 31, 2019 Operating lease cost General and administrative expenses $ 872 $ 5,683 $ 8,924 Lease operating expenses 158 214 58 CO 2 operating and discovery expenses 14 37 5 $ 1,044 $ 5,934 $ 8,987 Finance lease cost Amortization of right-of-use assets Depletion, depreciation, and amortization $ 3 $ 9 $ 1,188 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 1 3 40 Total finance lease cost $ 4 $ 12 $ 1,228 Sublease income General and administrative expenses $ 100 $ 2,584 $ 4,127 Our statement of cash flows included the following activity related to our operating and finance leases: Successor Predecessor Period from Sept. 19, 2020 through Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended In thousands Dec. 31, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 341 $ 7,341 $ 10,995 Operating cash flows from interest on finance leases 1 3 40 Financing cash flows from finance leases 78 10 1,275 Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations Operating leases 19,902 1,049 415 Finance leases — 162 — The following table summarizes by year the maturities of our lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020: Operating In thousands Leases 2021 $ 2,496 2022 4,149 2023 4,135 2024 4,111 2025 4,149 Thereafter 6,263 Total minimum lease payments 25,303 Less: Amount representing interest (4,493) Present value of minimum lease liabilities $ 20,810 |

Liabilities assumed relate to minor acquisitions, with liabilities incurred generally relating to wells and facilities. We have escrow accounts that are legally restricted for certain of our asset retirement obligations. The balances of these escrow accounts were $55.2 million and $53.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These balances are primarily invested in U.S. Treasury bonds, recorded at amortized cost, and money market accounts, which investments are included in “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. A portion of these investments are included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (see Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash ).

Our property acquisition costs reflected in the table above relate to fair values assigned during fresh start accounting and are primarily associated with our Cedar Creek Anticline fields and CO 2 tertiary potential at Tinsley, Oyster Bayou and Salt Creek fields. Exploration and development costs shown as unevaluated properties are primarily associated with our tertiary oil field projects that are under development but did not have associated proved reserves at December 31, 2020. Costs are transferred into the amortization base on an ongoing basis as projects are evaluated and proved reserves established or impairment determined. We review the excluded properties for impairment at lea st annually. We currently estimate that evaluation of the majority of these properties and the inclusion of their costs in the amortization base is expected to be completed within five to ten years . Until we are able to determine whether there are any proved reserves attributable to the above costs, we are not able to assess the future impact on the amortization rate of the full cost pool. |

Long-Term Debt | Note 8. Long-Term Debt The table below reflects long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Successor Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement $ 70,000 $ — Predecessor Senior Secured Bank Credit Agreement — — 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 — 614,919 9¼% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 — 455,668 7¾% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 — 531,821 7½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 — 20,641 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 — 245,548 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021 — 51,304 5½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 — 58,426 4⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 — 135,960 Pipeline financings 68,008 167,439 Total debt principal balance 138,008 2,281,726 Debt discount — (101,767) Future interest payable — 164,914 Debt issuance costs — (10,009) Total debt, net of debt issuance costs and discount 138,008 2,334,864 Less: current maturities of long-term debt (68,008) (102,294) Long-term debt and capital lease obligations $ 70,000 $ 2,232,570 The ultimate parent company in our corporate structure, Denbury Inc., is the sole issuer of all our outstanding obligations under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement. Denbury Inc. has no independent assets or operations. Each of the subsidiary guarantors of such obligations is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Denbury Inc, and the guarantees of such obligations are full and unconditional and joint and several. Prior to our emergence from bankruptcy, our debt consisted of the Predecessor’s Bank Credit Agreement, senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, senior subordinated notes, pipeline financings, and capital lease obligations. On the Emergence Date, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all outstanding obligations under the senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were fully extinguished, relieving approximately $2.1 billion of debt by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the holders of that debt. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code , for additional information. Successor Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings on September 18, 2020, we entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Successor Bank Credit Agreement”). The Successor Bank Credit Agreement is a senior secured revolving credit facility with an initial borrowing base and lender commitments of $575 million. Additionally, under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement, letters of credit are available in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million, and short-term swingline loans are available in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25 million, each subject to the available commitments under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement. Availability under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a borrowing base, which is redetermined semiannually on or around May 1 and November 1 of each year, with our next scheduled redetermination around May 1, 2021. The borrowing base is adjusted at the lenders’ discretion and is based, in part, upon external factors over which we have no control. The borrowing base is subject to a reduction by twenty-five percent (25%) of the principal amount of any unsecured or subordinated debt issued or incurred. The borrowing base may also be reduced if we sell borrowing base properties and/or cancel commodity derivative positions with an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the then-effective borrowing base between redeterminations. If our outstanding debt under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement exceeds the then-effective borrowing base, we would be required to repay the excess amount over a period not to exceed six months. The Successor Bank Credit Agreement matures on January 30, 2024. The Successor Bank Credit Agreement prohibits us from paying dividends on our common stock through September 17, 2021. Commencing on September 18, 2021, we may pay dividends on our common stock or make other restricted payments in an amount not to exceed Distributable Free Cash Flow (as defined in the Successor Bank Credit Agreement), but only if (1) no event of default or borrowing base deficiency exists; (2) our total leverage ratio is 2 to 1 or lower; and (3) availability under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement is at least 20%. The Successor Bank Credit Agreement also limits our ability to, among other things, incur and repay other indebtedness; grant liens; engage in certain mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; engage in sales of assets; make acquisitions and investments; make other restricted payments (including redeeming, repurchasing or retiring our common stock); and enter into commodity derivative agreements, in each case subject to customary exceptions. The Successor Bank Credit Agreement is secured by (1) our proved oil and natural gas properties, which are held through our restricted subsidiaries; (2) the pledge of equity interests of such subsidiaries; (3) a pledge of our commodity derivative agreements; (4) a pledge of deposit accounts, securities accounts and commodity accounts of Denbury Inc. and such subsidiaries (as applicable); and (5) a security interest in substantially all other collateral that may be perfected by a Uniform Commercial Code filing, subject to certain exceptions. The Successor Bank Credit Agreement contains certain financial performance covenants including the following: • A Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDAX covenant, with such ratio not to exceed 3.5 times; and • A requirement to maintain a current ratio (i.e., Consolidated Current Assets to Consolidated Current Liabilities) of at least 1.0 times. For purposes of computing the current ratio per the Successor Bank Credit Agreement, Consolidated Current Assets exclude the current portion of derivative assets but include available borrowing capacity under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement, and Consolidated Current Liabilities exclude the current portion of derivative liabilities as well as the current portions of long-term indebtedness outstanding. Loans under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement are subject to varying rates of interest based on either (1) for ABR Loans, a base rate determined under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement (the “ABR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 2% to 3% per annum, or (b) for LIBOR Loans, the LIBOR rate (subject to a 1% floor) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3% to 4% per annum (capitalized terms as defined in the Successor Bank Credit Agreement). The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2020 under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement was 4.0%. The undrawn portion of the aggregate lender commitments under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.5%. