Laurel, Ellisville, Moselle: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Jones County, in the south Mississippi oil belt.
Jones County is the second-largest oil county in Mississippi and one of the few where operators are still drilling new vertical wells into old fields. Laurel's royalty owners are a large and scattered group, and most have never had anyone show them the arithmetic on what they own.
What produces here. Jones County's 355 wells produced 141,307 barrels of oil and 104 million cubic feet of gas in October 2025 from Ovett, Laurel, Gitano, Glade Crossing, Parker Creek, and Reedy Creek. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Venture Oil and Gas, Acacia Operating, Formentera Operations, Pruet Production, and P.O.&G. Operating. The county still sees new wells: Venture Oil and Gas completed the Hamby 33-12 No. 3 in the Ovett field in October 2025 at about 70 barrels a day.
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.

County totals. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-11-02. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer.
