The dominant Jurassic-age oil-bearing carbonate across the Mississippi Salt Basin
Quick answer
The Smackover Formation is a Jurassic-age (Oxfordian) carbonate that is the dominant oil-bearing reservoir across the Mississippi Salt Basin. The Smackover produces oil and gas from depths typically 8,000-15,000+ ft TVD across south Mississippi. The formation is also the source rock for many shallower Mississippi fields. Major Mississippi fields producing from Smackover include selected positions in Wayne, Jasper, Clarke, Jones, Lincoln, Lamar, and Adams counties.
Mineral interests on Smackover Formation (Mississippi)-producing acreage are typically inherited multiple generations deep. The valuation framework depends on the specific reservoir's depth, decline rate, and the operator's maintenance posture. For broader context see our Mississippi CO2 Floods Overview.
