                          ABOUT ENERGY PARTNERS, LTD.

       We are an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production
company focused on the shallow to moderate depth waters of the Gulf of Mexico
Shelf. We concentrate on the Gulf of Mexico Shelf region because that area
provides us with favorable geologic and economic conditions, including multiple
reservoir formations, regional economies of scale, extensive infrastructure and
comprehensive geologic databases. We believe that this region offers a balanced
and expansive array of existing and prospective exploration, exploitation and
development opportunities in both established productive horizons and deeper
geologic formations. As of December 31, 2002, we had estimated proved reserves
of approximately 127.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 26.4 million
barrels of oil, or an aggregate of approximately 47.5 million barrels of oil
equivalent, with a present value of estimated pre-tax future net cash flows of
$608.3 million, and of estimated after-tax future net cash flows of $476.9
million based upon year-end 2002 prices and a discount rate of 10%.

       Since our incorporation in January 1998 by Richard A. Bachmann, our
founder, chairman, president and chief executive officer, we have assembled a
team of geoscientists and management professionals with considerable
region-specific geological, geophysical, technical and operational experience.
We have grown through a combination of exploration, exploitation and development
drilling and multi-year, multi-well drill-to-earn programs, as well as strategic
acquisitions of mature oil and natural gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf
area, and in particular the acquisition of Hall-Houston Oil Company ("Hall-
Houston") in early 2002.

       Our strategy is to grow our reserves and production through a balanced
investment program including low risk exploitation and development activities in
and around our existing fields and moderate risk exploration activities in the
shallow to moderate depth waters of the central region of the Gulf of Mexico
Shelf. A limited amount of our exploration budget each year will be allocated to
higher risk, higher potential exploration prospects in this region.

       Our principal executive offices are located at 201 St. Charles Avenue,
Suite 3400, New Orleans, Louisiana 70170. Our telephone number is (504)
569-1875. We also maintain a web site at www.eplweb.com which contains
information about us, including links to our annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and related
amendments. Our web site and the information contained in it and connected to it
shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or
in the accompanying prospectus.

                  COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

       TRACK RECORD OF RESERVE AND PRODUCTION GROWTH.  Over the past three
years, from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2002, we have increased our
estimated year-end proved reserves from 5.9 Mmboe to 47.5 Mmboe and increased
our annual average daily production from 1,431 Boe to 17,173 Boe. This growth
has been a result of our successful drilling activities and acquisitions of
producing properties, including those of Hall-Houston.

       LARGE PROSPECT INVENTORY AND HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL DRILLING
ACTIVITIES.  As of June 30, 2003, we had more than 80 exploratory prospects and
leads identified on our existing acreage. During 2002, we drilled 15 prospects
and achieved an 80% success rate for these exploratory wells. We currently have
budgeted to drill at least 24 prospects in 2003. As of October 31, 2003, we had
drilled wells on eleven of these prospects, nine of which resulted in
discoveries.

       EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICAL TEAMS.  Led by Richard A. Bachmann,
our senior management and technical teams have extensive experience. As of June
30, 2003, our senior management team had an average of 25 years of oil and
natural gas industry experience and beneficially owned 16% of our common stock.
Our technical team at June 30, 2003 included 25 geoscientists and engineers with
an average of 22 years of region specific experience in their technical fields.

                                       S-3


       GULF OF MEXICO SHELF FOCUS.  By focusing on the Gulf of Mexico Shelf
region, primarily in the waters offshore from Louisiana and Texas, we have been
able to accumulate substantial geological and reservoir data and operating
experience, which we believe provides us with a significant competitive
advantage. We also believe that this region's extensive infrastructure and
favorable geologic conditions with multiple known oil and natural gas producing
reservoirs will allow us to achieve attractive returns on our investments.

       RISK-BALANCED EXPLORATION, EXPLOITATION AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.  We
intend to allocate approximately 65% of our capital budget on an annual basis to
low risk exploitation and development activities, approximately 25% to moderate
risk exploration opportunities and approximately 10% to higher risk, higher
potential exploration opportunities. Our capital budget does not include
acquisitions.

