HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--Genesis Energy, L.P. (AMEX:GEL) announced today that it has priced
its offering of 8,000,000 common units at a price to the public of
$22.00 per unit, representing a 1,000,000 unit increase above the
original planned offering of 7,000,000 common units. In connection
with the public offering, the Partnership's general partner will
purchase 638,898 common units at the same price, less the underwriting
commission. The Partnership has granted the underwriters a 30-day
option to purchase an additional 1,200,000 common units to satisfy any
over-allotments.

   UBS Investment Bank and Wachovia Securities acted as joint
book-running managers of the offering and Goldman Sachs & Co., RBC
Capital Markets Corporation, Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc. and Sanders Morris Harris acted as co-managing
underwriters.

   Excluding the Underwriters' over-allotment option, the Partnership
will receive net cash proceeds from the offering (after payment of
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses), the
concurrent offering to the Partnership's general partner and the
proportionate capital contribution by the Partnership's general
partner of $185.3 million. Genesis will use the net proceeds from this
offering for general partnership purposes, which may include, among
other things, temporarily repaying a portion of the indebtedness under
its credit facility and, ultimately, funding a portion of its future
growth expenditures.

   A copy of the final prospectus supplement and related base
prospectus, meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
