ITEM 2.01. COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

As previously reported, on January 20, 2005, Energy Partners, Ltd. (the
"Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary EPL of Louisiana L.L.C. closed its
acquisition of oil and natural gas properties in south Louisiana (the "Acquired
Properties") from Castex Energy 1995, L.P. and Castex Energy, Inc. for an
adjusted purchase price of approximately $146.0 million in cash.

On January 26, 2005, the Company filed a current report on Form 8-K disclosing
the completion of the acquisition, but pursuant to Item 9.01(a)(4) and Item
9.01(b)(2) of Form 8-K, omitted the financial statements of the business
acquired and the pro forma financial information as it was permitted to do
because audited financial statements of the Acquired Properties were not
available at the time of the acquisition.

This Amendment No. 1 to the current report on Form 8-K filed January 26, 2005 is
being filed to include these previously omitted financial statements.

ITEM 9.01. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(a) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE BUSINESS ACQUIRED.

The audited Statement of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses of the Acquired
Properties for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the report of KPMG LLP,
independent registered public accountants, relating to such financial statement
are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

(b) PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information for the
year ended December 31, 2004 with respect to the operating data and December 31,
2004 with respect to the balance sheet data, is attached as Exhibit 99.3. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations has been
prepared assuming that the acquisition of the Acquired Properties had occurred
on January 1, 2004. This information is not necessarily indicative of the
results that actually would have been attained if the acquisition had occurred
on January 1, 2004 or that may be attained in the future. Such information
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the
Company.
