Where We Buy · Mississippi · Covington County

Sell your Covington County mineral rights.

Collins, Mount Olive, Seminary: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Covington County, Cotton Valley and Hosston oil country around Collins and Seminary.

Covington County is deeper and better than its size suggests. The Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous pools around Collins and Seminary make oil at rates most of south Mississippi gave up on decades ago, and a handful of operators have kept them running. Royalties here are worth real money, and the units are worth reading closely, because a tract's decimal in the Seminary unit is not the same as its decimal in a Collins lease.

What produces here. Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board production for October 2025: 76 wells, 28,805 barrels of oil, and 115,518 Mcf of gas. The Seminary consolidated oil pool led with 12,470 barrels from 4 wells, Collins and Northeast Collins' Cotton Valley, Rodessa, and Sligo pools made about 10,000 barrels, Leaf River's Paluxy pool 4,660, and Summerland's unitized pool and Southwest Kola the rest. East Mount Olive's Eutaw gas pool produced 67,531 Mcf and South Williamsburg's Sligo and Hosston pools about 12,700. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Mosbacher Energy, Southern Energy Operating, Tellus Operating Group, Venture Oil and Gas, Formentera Operations, and Black Jack Oil.

Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Mississippi.

Questions

Straight answers for Covington County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Covington County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Covington County that ranges from legacy stripper royalties to active development, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.
Does Mississippi take a severance tax out of my royalty?
Yes. Mississippi's severance tax is 6 percent of value at the point of production on oil and on gas, with a reduced 1.3 percent rate for horizontal wells for 30 months or until payout, and 3 percent for CO2 enhanced recovery projects. It comes off before your royalty is figured.
What happened to the royalties the operator could not pay my family?
If the operator cannot find an owner, it holds the money in suspense, and after five years of dormancy it goes to the Mississippi Treasurer as unclaimed property, where it stays claimable. Part of our free title work on an inherited interest is checking suspense and the unclaimed property rolls for the family's names.
What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
