Denbury Resources history

In September 1984, the name of the company was changed to "Newscope Resources Limited".

After 1987, however, the unvarying quality of its existence began to change.

In a transaction completed four months later, the company acquired all the outstanding shares of Denbury Management, a Mississippi-based company formed in 1990, and appointed its leader, Gareth Roberts, president and chief executive officer of Newscope.

In March 1992, the company sold its Manitoba oil and gas properties--the historical roots of the organization.

After adopting Newport Resources as its corporate title, the company changed its name three more times during the ensuing nine years, eventually settling on Denbury Resources, Inc. in December 1995.

The first of Denbury's signal purchases occurred in May 1996.

In 1998, the company acquired properties from Chevron Corporation for $202 million.

In April 1999, the deal was concluded, when Texas Pacific gave Denbury $100 million in return for increasing its ownership in the company from 32 percent to 60 percent.

In 2002, the company acquired the McComb field for $2.3 million.

By 2003, after carbon dioxide flooding of the property, Little Creek was averaging 3,201 barrels of oil per day.

2004: Denbury sells its properties in the Gulf Coast, divesting Denbury Offshore, Inc.

In 2010, the company acquired Encore Acquisition Company in a $4.6 billion transaction.

In 2012, the company acquired Thompson Field in Fort Bend County, Texas for $360 million.

In 2013, the company acquired fields in the Cedar Creek Anticline from ConocoPhillips for $1.05 billion.

In 2017, Christian S. Kendall was named chief executive officer of the company.