       DISCIPLINED ACQUISITION STRATEGY.  Many integrated and large independent
energy companies are currently redirecting human and financial resources away
from the Gulf of Mexico Shelf area to the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and other
areas around the world that have more material growth potential relative to
their large existing asset bases. We believe this trend will continue and will
provide us with opportunities to acquire Gulf of Mexico Shelf assets at
attractive rates of return. Using the expertise of our senior management team,
we have developed and refined an acquisition program designed to evaluate these
opportunities. Our engineers and geoscientists who manage our core properties
use their expertise and experience on the Gulf of Mexico Shelf to target
attractive acquisition opportunities. Following an acquisition, our technical
staff seeks to enhance the value of new assets through our proven development
and exploitation program.

       CONSERVATIVE FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.  We believe the
maintenance of a conservative financial structure will position us to capitalize
on opportunities as we identify them. We use a number of approaches to limit our
financial risk. First, we strive to limit annual capital spending for
exploration, exploitation and development activities to discretionary cash flow
from operations, which we define as operating cash flow before changes in
working capital plus total exploration expenditures. We typically only use our
bank credit facility to balance working capital fluctuations and to support
acquisition activities. Second, we set conservative guidelines to limit total
leverage using a number of metrics to gauge appropriate debt levels, including
our debt to total capitalization ratio, cash flow coverage ratios and debt per
Boe of proved reserves. Finally, we engage in an active commodity price hedging
program.

       OPERATIONAL CONTROL.  We seek to retain operatorship of the majority of
our properties. Operatorship provides us with the opportunity to exercise
greater control over the cost, timing and nature of our exploration,
exploitation and development activities as well as to influence the timing and
cost of plugging and abandonment activities. As of June 30, 2003, we operated
approximately 89% of our production.

                  OUR PRINCIPAL OIL AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES

       At March 31, 2003, we had interests in 21 producing fields and 4 fields
under development, all of which are located in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf region.
These fields fall into three focus areas which we identify as our Eastern,
Central and Western areas. The Eastern area is comprised of two fields,
including the East Bay field. The Central area is comprised of five fields,
three of which are contiguous and together cover most of the Bay Marchand salt
dome. The Western area is comprised of 14 producing fields and 4 under
development consisting primarily of those acquired in the Hall-Houston
acquisition.

    beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock owned by Evercore.
    Additionally, Mr. Hiltz acquired 150,000 shares of our common stock prior to
    joining Evercore and prior to Evercore's investment in us. Mr. Hiltz sold
    30,000 of these shares in our April 2003 stock offering. Evercore disclaims
    beneficial ownership of these shares of common stock owned by Mr. Hiltz.

       The underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the shares sold under the
underwriting agreement if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter
defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of
the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement
may be terminated.

       We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or
to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of
those liabilities.

       The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as
and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by
their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions
contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters
of officer's certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right
to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole
or in part.

       A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites
maintained by one or more of the underwriters or selling group members, if any,
participating in the offering. The representatives may agree to allocate a
number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their
online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by
the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions
on the same basis as other allocations.

COMMISSIONS AND DISCOUNTS

       The representatives have advised us and the selling stockholders that the
underwriters propose initially to offer the shares to the public at the initial
public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to
dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $.35 per share. The
underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of
$.10 per share to other dealers. After the initial public offering, the public
offering price, concession and discount may be changed.

       The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting
discount and proceeds to the selling stockholders.



                                                           PER SHARE      TOTAL

       The expenses of the offering, not including the underwriting discount,
are estimated at $150,000 and are payable by us.

NO SALES OF SIMILAR SECURITIES

       We, Energy Income Fund, L.P. and each of our directors who is an
affiliate of a selling stockholder have agreed, with exceptions, not to sell or
transfer any common stock for 30 days after the date of this prospectus
supplement without first obtaining the written consent of Merrill Lynch.
Specifically, we and these other individuals and entity have agreed not to
directly or indirectly

       -     offer, pledge, sell or contract to sell any common stock,

       -     sell any option or contract to purchase any common stock,

       -     purchase any option or contract to sell any common stock,

       -     grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of any common
             stock,

       -     lend or otherwise dispose of or transfer any common stock,

       -     request or demand that we file a registration statement related to
             the common stock, or

       -     enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or
             in part, the economic consequence of ownership of any common stock
             whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery
             of shares or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

       This lockup provision applies to common stock and to securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with common
stock. It also applies to common stock owned now or, in some cases, acquired
later by the person executing the agreement or for which the person executing
the agreement later acquires the power of disposition.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING

       The shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
"EPL."

