Where We Buy · Mississippi · Franklin County

Sell your Franklin County mineral rights.

Meadville, Bude, Roxie: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Franklin County, Wilcox and Lower Tuscaloosa stripper country south of Natchez.

Franklin County is small-operator Wilcox country: fields named for creeks and churches, one or two wells each, run by companies with a pumper and a pickup. Nobody is getting rich on a Franklin County royalty, but the checks have come for decades, and a surprising number of them are going to the wrong address or to an estate that was never opened.

What produces here. Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board production for October 2025: 86 wells, 10,407 barrels of oil, and 356 Mcf of gas. Roxie's Lower Tuscaloosa and Benbrook pools led with about 968 barrels, followed by Clear Springs, Willis Branch, Luxor, Sassafras, Locust Hill, North Freewoods, Northeast Freewoods, Richardson Creek, and Oldenburg, almost all of it Wilcox sand. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Black Jack Oil, Kaiser Operating, Remora Operating, Durango Operating, Stroud Petroleum, Lahoma Operating, Miss-Lou Operating, and Wilcox Energy Company.

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 Franklin County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Franklin County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Franklin 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.
The operator is paying me late. What does Mississippi law say?
Under Miss. Code 53-3-39, royalties are due within 120 days after the first sale from a well, and after that the operator owes interest at the greater of 8 percent or 2 points over the federal discount rate. If a check stops, the first step is a written demand to the operator, and we will help you draft it whether or not you sell.
My Mississippi minerals came through an estate. What clears the title?
Mississippi has no dormant mineral act, so an inherited fraction does not lapse for lack of use, but the operator will not pay it until the record shows who owns it. What clears inherited title is the probate if there was a will, or a chancery court determination of heirship under Miss. Code 91-1-27 if there was not. We read the chain and tell you what is missing before any sale, free.
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.