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under the Successor Bank Credit Agreement. The above description of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement and defined terms are contained in the Successor Bank Credit Agreement. Restructuring of Pipeline Financing Transactions In May 2008, we closed two transactions with Genesis Energy, L.P. (“Genesis”) involving two of our pipelines. The NEJD pipeline system included a 20-year secured financing lease, and the Free State Pipeline included a long-term transportation service agreement. On August 7, 2020, Genesis, as the beneficiary of the $41.3 million letter of credit issued as financial assurances under the NEJD pipeline lease financing, drew the full amount of such letter of credit in accordance with its terms as a result of the Predecessor’s Chapter 11 Restructuring, which resulted in a corresponding reduction to the principal balance outstanding under such financing. In late October 2020, we restructured our CO 2 pipeline financing arrangements with Genesis, whereby (1) Denbury reacquired the NEJD pipeline system from Genesis in exchange for $70 million to be paid in four equal payments during 2021, representing full settlement of all remaining obligations under the NEJD secured financing lease; and (2) Denbury reacquired the Free State Pipeline from Genesis in exchange for a one-time payment of $22.5 million on October 30, 2020. Predecessor Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility From December 2014 through September 18, 2020, the Company maintained a senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and other lenders party thereto (the “Predecessor Bank Credit Agreement”). All but a minor portion of the Predecessor Bank Credit Agreement was refinanced through the DIP Facility from August 4, 2020 through September 18, 2020, which was in turn refinanced by the Successor Bank Credit Agreement upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring. Extinguishment of Predecessor Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, Convertible Senior Notes, and Senior Subordinated Notes Upon emergence from the Chapter 11 Restructuring on September 18, 2020, the Predecessor’s 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), 9¼% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022, 7¾% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 (the “7¾% Senior Secured Notes”), 7½% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 (the “7½% Senior Secured Notes”), 6⅜% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Convertible Notes”), 6⅜% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2021 (the “Subordinated 2021 Notes”), 5½% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022 (the “Subordinated 2022 Notes”), and 4⅝% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 (the “Subordinated 2023 Notes”) were fully extinguished by issuing equity and/or warrants in the Successor to the holders of that debt. The Predecessor debt discussions that follow are included to provide context on the impact of these transactions on the Predecessor’s financial statements. Second Quarter 2020 Conversion of 2024 Convertible Notes During the second quarter of 2020, holders of $19.9 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Predecessor’s 2024 Convertible Notes converted their notes into shares of the Predecessor’s common stock, at the rates specified in the indenture for the notes, resulting in the issuance of 7.4 million shares of Predecessor common stock upon conversion. The debt principal balance, net of debt discounts, totaling $13.9 million, was reclassified to “Paid-in capital in excess of par” and “Common stock” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Predecessor upon the conversion of the notes into shares of Predecessor common stock. First Quarter 2020 Repurchases of Senior Secured Notes During March 2020, the Predecessor repurchased a total of $30.2 million aggregate principal amount of its 2021 Notes in open-market transactions for a total purchase price of $14.2 million, excluding accrued interest. In connection with these transactions, the Predecessor recognized a $19.0 million gain on debt extinguishment, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and future interest payable written off. 2019 Predecessor Debt Reduction Transactions During the third quarter of 2019, the Predecessor repurchased $11.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding Subordinated 2022 Notes in open market transactions for a total purchase price of $5.3 million, excluding accrued interest. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Predecessor repurchased principally through exchanges an additional $25.3 million in aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding Subordinated 2022 Notes and $75.7 million in aggregate principal amount of its then outstanding Subordinated 2023 Notes for $11.2 million in cash and issuance of 38.3 million shares of the Predecessor’s common stock. In connection with these transactions, the Predecessor recognized a $55.5 million gain on debt extinguishment, net of unamortized debt issuance costs written off, during the year ended December 31, 2019, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. During June 2019, in a series of debt exchanges, the Predecessor extended the maturities of its outstanding long-term debt and reduced the amount of outstanding debt principal. As part of these transactions, holders exchanged a total of $468.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Predecessor’s then outstanding senior subordinated notes for $102.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7¾% Senior Secured Notes, $245.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Convertible Notes and $120.0 million of cash. The exchanged senior subordinated notes consisted of $152.2 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated 2021 Notes, $219.9 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated 2022 Notes and $96.3 million aggregate principal amount of Subordinated 2023 Notes. In addition, holders also exchanged $425.4 million of 7½% Senior Secured Notes for $425.4 million aggregate principal amount of 7¾% Senior Secured Notes. In July 2019, holders exchanged an additional $4.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7½% Senior Secured Notes for $3.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7¾% Senior Secured Notes. As a result, the Predecessor recognized a noncash gain on debt extinguishment, net of transaction costs, totaling $100.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. In accordance with FASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments , the June 2019 exchange of the Predecessor’s existing senior subordinated notes was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. Therefore, the 7¾% Senior Secured Notes and 2024 Convertible Notes were recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value based upon initial trading prices following their issuance, resulting in a discount to their principal amount of $22.6 million and $79.9 million, respectively. Separately, the June 2019 exchange of the Predecessor’s existing senior secured second lien notes was accounted for as a modification of those notes. Therefore, no gain or loss was recognized, and previously deferred debt issuance costs of $6.9 million were treated as a discount to the principal amount of the 7¾% Senior Secured Notes. Debt Issuance Costs In connection with the issuance of our outstanding long-term debt, we have incurred debt issuance costs, which are being amortized to interest expense using the straight line or effective interest method over the term of each related facility or borrowing. Remaining unamortized debt issuance costs were $8.4 million and $14.0 million at December 31, 2020 (Successor) and 2019 (Predecessor), respectively. Issuance costs associated with our Successor Bank Credit Agreement (Successor period) and Predecessor Bank Credit Agreement (Predecessor period) are included in “Other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and issuance costs associated with the Predecessor’s senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes are included as a reduction of “Long-term debt, net of current portion” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Predecessor period. Indebtedness Repayment Schedule At December 31, 2020, our indebtedness is payable over the next five years and thereafter as follows: In thousands 2021 $ 68,008 2022 — 2023 — 2024 70,000 2025 — Thereafter — Total indebtedness $ 138,008 |

At December 31, 2020, we had $0.6 million of alternative minimum tax credits, which under the Tax Cut and Jobs Act passed in 2017 will be fully refundable by 2021, and are recorded as a receivable on the balance sheet, and state NOLs and tax credits totaling $56.0 million (before provision for valuation allowance) related to all our state operations, which continue as carryforwards for the Successor. Our state NOLs expire in various years, starting in 2025. Deferred income taxes reflect the available tax carryforwards and the temporary differences based on tax laws and statutory rates in effect at the December 31, 2020 and 2019 balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2020, we had $75.1 million of net state deferred tax assets associated with operations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota and Alabama, which were fully offset with valuation allowances. The valuation allowances will remain until the realization of future deferred tax benefits are more likely than not to become utilized.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | Note 10. Stockholders’ Equity Registration Rights Agreement On the Emergence Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain former beneficial holders of the second lien notes of the Predecessor who entered into the RSA dated July 28, 2020, and that together with their affiliates received 4% or more of New Common Stock (including shares to which they are entitled upon exercise of series A warrants of the Successor) pursuant to the Plan, or their affiliates. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, security holders have customary demand and piggyback registration rights, subject to the limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. Securityholders have the right to demand the Company to effectuate the distribution of any or all of its Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) by means of an underwritten offering pursuant to an effective registration statement; provided, however, that the expected aggregate offering price is equal to or greater than $25.0 million or includes at least 20% of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in an offering and the Company’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Company will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as blackout periods and, if an underwritten offering is contemplated, limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering that may be imposed by the managing underwriter. 401(k) Plan We offer a 401(k) plan to which employees may contribute earnings subject to IRS limitations. We match 100% of an employee’s contribution, up to 6% of compensation, as defined by the plan, which is vested immediately. Matching contributions to the 401(k) plan totaled $1.1 million for the period September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (Successor) |