PRICE STABILIZATION AND SHORT POSITIONS

       Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit
underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our
common stock. However, the representatives may engage in transactions that
stabilize the price of common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or
maintain that price.

       If the underwriters create a short position in the common stock in
connection with the offering, i.e., if they sell more shares than are listed on
the cover of this prospectus, the representatives may reduce that short position
by purchasing shares in the open market. Purchases of the common stock to
stabilize its price or to reduce a short position may cause the price of the
common stock to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases.

       Neither we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or
prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of the common stock. In addition, neither
we nor any of the underwriters makes any representation that the representatives
or the lead managers will engage in these transactions or that these
transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

OTHER RELATIONSHIPS

       From time to time some of the underwriters have provided investment
banking and other advisory services to us for which they have received customary
compensation. Merrill Lynch & Co., Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and Jefferies
& Company, Inc. were among the underwriters of our April 2003 common stock
offering and Merrill Lynch & Co. and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC were among
the initial
                                       S-9


purchasers of our August 2003 senior unsecured notes and received customary
commissions for their services. Credit Suisse First Boston LLC was also the
underwriter for the August 2003 common stock offering by the selling
stockholders.

                                 LEGAL MATTERS

       Certain legal matters with respect to the common stock offered hereby
will be passed upon by Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, New York, New York. Simpson
Thacher & Bartlett LLP, New York, New York will act as counsel to the selling
stockholders. Certain legal matters in connection with this offering will be
passed upon for the underwriter by Baker Botts L.L.P., Houston, Texas. Baker
Botts L.L.P. acted as counsel to Evercore in connection with its $60 million
investment in our company in 1999, and served as our Texas local counsel in
connection with the Hall-Houston acquisition.

                        4,544,572 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

                             ----------------------

       Evercore Capital Partners L.P. and certain of its affiliates, the selling
securityholders, are offering up to 4,544,572 shares of our common stock. The
selling securityholders currently own 4,544,572 shares, or 14.1% of our common
stock. These selling securityholders may include "affiliates," as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

       We expect that sales made pursuant to this prospectus will be made:

       -     in broker's transactions;

       -     in transactions directly with market makers; or

       -     in negotiated sales or otherwise.

       The selling securityholders will determine when they will sell their
shares, and in all cases they will sell their shares at the prevailing market
prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices negotiated at
the time of the sale. We will not receive any proceeds from these sales.

       The brokers and dealers the selling securityholders utilize in selling
these shares may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the sellers or purchasers of the shares. Any
compensation may exceed customary commissions. The selling securityholders and
the brokers and dealers they utilize may be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of the securities laws, and any commissions received and any profits
realized by them upon the sale of shares may be considered to be underwriting
compensation.

       Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "EPL." The last reported sale price on October 20, 2003 was $11.62 per
share.

                                  RISK FACTORS

       You should consider carefully the following factors, as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the factors below, please
refer to the disclosure contained in our latest annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Please read "Items 1 & 2. Business and

  THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY SALES OF
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKETS.

       Our largest stockholders, Evercore Capital Partners L.P. and affiliates
("Evercore"), Energy Income Fund, L.P. and Richard A. Bachmann, our chairman,
president and chief executive officer, could sell a substantial number of shares
of our common stock in the public market, either pursuant to exemptions afforded
to affiliates under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act") or pursuant to an effective registration statement. Evercore
and Energy Income Fund, L.P. together sold approximately 3,600,000 shares in a
public offering in April 2003 and Evercore sold an additional 2,500,000 shares
in a public offering in August 2003 and may sell all of its remaining 4,544,572
shares pursuant to this prospectus. Affiliates may sell under Rule 144 of the
Securities Act the greater of 1% of the number of shares of common stock then
outstanding and the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a
required notice of such sale. Such sales by our largest stockholders, sales by
other securityholders or the perception that such sales might occur, could have
a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock or could impair our
ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities.

       Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of Hall-Houston Oil
Company ("Hall-Houston"), we issued warrants and Series D exchangeable
convertible preferred stock that as of September 30, 2003 can be exchanged or
exercised for a total of up to approximately 8,290,000 shares of our common
stock. All of the common stock underlying the warrants and Series D preferred
stock are freely tradable upon resale pursuant to a prospectus filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Also in connection with our acquisition of
Hall-Houston, we entered into an earnout agreement which, depending on the
performance of the oil and natural gas properties subject to the agreement,
could obligate us to issue up to $40,000,000 market value of our common stock to
the participants in the agreement, and such common stock is required to be
publicly registered under the agreement.

  THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK HAS EXPERIENCED SUBSTANTIAL VOLATILITY
AND MAY CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE.

       Since our initial public offering in November 2000 at a price of $15.00
per share, the trading price for our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange
has declined to $11.62 as of October 20, 2003. The market price of our common
stock may not exceed or even remain at current levels. The following factors may
have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:

       -     lack of success in our drilling activities, including exploratory
             drilling;

       -     fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices;

       -     market conditions for oil and natural gas stocks;

       -     market conditions generally;

       -     governmental regulation; and

       -     fluctuations in our operating results.

                                        1


  CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDER.

       Our principal stockholder, Evercore Capital Partners L.P., together with
its affiliates ("Evercore"), beneficially owns approximately 14.1% of our
outstanding shares of common stock and Evercore is entitled to nominate two of
our nine directors. Evercore's approval is required to take a number of
corporate actions, including making acquisitions, selling assets, adopting or
amending capital and operating budgets, incurring indebtedness, increasing
compensation, issuing our stock, declaring dividends, engaging in hedging
transactions and entering joint ventures. As a result, Evercore is in a position
to control or influence substantially the manner in which our business is
operated and the outcome of stockholder votes on the election of directors and
other matters. Our Stockholder Agreement, and Evercore's right to nominate two
of our nine directors and approve such actions, terminates when Evercore and its
affiliates own less than 10% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted
basis.

  PROVISIONS IN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AND UNDER DELAWARE LAW COULD DELAY
OR PREVENT A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE
MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

       The existence of some provisions in our organizational documents and
under Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of our company,
which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The
provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that could delay or
prevent an unsolicited change in control of our company include:

       -     the board of directors' ability to issue shares of preferred stock
             and determine the terms of the preferred stock without
             securityholder approval; and

       -     a prohibition on the right of securityholders to call meetings and
             a limitation on the right of securityholders to act by written
             consent and to present proposals or make nominations at
             securityholder meetings.

       In addition, Delaware law imposes some restrictions on mergers and other
business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock. Evercore is generally exempted from these provisions.

                                  OUR COMPANY

       We are an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production
company focused on the shallow to moderate depth waters of the Gulf of Mexico
Shelf. We concentrate on the Gulf of Mexico Shelf region because that area
provides us with favorable geologic and economic conditions, including multiple
reservoir formations, regional economies of scale, extensive infrastructure and
comprehensive geologic databases. We believe that this region offers a balanced
and expansive array of existing and prospective exploration, exploitation and
development opportunities in both established productive horizons and deeper
geologic formations. As of December 31, 2002, we had estimated proved reserves
of approximately 127.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 26.4 million
barrels of oil, or an aggregate of approximately 47.5 million barrels of oil
equivalent, with a present value of estimated pre-tax future net cash flows of
$608.3 million, and of estimated after-tax future net cash flows of $476.9
million based upon year-end 2002 prices and a discount rate of 10%.

