                   GENESIS APPOINTS NEW SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM

         HOUSTON , August 8, 2006 - Genesis Energy, L.P. (AMEX symbol: GEL)
("Genesis") and Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE symbol: DNR) ("Denbury") today
announced the appointment of three new senior officers for Genesis: Grant E.
Sims, former CEO of Leviathan Gas Pipeline Partners, L.P. was appointed as the
new Chief Executive Officer of Genesis and a member of the Board of Directors;
Joseph A. Blount, Jr., former President and Chief Operating Officer of Unocal
Midstream & Trade, was appointed as President and Chief Operating Officer; and
Brad N. Graves, former Vice President of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., was
appointed as Executive Vice President of Business Development. As part of their
compensation and incentive package, the new executives will be given four year
employment agreements and an opportunity to earn a portion of the general
partner interest currently owned 100% by Denbury, if they meet certain
performance criteria. These seasoned midstream energy executives will be
expected to grow the existing asset base of Genesis at which point Denbury would
plan to sell and leaseback certain of its existing and planned midstream assets
to Genesis.

         Gareth Roberts, Chairman of Board of Genesis and CEO of Denbury said,
"We want to thank Mark Gorman, who is resigning to pursue other interests, for
his many years of service, his leadership, and his contribution to Genesis. He
has been instrumental in turning Genesis around and getting the company on
stable footing."

         "We believe it is time to build on this solid foundation and take
Genesis to the next level. We are excited to be able to enlist the services of
such a quality and experienced management team and expect these gentlemen to
provide the impetus for future growth and increased value for all unitholders.
We are excited about what the future holds for Genesis."

         Genesis Energy, L.P. (www.genesiscrudeoil.com) operates crude oil
common carrier pipelines and is an independent gatherer and marketer of crude
oil in North America, with operations concentrated in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama,
Florida, and Mississippi. Genesis Energy, L.P. also operates an industrial gases
business.

         Denbury Resources Inc. (www.denbury.com) is a growing independent oil
and gas company. Denbury is the largest oil and natural gas operator in
Mississippi, owns the largest reserves of CO2 used for tertiary oil recovery
east of the Mississippi River, and holds key operating acreage in the onshore
Louisiana and Texas Barnett Shale areas. Denbury increases the value of acquired
properties in its core areas through a combination of exploitation drilling and
proven engineering extraction practices.

         This press release, other than historical financial information,
contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
including expected growth and value potential, and other risks and uncertainties
detailed in Genesis's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including most recent reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. These risks and
uncertainties are incorporated by this reference as though fully set forth
herein. These statements are based on operating assumptions that management
believes are reasonable based on currently available information; however,
management's assumptions and Genesis' future performance are both subject to a
wide range of business risks, and there is no assurance that these goals and
projections can or will be met. Actual results may vary materially.
