Where We Buy · Mississippi · Monroe County

Sell your Monroe County mineral rights.

Aberdeen, Amory, Nettleton: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Monroe County, Black Warrior Basin gas country in the Carter and Lewis sands.

Monroe County is the Mississippi side of the Black Warrior Basin, and that makes it a gas county of a different kind from the Jurassic wells down south: shallow Paleozoic sands, modest volumes, and a long tail. The Corinne field around Aberdeen carries more than a hundred wells on the books. The royalties are small, but the gas has outlasted several operators, and the title under it is older than the wells.

What produces here. Mississippi State Oil and Gas Board production for October 2025: 66 wells, 38,734 Mcf of gas, and 61 barrels of oil. Nearly all of the gas is the Corinne field's Carter, Lewis, Millerella, Sanders, and Pennsylvanian pools, where Dallas Production Company carried 105 wells on the books, 48 of them producing. Maple Branch and Buttahatchie River made the oil from the Mississippian Lewis sand. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Dallas Production Company, Pruet Production, Black Snake Petroleum, Case Energy, Missala, and Hughes Eastern.

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 Monroe County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Monroe County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Monroe County that ranges from legacy gas 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.
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.