       Since our incorporation in January 1998 by Richard A. Bachmann, our
founder, chairman, president and chief executive officer, we have assembled a
team of geoscientists and management professionals with considerable
region-specific geological, geophysical, technical and operational experience.
We have grown through a combination of exploration, exploitation and development
drilling and multi-year, multi-well drill-to-earn programs, as well as strategic
acquisitions of mature oil and natural gas fields in the Gulf of Mexico Shelf
area, and in particular the acquisition of Hall-Houston in early 2002.

       Our strategy is to grow our reserves and production through a balanced
investment program including low risk exploitation and development activities in
and around our existing fields and moderate risk exploration activities in the
shallow to moderate depth waters of the central region of the Gulf of Mexico
Shelf. A limited amount of our exploration budget each year will be allocated to
higher risk, higher potential exploration prospects in this region.

       Our principal executive offices are located at 201 St. Charles Avenue,
Suite 3400, New Orleans, Louisiana 70170. Our telephone number is (504)
569-1875. We also maintain a web site at www.eplweb.com which contains
information about us, including links to our annual report on Form 10-K,
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and related
amendments. Our web site and the information contained in it and connected to it
shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

       We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offer and sale of the
shares of our common stock by the selling securityholders.

                            SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

       We have filed a registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a
part, in order to permit the selling securityholders to resell to the public up
to 4,544,572 shares of our common stock.

       The following table sets forth certain information as of September 30,
2003 regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by each selling
securityholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities
and Exchange Commission rules and generally includes voting or investment power
with respect to securities. Shares of our common stock that are issuable upon
the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock or
exercise of other purchase rights are treated as outstanding for purposes of
computing such selling securityholder's ownership, to the extent exercisable or
convertible within sixty days of the date of this prospectus, but are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the ownership of any other selling
securityholder.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

       The selling securityholders have not advised us of any specific plan for
distribution of the shares offered hereby, but it is anticipated that the shares
will be sold from time to time by the selling securityholders or by permitted
pledgees, donees, transferees or other permitted successors in interest. Such
sales by the selling securityholders may be made in any of the following
manners:

       -     on the New York Stock Exchange in transactions pursuant to and in
             accordance with the rules of such exchange;

       -     in the over-the-counter market;

       -     in public or privately negotiated transactions;

       -     in transactions involving principals or brokers;

       -     in a combination of such methods of sale; or

       -     any other lawful methods.

       Although sales of the shares are, in general, expected to be made at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale, the shares may also be sold at
prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, which
may differ considerably.

       In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, each of the selling
securityholders and any broker-dealers who sell the shares for the selling
securityholders may be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act,
and any profits realized by such selling securityholders and the compensation of
such broker-dealers may be underwriting discounts and commissions.

       Sales through brokers may be made by any method of trading authorized by
any stock exchange or market on which the shares may be listed, including block
trading in negotiated transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, such brokers
may act as dealers by purchasing any or all of the shares covered by this
prospectus, either as agents for others or as principals for their own accounts,
and reselling such shares pursuant to this prospectus. The selling
securityholders may effect such transactions directly, or indirectly through
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents acting on their behalf. In connection
with such sales, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts, any or all of which
might be in excess of customary amounts.

       Each of the selling securityholders is acting independently of us in
making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of
shares. We have not been advised of any definitive selling arrangement at the
date of this prospectus between any selling securityholder and any broker-dealer
or agent.

       To the extent required, the names of any agents, broker-dealers or
underwriters and applicable commissions, concessions, allowances or discounts,
and any other required information with respect to any particular offer of the
shares by the selling securityholders, will be set forth in a prospectus
supplement.

       The expenses of preparing and filing this prospectus and the related
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be paid
entirely by us. Shares of common stock covered by this prospectus also may
qualify to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather than
pursuant to this prospectus. The selling securityholders have been advised that
they are subject to the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

       Neither we nor the selling securityholders can estimate at the present
time the amount of commissions or discounts, if any, that will be paid by the
selling securityholders on account of their sales of the shares from time to
time.

                                        5


       The aggregate maximum compensation that members of the NASD or
independent broker-dealers will receive in connection with the sale of any
securities pursuant to this prospectus and the registration statement of which
it forms a part will not be greater than 8% of the gross proceeds of such sale.
