Prentiss, Bassfield, Carson: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Jefferson Davis County, home of the Gwinville gas field and the Oakvale and Prentiss Cretaceous pools.
Jefferson Davis County has more wells on the books than any county in Mississippi except Lamar, and most of them are Gwinville Selma Chalk gas wells making a few Mcf a day apiece. That is a royalty base built on volume, not rate: hundreds of small checks to hundreds of families around Prentiss and Bassfield, many of them paid on units that have not been redrawn in a lifetime.
What produces here. Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board production for October 2025: 573 wells, 449,028 Mcf of gas, and 5,039 barrels of oil. Gwinville's Selma Chalk pool produced 241,675 Mcf from 318 wells, its Eutaw and Rodessa pools added about 30,000 Mcf more, and Oakvale's Hosston Harper pool made 105,209 Mcf from 2 wells. Bassfield's Hosston pools, Grange, Vintage, Carson, Holiday Creek, and South Prentiss make up the rest. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Southern Energy Operating, which carried 542 wells in the county, Will Drill Production, Black Jack Oil, Strong Rock Operating, Cypress Operating, and Pruet Production.
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.