Stock Compensation | Note 11. Stock Compensation Below is a description of stock compensation relating to both the Predecessor periods (2018, 2019 and January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020) and the Successor period (September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020). All stock compensation plans and awards in effect during the Predecessor periods were cancelled upon emergence of the Company from its Chapter 11 Restructuring on September 18, 2020. The plans and awards described below which are designated as Successor plans or awards are the only such plans and awards in effect as of December 31, 2020. Each of the plans and awards described below are designated as either Predecessor or Successor, with the exception of the section labeled “ Stock-Based Compensation – Predecessor and Successor ” which pertains to both Predecessor and Successor periods. Stock-based Compensation – Predecessor and Successor Stock-based compensation expense is included in “General and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation associated with our employees involved in exploration and drilling activities is capitalized as part of “Oil and natural gas properties” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our accounting policy is to account for forfeitures as they occur. The following table sets forth stock-based compensation costs for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor Period from Sept. 19, 2020 through Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2019 2018 Stock-based compensation expense included in G&A $ 8,212 $ 4,111 $ 12,470 $ 11,951 Stock-based compensation capitalized 695 1,660 4,018 3,487 Total cost of stock-based compensation arrangements $ 8,907 $ 5,771 $ 16,488 $ 15,438 Income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation arrangements $ 2,053 $ 1,028 $ 3,118 $ 2,988 Management Incentive Plan – Successor In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, the Plan provided for the adoption of a management incentive plan, the Denbury Inc. 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), effective as of the Emergence Date, through an amendment and restatement of the Denbury Resources Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of March 26, 2020. The LTIP reserved 6.2 million shares of Denbury’s common stock for awards to officers, other employees, directors and other service providers. The LTIP provides for, among other things, the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, cash awards, or any combination of the foregoing. On December 2, 2020, Denbury’s board of directors approved and ratified the LTIP, with initial awards covering 2.2 million shares of common stock granted on December 4, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 4.0 million shares were available for future grants under the LTIP, all of which could be issued in the form of restricted stock units or performance stock units. Our incentive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The LTIP will expire September 2030. Restricted Stock Units – Successor In December 2020, non-performance-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards were granted to directors and a limited number of employees under the Successor’s LTIP. Holders of non-performance-based RSUs will receive shares of Successor common stock equal to the number of RSUs that have vested upon settlement. Non-performance-based RSUs generally vest over a three-year vesting period with delivery of the shares occurring at the end of the three-year vesting period. Shares to be delivered to participants are expected to be made available from authorized but unissued shares reserved under the LTIP. The grant-date fair value of the RSUs is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. As of December 31, 2020, there was $29.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the Successor’s nonvested non-performance-based restricted stock unit grants. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years. A summary of the status of our nonvested non-performance-based RSUs issued and the changes during the Successor period is presented below: Number Weighted Nonvested at September 19, 2020 (Successor) — $ — Granted 1,219,867 24.67 Vested — — Forfeited — — Nonvested at December 31, 2020 (Successor) 1,219,867 24.67 Performance-Based Stock Units – Successor In December 2020, the Successor Board of Directors granted performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards to a limited number of employees. The PSU awards vest based on Denbury’s stock price reaching certain levels (based on the daily volume-weighted average common stock price on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for any consecutive 60-day trading period), as shown in the table below, but delivery of the shares will not occur until the conclusion of the three Tier Stock Price Hurdle Cumulative Percentage of PSUs Granted Hereunder that Become Vested (1) 0 Less than $18.75 0% 1 $18.75 25% 2 $21.00 50% 3 $23.25 75% 4 $25.75 100% (1) If the 60-day volume-weighted average price falls between the Stock Price Hurdles in Tier 1, 2, 3 or 4, then the cumulative percentage of PSUs granted that become vested shall be calculated using straight-line interpolation between the corresponding percentages in the table above. PSU awards are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Expected volatilities utilized in the model were estimated using historical volatility of the Predecessor stock over a look-back term generally equivalent to the expected life of the award from the grant date. As of December 31, 2020, there was $16.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the Successor’s nonvested PSU awards. This unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.2 years, though the underlying shares will not be delivered until the conclusion of the three Successor Period from Sept. 19, 2020 through Weighted average fair value of PSU awards granted $ 24.19 Risk-free interest rate 0.21 % Expected life 0.23 years Expected volatility 110.0 % Dividend yield — % A summary of the status of the nonvested PSU awards during the Successor period is as follows: Number Weighted Nonvested at September 19, 2020 (Successor) — $ — Granted 1,021,222 24.19 Vested — — Forfeited — — Nonvested at December 31, 2020 (Successor) 1,021,222 24.19 June 2020 Compensation Adjustments – Predecessor In response to the then ongoing significant economic and market uncertainty affecting the oil and gas industry, in June 2020 the Predecessor and its Board of Directors and Compensation Committee implemented a revised compensation structure under which for 21 of the Company’s executives (including our named executive officers) and senior managers, all outstanding equity awards and 2020 targeted variable cash-based compensation were canceled and replaced with a cash retention incentive. In total, $15.2 million in cash retention incentives were prepaid to those employees in June 2020, with an obligation of the executives to repay up to 100% of the compensation (on an after-tax basis) if specified conditions were not satisfied. The Predecessor’s named executive officers’ cash retention incentives were earned 50% based on their continued employment for a period of up to 12 months and 50% based on achieving certain specified incentive metrics. In accordance with FASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , we accounted for the transaction involving equity compensation as an award modification and reclassified the awards from equity to liability awards. As a result of the modification of the awards, unrecognized compensation at the time of modification was determined to be $18.7 million ($4.1 million of incremental compensation expense), which was higher than the $15.2 million cash payment, and was calculated as the greater of (i) grant date fair value of the previously-outstanding awards plus incremental compensation (defined as cash paid related to the cash retention incentive in excess of the modification date fair value of the previously-existing awards) or (ii) cash paid for the cash retention incentive for each award. The value was recognized as total compensation expense for each award over the service period. The compensation expense was recognized in “General and administrative expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor). The accounting for the Predecessor’s remaining share-based compensation awards continued throughout the period covered by the Chapter 11 Restructuring, and upon cancellation of the awards, an additional $4.6 million of compensation expense was recognized during the Predecessor period ended September 18, 2020. 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan – Predecessor The Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, amended and restated as of March 26, 2020 (the “2004 Plan”), was an incentive plan that provided for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) settled in stock, and performance-based awards to officers, employees and directors. Since the 2004 Plan’s inception, awards covering a total of 61.4 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2004 Plan. In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, all outstanding equity as of September 18, 2020 was cancelled. SARs – Predecessor Prior to January 1, 2016, the Predecessor granted SARs settled in stock to employees. The SARs generally became exercisable over a three The following is a summary of the Predecessor’s SAR activity: Number Weighted Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2019 (Predecessor) 1,981,156 $ 9.12 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited — — Expired (580,087) 12.38 Cancelled (1,401,069) 7.77 Outstanding at September 18, 2020 (Predecessor) — — — $ — Exercisable at end of period — $ — — $ — As of December 31, 2018, all SARs vested and there was no remaining compensation cost to be recognized in future periods related to nonvested share-based SAR compensation arrangements. The grant-date fair value of SARs vested during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $1.1 million. There were no exercises of SARs for the period January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020 (Predecessor) or the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, all SARs outstanding as of September 18, 2020 were cancelled. Restricted Stock – Predecessor During the Predecessor period, we granted non-performance-based restricted stock to employees and directors as part of our long-term compensation program. Holders of non-performance-based