# Clarke County Mississippi Mineral Rights Guide

**TL;DR:** Clarke County, Mississippi hosts three of the state's top-20 mature-field producing positions—Pachuta Creek, Junction City, and Davis—operated by small-to-mid private operators. These waterflood/mature-field environments deliver predictable, long-tail royalty income over 30+ years. Most mineral interests are inherited from leases originally signed in the 1940s-1960s, with many out-of-state heirs receiving small, consistent monthly checks for decades.

## Key Takeaways

- **Three top-20 mature fields:** Pachuta Creek (7,441 bbl/month), Junction City (1,771 bbl/month), and Davis (1,643 bbl/month) as of January 2026
- **Long-life production environment:** Waterflood and mature-field operations without significant CO2 EOR involvement, typical production tails extend 30+ years
- **Multi-generational ownership common:** Most mineral interests were originally leased in the 1940s-1960s era and have been inherited through multiple generations
- **Predictable royalty income:** Clarke County interests generate stable, small monthly royalty checks over many decades rather than volatile high-production phases
- **Remote sale capability:** Out-of-state owners can complete the entire sale process remotely—written offer by email, deed notarized in their home state, recorded with Clarke County clerk, proceeds wired same day
- **Three different operators:** Each major field is operated by a different private company (Petco Energy Corp, Petes Pumping & Well Service, Formentera Operations LLC)
- **Buckhead Energy purchases:** Direct buyer offers free written valuations with no obligation or fees for Clarke County mineral rights and royalty interests
- **No legal/tax advice provided:** Owners should consult qualified professionals before making decisions about their mineral interests
