The Diamond (Mosbacher) field is one of the long-tenured oil-producing fields in Mississippi. With 7 historic wells, an oldest spud date of 1986, and recent monthly production of 2,922 barrels of oil (January 2026), the field demonstrates the long-tail production profile that characterizes mature Mississippi oil operations.
Mosbacher Energy Company operates one of the two Diamond field positions in Wayne County. The Diamond field hosts two distinct operating positions (Mosbacher and Pride Energy).
The field is long-life Mississippi mature-field operation.
Mississippi's top 20 producing units (by recent monthly oil production) collectively produce approximately 237,000 barrels per month — about one-third the size of Texas's top 20 units. The Mississippi field landscape is dominated by long-life waterflood and CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, with a substantial concentration of fields fed by the Denbury Jackson Dome CO2 supply system. Wayne County is one of the more active producing counties in the state.
Mineral interests on the Diamond (Mosbacher) field typically take one of these forms:
Producing royalty interest — your tract's contribution to the field's monthly revenue, paid by the operator
Non-producing mineral interest — fee mineral ownership in a tract currently outside active producing zones
Overriding royalty interest (ORRI) — a royalty carved out of a working interest
Non-participating royalty interest (NPRI) — a royalty interest with no leasing or development rights
Many Diamond (Mosbacher) field interests are inherited multiple generations deep, with original lease bonus paid in the 1940s-1960s era. Current Mississippi mineral owners frequently include heirs spread across multiple states.
Direct buyers value Diamond (Mosbacher) field mineral interests using a discounted cash flow approach with these key inputs:
Decline rate — typically 3-8% annual on long-life Mississippi waterflood / EOR fields
Remaining reserve life — often 15-30+ years on actively-maintained EOR units
Operator quality — long-tenured Mississippi EOR operators typically deliver predictable production
CO2 supply constraint — for Jackson Dome-supplied CO2 floods, operator-side CO2 supply is the binding constraint on EOR economics; this affects long-term reserve life projections
Discount rate — typically 9-13% for stable Mississippi unitized cash flows