restricted stock awards had the rights of owning non-restricted stock (including voting rights) except that the holders were not entitled to delivery of a portion thereof until certain requirements were met. Beginning in 2014, non-performance-based restricted stock awards provided the holders with forfeitable dividend equivalent rights which vested with the underlying shares. Non-performance-based restricted stock vested over a three The following is a summary of the total vesting date fair value of non-performance-based restricted stock: Predecessor Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2019 2018 Fair value of restricted stock vested $ 707 $ 5,743 $ 23,060 A summary of the status of our nonvested non-performance-based restricted stock grants issued and the changes during the Predecessor period is presented below: Number Weighted Nonvested at December 31, 2019 (Predecessor) 12,407,436 $ 1.91 Granted — — Vested (2,743,473) 2.10 Forfeited — — Cancelled (9,663,963) 1.85 Nonvested at September 18, 2020 (Predecessor) — — In connection with our emergence from bankruptcy, all restricted stock outstanding as of September 18, 2020 was cancelled and there was no remaining compensation cost to be recognized in future periods related to nonvested non-performance-based restricted stock arrangements. Performance-Based Equity Awards – Predecessor The Predecessor’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors annually granted performance-based equity awards to Denbury’s officers. Performance-based awards generally vested over 3.25 years for awards granted in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The number of performance-based shares earned (and eligible to vest) during the performance period was dependent upon: (1) the level of success in achieving specifically identified performance targets (“Performance-Based Operational Awards”) and (2) performance of the Predecessor’s stock relative to that of a designated peer group (“Performance-Based TSR Awards”). As discussed above, in conjunction with our 2020 compensation adjustments, all outstanding Predecessor performance-based equity awards were canceled and replaced with a cash retention incentive in June 2020. Performance-Based Operational Awards were valued using the fair market value of the Predecessor’s stock, and Performance-Based TSR Awards were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Expected volatilities utilized in the model were estimated using historical volatility of the Predecessor stock over a look-back term generally equivalent to the expected life of the award from the grant date. The range of assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation valuation approach for Performance-Based TSR Awards (presented at the target level) is as follows: Predecessor Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Weighted average fair value of Performance-Based TSR Awards granted $ 0.15 $ 1.95 $ 2.29 Risk-free interest rate 0.27 % 2.27 % 2.37 % Expected life 3.0 years 3.0 years 3.0 years Expected volatility 89.6 % 77.2 % 102.9 % Dividend yield — % — % — % A summary of the status of the nonvested performance-based equity awards (presented at the target level) during the Predecessor period is as follows: Performance-Based Performance-Based Number Weighted Number Weighted Nonvested at December 31, 2019 (Predecessor) 1,838,584 $ 2.27 4,475,998 $ 2.65 Granted (1) — — 3,041,774 0.15 Vested (2) — — (742,996) 3.42 Forfeited (102,469) 2.28 (385,183) 1.26 Cancelled (1,736,115) 2.27 (6,389,593) 1.23 Nonvested at September 18, 2020 (Predecessor) — — — — (1) Amounts granted reflect the number of performance units granted.

(2) During 2020, the service period lapsed on these TSR performance unit awards. The lapsed units earned a weighted average of 59% of target for each vested TSR performance-based award, representing 438,363 aggregate shares of Predecessor common stock issued. There were no vestings related to the Predecessor’s Operational performance-based awards during 2020.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commodity Derivative Contracts | Note 12. Commodity Derivative Contracts We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change. These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. Under the terms of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement, by December 31, 2020, we were required to have hedges in place covering a minimum of 65% of our anticipated crude oil production for the twelve calendar months between August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 and 35% of our anticipated crude oil production for the second twelve calendar months between August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the hedging requirements of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of December 31, 2020, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset against receivables from separate derivative contracts with the same counterparty. It is our policy to classify derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis on our balance sheets, even if the contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements. The following table summarizes our commodity derivative contracts as of December 31, 2020, none of which are classified as hedging instruments in accordance with the FASC Derivatives and Hedging topic: Months Index Price Volume (Barrels per day) Contract Prices ($/Bbl) Range (1) Weighted Average Price Swap Sold Put Floor Ceiling Oil Contracts: 2021 Fixed-Price Swaps Jan – Dec NYMEX 26,000 $ 38.68 – 47.69 $ 42.54 $ — $ — $ — 2021 Collars Jan – Dec NYMEX 3,000 $ 45.00 – 51.30 $ — $ — $ 45.00 $ 50.95 2022 Fixed-Price Swaps Jan – June NYMEX 8,500 $ 42.65 – 45.50 $ 43.55 $ — $ — $ — (1) Ranges presented for fixed-price swaps represent the lowest and highest fixed prices of all open contracts for the period presented.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 13. Fair Value Measurements The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. • Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX and regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars and the sold put features of our three-way collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. • Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. As of December 31, 2019, instruments in this category included non-exchange-traded three-way collars that were based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). The valuation models utilized for three-way collars were consistent with the methodologies described above; however, the implied volatilities utilized in the valuation of Level 3 instruments were developed using a benchmark, which was considered a significant unobservable input. We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps. The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019: Fair Value Measurements Using: Quoted Prices Significant Significant In thousands (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total December 31, 2020 (Successor) Assets Oil derivative contracts – current $ — $ 187 $ — $ 187 Total Assets $ — $ 187 $ — $ 187 Liabilities Oil derivative contracts – current $ — $ (53,865) $ — $ (53,865) Oil derivative contracts – long-term — (5,087) — (5,087) Total Liabilities $ — $ (58,952) $ — $ (58,952) December 31, 2019 (Predecessor) Assets Oil derivative contracts – current $ — $ 8,503 $ 3,433 $ 11,936 Total Assets $ — $ 8,503 $ 3,433 $ 11,936 Liabilities Oil derivative contracts – current $ — $ (6,522) $ (1,824) $ (8,346) Total Liabilities $ — $ (6,522) $ (1,824) $ (8,346) Since we do not apply hedge accounting for our commodity derivative contracts, any gains and losses on our assets and liabilities are included in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 assets and liabilities for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor Period from Sept. 19, 2020 through Period from Jan. 1, 2020 through Year Ended In thousands Dec. 31, 2019 Fair value of Level 3 instruments, beginning of period $ — $ 1,609 $ 13,624 Transfers out of Level 3 — (1,609) — Fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives — — (8,205) Receipt on settlements of commodity derivatives — — (3,810) Fair value of Level 3 instruments, end of period $ — $ — $ 1,609 The amount of total losses for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized losses relating to assets or liabilities still held at the reporting date $ — $ — $ (556) Instruments previously categorized as Level 3 included non-exchange-traded three-way collars that were based on regional pricing other than NYMEX, whereby the implied volatilities utilized were developed using a benchmark, which was considered a significant unobservable input. The transfers between Level 3 and Level 2 during the period generally relate to changes in the significant relevant observable and unobservable inputs that are available for the fair value measurements of such financial instruments. Other Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of our loans under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement approximate fair value, as they are subject to short-term floating interest rates that approximate the rates available to us for those periods. We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate long-term debt using observable market data. The fair values of the Predecessor’s senior secured second lien notes, convertible senior notes, and senior subordinated notes were based on quoted market prices, which are considered Level 1 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the principal amount of our debt as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, excluding pipeline financing obligations, was $70.0 million and $1,833.1 million, respectively, which decrease is primarily the result of the cancellation of $2.1 billion principal amount of debt as part of the Chapter 11 Restructuring. See Note 1, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code , for additional information. We have other financial instruments consisting primarily of cash, cash equivalents, U.S. Treasury notes, short-term receivables and payables that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instrument and the relatively short maturities. