# Diamond Field (Mosbacher) Unit Mineral Rights — Wayne County, Mississippi

**TL;DR:** The Diamond (Mosbacher) field in Wayne County, Mississippi, operated by Mosbacher Energy Company, is a mature oil-producing unit with 7 historic wells dating back to 1986 and recent monthly production of 2,922 barrels (January 2026).

## Key Takeaways

- **Long-tenured production**: 7 historic wells with oldest spud in 1986 — over 40 years of continuous oil production
- **Recent monthly output**: 2,922 barrels of oil reported for January 2026
- **Operator**: Mosbacher Energy Company manages one of two distinct operating positions in the Diamond field
- **Mississippi context**: Top 20 Mississippi producing units collectively produce ~237,000 bbl/month — approximately one-third the volume of Texas's top 20 units
- **Mature-field profile**: Characterized by long-life waterflood and CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, many fed by the Denbury Jackson Dome CO2 supply system
- **Inherited ownership**: Many interests are inherited multiple generations deep, with original lease bonuses often paid during the 1940s-1960s
- **Valuation drivers**: Decline rates typically 3-8% annually; remaining reserve life often 15-30+ years on actively maintained EOR units; discount rates typically 9-13%
- **CO2 supply constraint**: For Jackson Dome-supplied CO2 floods, operator-side CO2 availability is the binding constraint on EOR economics and long-term reserve life

**Field Overview**: The Diamond (Mosbacher) field is operated by Mosbacher Energy Company in Wayne County, Mississippi, with 7 historic wells, the oldest spudded in 1986, and recent monthly production of 2,922 barrels of oil (January 2026).

**Mississippi Production Context**: Mississippi's top 20 producing units collectively produce approximately 237,000 barrels per month — about one-third the size of Texas's top 20 units. The state's production is dominated by long-life waterflood and CO2 EOR operations, with substantial concentration of fields fed by the Denbury Jackson Dome CO2 supply system.

**Mineral Interest Profile**: Mineral interests on the field typically include producing royalty interests (tract's contribution to monthly revenue), non-producing mineral interests (fee mineral ownership currently outside active producing zones), overriding royalty interests (ORRI), and non-participating royalty interests (NPRI). Many interests are inherited across multiple generations, with original lease bonuses paid in the 1940s-1960s era.

**Valuation Considerations**: Direct buyers use discounted cash flow analysis with key inputs including decline rates (typically 3-8% annually on long-life Mississippi waterflood/EOR fields), remaining reserve life (often 15-30+ years on actively maintained EOR units), operator quality, CO2 supply constraints for Jackson Dome-supplied floods, and discount rates (typically 9-13% for stable Mississippi unitized cash flows).

**Sales Process**: Buckhead Energy handles the entire transaction remotely for out-of-state owners: free written offer by email, deed signed before a notary in the owner's state, recorded with Wayne County clerk, and proceeds wired the day of recording.
