A guide for Arizona residents who own — or have inherited — mineral or royalty interests on Mississippi mature/EOR fields.
Quick answer
Arizona residents commonly own mineral and royalty interests on Mississippi mature/EOR fields — the Heidelberg, Eucutta, Tinsley, Brookhaven, Soso, Cranfield, and other Jackson Dome CO2 floods, plus the broader long-life waterflood field belt across Wayne, Jasper, Clarke, Jones, and other counties. Many Arizona-resident interests were inherited 4-5 generations deep from ancestors who held positions during the original 1940s-1960s Mississippi oil-boom leasing era.
If you live in Arizona and receive monthly royalty checks from a Mississippi operator (Denbury Onshore, Tellus, Highmark Energy, Formentera, Venture, Durango, etc.), this guide is for you.
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