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments We have entered into long-term commitments to purchase CO 2 that are either non-cancelable or cancelable only upon the occurrence of specified future events. The commitments continue for up to 8 years. The price we will pay for CO 2 generally varies depending on the amount of CO 2 delivered and the price of oil. Our annual commitment under these contracts could range from $15 million to $23 million per year, assuming a $60 per Bbl NYMEX oil price. In addition, we have a processing fee contract related to our overriding royalty interest in the CO 2 at LaBarge Field. We estimate our annual commitment under this contract could range from $8 million to $11 million per year based on current processing fee rates. We are party to long-term contracts that require us to deliver CO 2 to our industrial CO 2 customers at various contracted prices. Based upon the maximum amounts deliverable as stated in the industrial contracts, we estimate that we may be obligated to deliver up to 673 Bcf of CO 2 to these customers over the next 14 years. The maximum volume required in any given year is approximately 276 MMcf/d, which we judge to be minor given the size of our Jackson Dome proved CO 2 reserves at December 31, 2020, our current production capabilities and our projected levels of CO 2 usage for our own tertiary flooding program. Chapter 11 Proceedings On July 30, 2020, Denbury Resources Inc. and each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The chapter 11 cases were administered jointly under the caption “ In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al. , Case No. 20-33801”. On September 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order and on the Emergence Date, all of the conditions of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Plan became effective and was implemented in accordance with its terms. On September 30, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court closed the chapter 11 cases of each of Denbury Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The chapter 11 case captioned “ In re Denbury Resources Inc., et al. , Case No. 20-33801” will remain pending until the final resolution of all outstanding claims. Litigation We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our businesses. While we currently believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. We accrue for losses from litigation and claims if we determine that a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Riley Ridge Helium Supply Contract Claim As part of our 2010 and 2011 acquisitions of the Riley Ridge Unit and associated gas processing facility that was under construction, the Company assumed a 20-year helium supply contract under which we agreed to supply the helium separated from the full well stream by operation of the gas processing facility to a third-party purchaser, APMTG Helium, LLC (“APMTG”). As the gas processing facility was shut-in during mid-2014 due to significant technical issues, we were not able to supply helium under the helium supply contract. In a case filed in November 2014 in the Ninth Judicial District Court of Sublette County, Wyoming, APMTG claimed multiple years of liquidated damages for non-delivery of volumes of helium specified under the helium supply contract. The Company claimed that its contractual obligations were excused by virtue of events that fall within the force majeure provisions in the helium supply contract. On March 11, 2019, the trial court entered a final judgment that a force majeure condition did exist, but such condition only excused the Company’s performance for a 35-day period in 2014, and as a result the Company should pay APMTG liquidated damages and interest thereon for all other time periods for performance from contract commencement to the close of evidence (November 29, 2017). On December 4, 2020, the Wyoming Supreme Court entered a judgment affirming the trial court’s ruling on all counts and, as a result, the Company paid total liquidated damages (including interest) of $52.1 million to APMTG on December 23, 2020 in full satisfaction of all claims. The Company had previously recorded an accrual for these costs in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other Contingencies We are subject to audits for various taxes (income, sales and use, and severance) in the various states in which we operate, and from time to time receive assessments for potential taxes that we may owe. In the past, settlement of these matters has not had a material adverse financial impact on us, and currently we have no material assessments for potential taxes. We are subject to various possible contingencies that arise primarily from interpretation of federal and state laws and regulations affecting the oil and natural gas industry. Such contingencies include differing interpretations as to the prices at which oil and natural gas sales may be made, the prices at which royalty owners may be paid for production from their leases, environmental issues and other matters. Although we believe that we have complied with the various laws and regulations, administrative rulings and interpretations thereof, adjustments could be required as new interpretations and regulations are issued. In addition, production rates, marketing and environmental matters are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Organization and Nature of Operations | Organization and Nature of Operations Denbury Inc. (“Denbury,” “Company” or the “Successor”), a Delaware corporation, is an independent energy company with operations focused on producing oil from mature oil fields in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions. The Company is differentiated by its focus on CO 2 EOR and the emerging CCUS industry, supported by the Company’s CO 2 EOR technical and operational expertise and its extensive CO 2 pipeline infrastructure. The utilization of captured industrial-sourced CO 2 in EOR significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the oil that Denbury produces, underpinning the Company’s goal to fully offset its Scope 1, 2, and 3 CO 2 emissions within the decade. As further described in Emergence from Voluntary Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code below, Denbury Inc. became the successor reporting company of Denbury Resources Inc. (the “Predecessor”) upon the Predecessor’s emergence from bankruptcy on September 18, 2020. References to “Successor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company subsequent to September 18, 2020, and references to “Predecessor” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company prior to, and including, September 18, 2020. On September 18, 2020, Denbury filed the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State to effect a change of the Company’s corporate name from Denbury Resources Inc. to Denbury Inc., and on September 21, 2020, the Successor’s new common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DEN. |
Principles of Reporting and Consolidation | Principles of Reporting and Consolidation The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Denbury and entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. Undivided interests in oil and gas joint ventures are consolidated on a proportionate basis. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Use Of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of certain assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates underlying these financial statements include (1) the fair value of financial derivative instruments; (2) the estimated quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves used to compute depletion of oil and natural gas properties, the related present value of estimated future net cash flows therefrom and the ceiling test; (3) future net cash flow estimates used in the impairment assessment of long-lived assets; (4) the estimated quantities of proved and probable CO 2 reserves used to compute depletion of CO 2 properties; (5) estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets; (6) accruals related to oil and natural gas sales volumes and revenues, capital expenditures and lease operating expenses; (7) the estimated costs and timing of future asset retirement obligations; (8) estimates made in the calculation of income taxes; and (9) fair value estimates including estimates of reorganization value, enterprise value, and the fair value of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the adoption of fresh start accounting. While management is not aware of any significant revisions to any of its current year-end estimates, there will likely be future revisions to its estimates resulting from matters such as revisions in estimated oil and natural gas volumes, changes in ownership interests, payouts, joint venture audits, re-allocations by purchasers or pipelines, or other corrections and adjustments common in the oil and natural gas industry, many of which require retroactive application. These types of adjustments cannot be currently estimated and will be recorded in the period in which the adjustment occurs. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on our reported total revenues, expenses, net income, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity. |
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash We consider all highly liquid investments to be cash equivalents if they have maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to “Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period” as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 518 $ 516 Restricted cash, current 1,000 — Restricted cash included in other assets 40,730 32,529 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 42,248 $ 33,045 |
