securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the
factors contained in our Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year
ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and updated, if
applicable, in our Quarterly Reports on Form&nbsp;10-Q before investing in our
securities. You should also consider similar information contained in any
Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K, Quarterly Report on Form&nbsp;10-Q or other
document filed by us with the SEC after the date of this prospectus before
deciding to invest in our securities. If any of these risks were to occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely
affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other
securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we
may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in the
prospectus supplement.</font></p>

in this prospectus may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Where any
forward-looking statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases
underlying the forward-looking statement, we caution that, while we believe
these assumptions or bases to be reasonable and made in good faith, assumed
facts or bases almost always vary from the actual results, and the differences
between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material, depending
upon the circumstances. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we or our
management express an expectation or belief as to future results, such
expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed to have a
reasonable basis. We cannot assure you, however, that the statement of
expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished. These
statements relate to analyses and other information which are based on
forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable.
These statements also relate to our future prospects, developments and business
strategies. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of
terms and phrases such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148;

phrases, including references to assumptions. These statements are contained in
the section &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and other sections of this prospectus. These forward
looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual
future activities and results of operations to be materially different from
those suggested or described in this prospectus. These risks include the risks
that are identified in the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section of this prospectus, and also

is our EOR project in the 13,636 acre Delhi Field, located in northeast
Louisiana.&#160; Our interests consist of 7.4%
in overriding and mineral royalty interests, a 25% after pay-out reversionary
working interest (20% revenue interest) in the Delhi Field Holt Bryant Unit,
and a 25% working interest (20% revenue interest) in certain other depths in
the Delhi Field, resulting from the Farmout we completed on June&nbsp;12, 2006,
with Denbury Onshore LLC, a subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. (the &#147;Operator&#148;)
(the &#147;Delhi Farmout&#148;).&#160; The Holt Bryant
Unit in the Delhi Field is currently being redeveloped by the Operator, using
CO2 enhanced oil recovery technology and a dedicated portion of the Operator&#146;s
proved CO2 reserves in the Jackson Dome, located approximately 100 miles east
of Delhi.&#160; Following several years of
development by the Operator, CO2 injection had begun in the Holt Bryant Unit in
the Delhi Field in November&nbsp;2009, followed by initial oil production in March&nbsp;2010.</font></p>

general terms of debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate.
A prospectus supplement will describe the terms relating to any debt securities
to be offered in greater detail, and may provide information that is different
from this prospectus. If the information in the prospectus supplement differs
with respect to the particular debt securities being offered from this prospectus,
you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. The debt
securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The
particular terms of each series that are offered by a prospectus supplement
will be described in the prospectus supplement.</font></p>

our operations through subsidiaries. Unless the debt securities are guaranteed
by our subsidiaries as described below, the rights of our company and our
creditors, including holders of the debt securities, to participate in the
assets of any subsidiary upon the latter&#146;s liquidation or reorganization will
be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary&#146;s creditors, except to the
extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized claims against such
subsidiary.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:23.1pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The debt securities will be
either our senior debt securities or our subordinated debt securities. The
senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities will be issued
under separate indentures among us, and any domestic subsidiaries that become
guarantors of the debt securities (and are added as co-registrants to the
registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part), and a
trustee that meets certain requirements and is selected by us (the &#147;Trustee&#148;).
Senior debt securities will be issued under a &#147;Senior Indenture&#148; and
subordinated debt securities will be issued under a &#147;Subordinated Indenture.&#148;
Together, the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture are called &#147;Indentures.&#148;</font></p>

provisions of the Indentures below. The summary is not complete and is
qualified in its entirety by express reference to the provisions of the
Indentures. The form of each Indenture has been filed with the SEC as an
exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and
you should read the Indentures for provisions that may be important to you. In
the summary below, we have included references to article or section numbers of
the applicable Indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions.
Whenever we refer in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement to
particular article or sections or defined terms of the Indentures, those
article or sections or defined terms are incorporated by reference herein or
therein, as applicable. The Indentures will be subject to and governed by
certain provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, and we refer you to the
Indentures and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such provisions.

securities of any series (Section&nbsp;301). We will determine the terms and
conditions of the debt securities, including the maturity, principal and
interest, but those terms must be consistent with the Indenture. The debt
securities will be our unsecured obligations.</font></p>

or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner and
Holder of such Global Security and the debt securities that it represents for
all purposes under the debt securities and the applicable Indenture (Section&nbsp;308).
Except in the limited circumstances referred to above, owners of beneficial
interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have such Global
Security or any debt securities that it represents registered in their names,
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated
debt securities in exchange for those interests and will not be considered to
be the owners or Holders of such Global Security or any debt securities that is
represents for any purpose under the debt securities or the applicable
Indenture. All payments on a Global Security will be made to the Depositary or
its nominee, as the case may be, as the Holder of the security. The laws of
some jurisdictions require that some purchasers of debt securities take
physical delivery of such debt securities in definitive form. These laws may
impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.</font></p>

interests in a Global Security will be limited to institutions that have
accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (&#147;participants&#148;) and to persons
that may hold beneficial interests through participants. In connection with the
issuance of any Global Security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry
registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of debt
securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of its
participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be
shown only on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected
only through, records maintained by the Depositary (with respect to
participants&#146; interests) or any such participant (with respect to interests of
persons held by such participants on their behalf). Payments, transfers,
exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in a Global
Security may be subject to various policies and procedures adopted by the
Depositary from time to time. None of us, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Trustees or the agents of ourself, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Trustees
will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the Depositary&#146;s or
any participant&#146;s records relating to, or for payments made on account of,
beneficial interests in a Global Security, or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.</font></p>

Defeasance</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">. The Indentures provide that, upon our exercise of
our option (if any) to have Section&nbsp;1503 applied to any debt securities,
we may omit to comply with certain restrictive covenants (but not to
conversion, if applicable), including those that may be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement, the occurrence of certain Events of Default,
which are described above in clause (5)&nbsp;(with respect to such restrictive
covenants) and clause (6)&nbsp;(with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries)
under &#147;Events of Default&#148; and any that may be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement, will not be deemed to either be or result in an Event of
Default and, if such debt securities are subordinated debt securities, the
provisions of the Subordinated Indenture relating to subordination will cease
to be effective, in each case with respect to such debt securities. In order to
exercise such option, we must deposit, in trust for the benefit of the Holders
of such debt securities, money or United States Government Obligations, or
both, which, through the payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient to
pay the principal of and any premium and interest on such debt securities on
the respective Stated Maturities in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Indenture and such debt securities. Such covenant defeasance may occur only if
we have delivered to the applicable Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that in
effect says that Holders of such debt securities will not recognize gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
and covenant defeasance were not to occur, and the requirements set forth in
clauses (2), (3), (4)&nbsp;and (5)&nbsp;above are satisfied. If we exercise
this option with respect to any debt securities and such debt securities were
declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
amount of money and United States Government Obligations so deposited in trust
would be sufficient to pay amounts due on such debt securities at the time of
their respective Stated Maturities but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due
on such debt securities upon any acceleration resulting from such Event of
Default. In such case, we would remain liable for such payments (Sections 1503
and 1504).</font></p>

pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;or Section&nbsp;15(d)&nbsp;of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(7)&nbsp;Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>