Oil and Natural Gas Properties | Oil and Natural Gas Properties Capitalized Costs. We follow the full cost method of accounting for oil and natural gas properties. Under this method, all costs related to the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves are capitalized and accumulated in a single cost center representing our activities, which are undertaken exclusively in the United States. Such costs include lease acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties, costs of drilling both productive and nonproductive wells, capitalized interest on qualifying projects, and general and administrative expenses directly related to exploration and development activities, and do not include any costs related to production, general corporate overhead or similar activities. We assign the purchase price of oil and natural gas properties we acquire to proved and unevaluated properties based on the estimated fair values as defined in the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic. Proceeds received from disposals are credited against accumulated costs except when the sale represents a significant disposal of reserves, in which case a gain or loss would be recognized. A disposal of 25% or more of our proved reserves would be considered significant. Depletion and Depreciation. The costs capitalized, including production equipment and future development costs, are depleted or depreciated using the unit-of-production method, based on proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum engineers. Oil and natural gas reserves are converted to equivalent units on a basis of 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of crude oil. Under full cost accounting, we may exclude certain unevaluated costs from the amortization base pending determination of whether proved reserves can be assigned to such properties. The costs classified as unevaluated are transferred to the full cost amortization base as the properties are developed, tested and evaluated. At least annually, we test these assets for impairment based on an evaluation of management’s expectations of future pricing, evaluation of lease expiration terms, and planned project development activities. As a result of this analysis, we recognized impairments of our unevaluated costs totaling $18.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, whereby these costs were transferred to the full cost amortization base. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices in March and April 2020 due to the oil supply and demand imbalance precipitated by the dramatic fall in demand associated with the COVID-19 coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic combined with the concurrent OPEC+ decision to increase oil supply, we reassessed our development plans and transferred $244.9 million of our unevaluated costs to the full cost pool during the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our oil and natural gas properties, including unevaluated properties, being recorded at their fair values at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting , for additional information). Write-Down of Oil and Natural Gas Properties. The net capitalized costs of oil and natural gas properties are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost center ceiling. The cost center ceiling is defined as (1) the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves before future abandonment costs (discounted at 10%), based on the average first-day-of-the-month oil and natural gas price for each month during a 12-month rolling period prior to the end of a particular reporting period; plus (2) the cost of properties not being amortized; plus (3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any; less (4) related income tax effects. Our future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas reserves are not reduced for development costs related to the cost of drilling for and developing CO 2 reserves nor those related to the cost of constructing CO 2 pipelines, as we do not have to incur additional costs to develop the proved oil and natural gas reserves. Therefore, we include in the ceiling test, as a reduction of future net revenues, that portion of our capitalized CO 2 costs related to CO 2 reserves and CO 2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves. The fair value of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts is not included in the ceiling test, as we do not designate these contracts as hedge instruments for accounting purposes. The cost center ceiling test is prepared quarterly. The average first-day-of-the-month NYMEX oil price used in estimating our proved reserves, after adjustments for market differentials and transportation expenses by field, was $55.55 at December 31, 2019, $40.08 at September 18, 2020, and $35.84 at December 31, 2020. Primarily as a result of these commodity price declines, the Predecessor recognized full cost pool ceiling test write-downs of $996.7 million during the period from January 1, 2020 through September 18, 2020, and an additional full cost pool ceiling test write-down of $1.0 million was recognized during the Successor period from September 19, 2020 through December 31, 2020. We did not record any ceiling test write-downs during the Predecessor periods of 2018 or 2019. Joint Interest Operations. Substantially all of our oil and natural gas exploration and production activities are conducted jointly with others. These financial statements reflect only our proportionate interest in such activities, and any amounts due from other partners are included in trade receivables. Tertiary Injection Costs. Our tertiary operations are conducted in reservoirs that have already produced significant amounts of oil over many years; however, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for recording proved reserves, we cannot recognize proved reserves associated with enhanced recovery techniques, such as CO 2 injection, until we can demonstrate production resulting from the tertiary process or unless the field is analogous to an existing flood. We capitalize, as a development cost, injection costs in fields that are in their development stage, which means we have not yet seen incremental oil production due to the CO 2 injections (i.e., a production response). These capitalized development costs are included in our unevaluated property costs until we are able to recognize proved reserves associated with the development project. After we see a production response to the CO 2 injections (i.e., the production stage), injection costs are expensed as incurred, and any previously deferred unevaluated development costs become subject to depletion. |
Property, Plant, and Equipment Policy | CO 2 Properties We own and produce CO 2 reserves, a non-hydrocarbon resource, that are used in our tertiary oil recovery operations on our own behalf and on behalf of other interest owners in enhanced recovery fields, with a portion sold to third-party industrial users. We record revenue from our sales of CO 2 to third parties when it is produced and sold. Expenses related to the production of CO 2 are allocated between volumes sold to third parties and volumes consumed internally that are directly related to our tertiary production. The expenses related to third-party sales are recorded in “CO 2 operating and discovery expenses,” and the expenses related to internal use are recorded in “Lease operating expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations or are capitalized as oil and natural gas properties in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending on the stage of the tertiary flood that is receiving the CO 2 (see Tertiary Injection Costs above for further discussion). Costs incurred to search for CO 2 are expensed as incurred until proved or probable reserves are established. Once proved or probable reserves are established, costs incurred to obtain those reserves are capitalized and classified as “CO 2 properties” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capitalized CO 2 costs are aggregated by geologic formation and depleted on a unit-of-production basis over proved and probable reserves. Pipelines CO 2 used in our tertiary floods is transported to our fields through CO 2 pipelines. Costs of CO 2 pipelines under construction are not depreciated until the pipelines are placed into service. Pipelines are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 43 years. Capitalized costs include $0.7 million of CO 2 pipelines as of December 31, 2020, that were either under construction or had not been placed into service and therefore, were not subject to depreciation during 2020. Property and Equipment – Other Other property and equipment, which includes furniture and fixtures, vehicles, and computer equipment and software, is depreciated principally on a straight-line basis over each asset’s estimated useful life. Vehicles and furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over a useful life of one one Maintenance and repair costs that do not extend the useful life of the property or equipment are charged to expense as incurred. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Our intangible assets subject to amortization for the Predecessor period primarily consisted of amounts assigned in purchase accounting to a CO 2 purchase contract with ConocoPhillips to offtake CO 2 from the Lost Cabin gas plant in Wyoming, and for the Successor period represent amounts assigned in fresh start accounting to long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers. We amortize the CO 2 contract intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven Successor Predecessor In thousands December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers $ 97,943 $ — Other intangibles 2,167 37,668 Accumulated amortization (2,748) (15,529) Net book value $ 97,362 $ 22,139 As of December 31, 2020, our estimated amortization expense for our intangible assets subject to amortization over the next five years is as follows: In thousands 2021 $ 9,117 2022 9,117 2023 9,117 2024 9,117 2025 9,117 |
Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment Assessment of Long-Lived Assets We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. These long-lived assets, which are not subject to our full cost pool ceiling test, are principally comprised of our capitalized CO 2 properties and pipelines, and for the Successor period also included long-term contracts to sell CO 2 to industrial customers. Given the significant declines in NYMEX oil prices to approximately $20 per Bbl in late March 2020 due to OPEC supply pressures and a reduction in worldwide oil demand amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a long-lived asset impairment test for our two long-lived asset groups (Gulf Coast region and Rocky Mountain region) as of March 31, 2020 (Predecessor). We perform our long-lived asset impairment test by comparing the net carrying costs of our long-lived asset groups to the respective expected future undiscounted net cash flows that are supported by these long-lived assets which include production of our probable and possible oil and natural gas reserves. The portion of our capitalized CO 2 costs related to CO 2 reserves and CO 2 pipelines that we estimate will be consumed in the process of producing our proved oil and natural gas reserves is included in the full cost pool ceiling test as a reduction to future net revenues. The remaining net capitalized costs that are not included in the full cost pool ceiling test, and related intangible assets, are subject to long-lived asset impairment testing. These costs totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 (Predecessor). If the undiscounted net cash flows are below the net carrying costs for an asset group, we must record an impairment loss by the amount, if any, that net carrying costs exceed the fair value of the long-lived asset group. The undiscounted net cash flows for our asset groups exceeded the net carrying costs; thus, step two of the impairment test was not required and no impairment was recorded. Significant assumptions impacting expected future undiscounted net cash flows include projections of future oil and natural gas prices, projections of estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves, projections of future rates of production, timing and amount of future development and operating costs, projected availability and cost of CO 2 , projected recovery factors of tertiary reserves and risk-adjustment factors applied to the cash flows. We performed a qualitative assessment as of June 30, 2020 and September 18, 2020 (Predecessor periods) and determined there were no material changes to our key cash flow assumptions and no triggering events since the analysis performed as of March 31, 2020; therefore, no impairment test was performed for the second quarter of 2020 or for the period ending September 18, 2020. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh start accounting which resulted in our long-lived assets being recorded at their fair value at the Emergence Date (see Note 2, Fresh Start Accounting |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations In general, our future asset retirement obligations relate to future costs associated with plugging and abandoning our oil, natural gas and CO 2 wells, removing equipment and facilities from leased acreage, and returning land to its original condition. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded in the period in which it is incurred, discounted to its present value using our credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rate, and a corresponding amount capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is accreted each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Revisions to estimated retirement obligations will result in an adjustment to the related capitalized asset and corresponding liability. If the liability for an oil or natural gas well is settled for an amount other than the recorded amount, the difference is recorded to the full cost pool. Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the present value of expected future net cash flows. We utilize unobservable inputs in the estimation of asset retirement obligations that include, but are not limited to, costs of labor and materials, profits on costs of labor and materials, the effect of inflation on estimated costs, and the discount rate. Accordingly, asset retirement obligations are considered a Level 3 measurement under the FASC Fair Value Measurement topic. |
Commodity Derivative Contracts | Commodity Derivative Contracts We utilize oil and natural gas derivative contracts to mitigate our exposure to commodity price risk associated with our future oil and natural gas production. These derivative contracts have historically consisted of options, in the form of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. Our derivative financial instruments, other than any derivative instruments that are designated under the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion, are recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. We do not apply hedge accounting to our commodity derivative contracts; accordingly, changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized in “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of change. We do not apply hedge accounting treatment to our oil and natural gas derivative contracts; therefore, the changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized in income in the period of change. These fair value changes, along with the settlements of expired contracts, are shown under “Commodity derivatives expense (income)” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Historically, we have entered into various oil and natural gas derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future oil and natural gas production and to provide more certainty to our future cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Generally, these contracts have consisted of various combinations of price floors, collars, three-way collars, fixed-price swaps, fixed-price swaps enhanced with a sold put, and basis swaps. The production that we hedge has varied from year to year depending on our levels of debt, financial strength and expectation of future commodity prices. Under the terms of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement, by December 31, 2020, we were required to have hedges in place covering a minimum of 65% of our anticipated crude oil production for the twelve calendar months between August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 and 35% of our anticipated crude oil production for the second twelve calendar months between August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the hedging requirements of our Successor Bank Credit Agreement. We manage and control market and counterparty credit risk through established internal control procedures that are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure to counterparties through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification, and all of our commodity derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our Successor Bank Credit Agreement (or affiliates of such lenders). As of December 31, 2020, all of our outstanding derivative contracts were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements whereby payables on those contracts can be offset |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Concentrations of Credit Risk Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade and accrued production receivables, and the derivative instruments discussed above. Our cash equivalents represent high-quality securities placed with various investment-grade institutions. This investment practice limits our exposure to concentrations of credit risk. Our trade and accrued production receivables are dispersed among various customers and purchasers; therefore, concentrations of credit risk are limited. We evaluate the credit ratings of our purchasers, and if customers are considered a credit risk, letters of credit are the primary security obtained to support lines of credit. We attempt to minimize our credit risk exposure to the counterparties of our oil and natural gas derivative contracts through formal credit policies, monitoring procedures and diversification. All of our derivative contracts are with parties that are lenders under our senior secured bank credit facility (or affiliates of such lenders). There are no margin requirements with the counterparties of our derivative contracts. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect at year end. The effect on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized. |
Uncertain Tax Positions | We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. |
Net Income per Common Share | Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated in the same manner, but includes the impact of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities during the Successor period consist of nonvested restricted stock units, nonvested performance stock units, and warrants, and during the Predecessor period have historically consisted of nonvested restricted stock, nonvested performance-based equity awards, and shares into which our convertible senior notes are convertible. The following table sets forth the reconciliations of net income (loss) and weighted average shares used for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the periods indicated: Successor Predecessor Period from Period from Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2019 2018 Numerator Net income (loss) – basic $ (50,658) $ (1,432,578) $ 216,959 $ 322,698 Effect of potentially dilutive securities Interest on convertible senior notes including amortization of discount, net of tax — — 14,134 539 Net income (loss) – diluted $ (50,658) $ (1,432,578) $ 231,093 $ 323,237 Denominator Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic 50,000 495,560 459,524 432,483 Effect of potentially dilutive securities Restricted stock and performance-based equity awards — — 2,396 6,500 Convertible senior notes (1) — — 48,421 17,186 Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted 50,000 495,560 510,341 456,169 (1) For the year ended December 31, 2019, shares shown under “convertible senior notes” represent the prorated portion of the approximately 90.9 million shares of the Predecessor’s common stock issuable upon full conversion of the convertible senior notes which were issued on June 19, 2019 (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt – 2019 Predecessor Debt Reduction Transactions ). Time-vesting restricted stock is included in basic weighted average common shares from the vesting date (although time-vesting restricted stock is issued and outstanding upon grant). For purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the nonvested restricted stock and performance-based equity awards are included in the computation using the treasury stock method, with the deemed proceeds equal to the average unrecognized compensation during the period, and for the shares underlying the convertible senior notes as if the convertible senior notes were converted at the earliest date outstanding during the respective periods. In April and May 2018, all of the then outstanding 3½% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 and 5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 converted into shares of Denbury common stock, resulting in the issuance of 55.2 million shares of our common stock upon conversion. These shares have been included in basic weighted average common shares outstanding beginning on the date of conversion. The following securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future, but were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive: Successor Predecessor Period from Period from Year Ended December 31, In thousands 2019 2018 Stock appreciation rights — 1,007 2,027 2,743 Restricted stock and performance-based equity awards — 7,280 5,505 1,234 Convertible senior notes — 87,888 — — Restricted stock units (1) 328 — — — Warrants (2) 5,526 — — — |
Environmental and Litigation Contingencies | Environmental and Litigation Contingencies The Company makes judgments and estimates in recording liabilities for contingencies such as environmental remediation or ongoing litigation. Liabilities are recorded when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and such loss is reasonably estimable. Assessments of liabilities are based on information obtained from independent and in-house experts, loss experience in similar situations, actual costs incurred, and other case-by-case factors. Any related insurance recoveries are recognized in our financial statements during the period received or at the time receipt is determined to be virtually certain. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, and requires the use of a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 adds, modifies, or removes certain disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements based on the FASB’s consideration of costs and benefits. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-13. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or footnote disclosures. Leases. During the Predecessor period, effective January 1, 2019, we adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases , and ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842) – Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842 , using the modified retrospective method with an application date of January 1, 2019. For a discussion of our current accounting for lease contracts, see Note 5, Leases . Not Yet Adopted Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions to ease financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate to alternative reference rates. The amendments in this ASU were effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. Currently, our Successor Bank Credit Agreement is our only contract that makes reference to a LIBOR rate and the agreement outlines the specific procedures that will be undertaken once an appropriate alternative benchmark is identified. We do not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The objective of ASU 2019-12 is to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and to provide more consistent application to improve the comparability of financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures. |
Revenue Recognition | We record revenue in accordance with FASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The core principle of FASC Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount of consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. This principle is achieved through applying a five-step process for customer contract revenue recognition: • Identify the contract or contracts with a customer – We derive the majority of our revenues from oil and natural gas sales contracts and CO 2 sales and transportation contracts. The contracts specify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and contain commercial substance as they impact our financial statements. A high percentage of our receivables balance is current, and we have not historically entered into contracts with counterparties that pose a credit risk without requiring adequate economic protection to ensure collection. • Identify the performance obligations in the contract – Each of our revenue contracts specify a volume per day, or production from a lease designated in the contract (a distinct good), to be delivered at the delivery point over the term of the contract (the identified performance obligation). The customer takes delivery and physical possession of the product at the delivery point, which generally is also the point at which title transfers and the customer obtains the risks and rewards of ownership (the identified performance obligation is satisfied). • Determine the transaction price – Typically, our oil and natural gas contracts define the price as a formula price based on the average market price, as specified on set dates each month, for the specific commodity during the month of delivery. Certain of our CO 2 contracts define the price as a fixed contractual price adjusted to an inflation index to reflect market pricing. Given the industry practice to invoice customers the month following the month of delivery and our high probability of collection of payment, no significant financing component is included in our contracts. • Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract – The majority of our revenue contracts are short-term, with terms of one year or less, to which we have applied the practical expedient permitted under the standard eliminating the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. In limited instances, we have revenue contracts with terms greater than one year; however, the future delivery volumes are wholly unsatisfied as they represent separate performance obligations with variable consideration. We utilized the practical expedient which eliminates the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. As there is only one performance obligation associated with our contracts, no allocation of the transaction price is necessary. • Recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation – Once we have delivered the volume of commodity to the delivery point and the customer takes delivery and possession, we are entitled to payment and we invoice the customer for such delivered production. Payment under most oil and CO 2 contracts is made within a month following product delivery and for natural gas and NGL contracts is generally made within two months following delivery. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers; however, as the right to consideration after delivery is unconditional based on only the passage of time before payment of the consideration is due, upon delivery we record a receivable in “Accrued production receivable” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition to revenues from oil and natural gas sales contracts and CO 2 sales and transportation contracts, the Company enters into marketing arrangements for the purchase and sale of crude oil for third parties in the Gulf Coast region. Revenues and expenses from these transactions are presented on a gross basis, as we act as a principal in the transaction by assuming control of the commodities purchased and the responsibility to deliver the commodities sold. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the purchaser at the delivery point based on the price received from the purchaser. |
Leases | We evaluate contracts for leasing arrangements at inception. We lease office space, equipment, and vehicles that have non-cancelable lease terms. Currently, our outstanding leases have remaining terms up to 7 years, with certain land leases having remaining terms up to 49 years. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on our balance sheet.The majority of our leases contain renewal options, typically exercisable at our sole discretion. At emergence, we recorded right-of-use assets and liabilities based on the fair value of lease payments and utilized our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the Emergence Date.Lease costs for operating leases or leases with a term of 12 months or less are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset are recognized separately, with the depreciable life reflective of the expected lease term. |
Stock Compensation | Restricted Stock Units – Successor In December 2020, non-performance-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards were granted to directors and a limited number of employees under the Successor’s LTIP. Holders of non-performance-based RSUs will receive shares of Successor common stock equal to the number of RSUs that have vested upon settlement. Non-performance-based RSUs generally vest over a three-year vesting period with delivery of the shares occurring at the end of the three-year vesting period. Shares to be delivered to participants are expected to be made available from authorized but unissued shares reserved under the LTIP. The grant-date fair value of the RSUs is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. SARs – Predecessor Prior to January 1, 2016, the Predecessor granted SARs settled in stock to employees. The SARs generally became exercisable over a three Restricted Stock – Predecessor During the Predecessor period, we granted non-performance-based restricted stock to employees and directors as part of our long-term compensation program. Holders of non-performance-based restricted stock awards had the rights of owning non-restricted stock (including voting rights) except that the holders were not entitled to delivery of a portion thereof until certain requirements were met. Beginning in 2014, non-performance-based restricted stock awards provided the holders with forfeitable dividend equivalent rights which vested with the underlying shares. Non-performance-based restricted stock vested over a three Performance-Based Equity Awards – Predecessor The Predecessor’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors annually granted performance-based equity awards to Denbury’s officers. Performance-based awards generally vested over 3.25 years for awards granted in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The number of performance-based shares earned (and eligible to vest) during the performance period was dependent upon: (1) the level of success in achieving specifically identified performance targets (“Performance-Based Operational Awards”) and (2) performance of the Predecessor’s stock relative to that of a designated peer group (“Performance-Based TSR Awards”). As discussed above, in conjunction with our 2020 compensation adjustments, all outstanding Predecessor performance-based equity awards were canceled and replaced with a cash retention incentive in June 2020. |
Fair Value Measurements | The FASC Fair Value Measurement topic defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (often referred to as the “exit price”). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the income approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We are able to classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The FASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. • Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded oil derivatives that are based on NYMEX and regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). Our costless collars and the sold put features of our three-way collars are valued using the Black-Scholes model, an industry standard option valuation model that takes into account inputs such as contractual prices for the underlying instruments, maturity, quoted forward prices for commodities, interest rates, volatility factors and credit worthiness, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. • Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. As of December 31, 2019, instruments in this category included non-exchange-traded three-way collars that were based on regional pricing other than NYMEX (e.g., Light Louisiana Sweet). The valuation models utilized for three-way collars were consistent with the methodologies described above; however, the implied volatilities utilized in the valuation of Level 3 instruments were developed using a benchmark, which was considered a significant unobservable input. We adjust the valuations from the valuation model for nonperformance risk, using our estimate of the counterparty’s credit quality for asset positions and our credit quality for liability positions. We use multiple sources of third-party credit data in determining counterparty nonperformance risk, including credit default swaps. |
