A little history:
The first commercial oil field in Mississippi was discovered near the small town of Tinsley in Yazoo County, in 1939, and nearly 500 wells have been drilled on and around the Tinsley structure since that time. Cumulative oil production from the Upper Cretaceous Woodruff, Perry, Stevens, Lammons, McGraw, and Brumfield sandstones was 195,848,466 bbl through Dec.31, 1974. During Oct.1974, daily production from 167 wells was 6,757 bbl of oil, and 57 wells injected 50,493 bbl of water per day into 5 different waterflood projects. The first full-scale waterflood was begun at Tinsley field in 1968
Mississippi Little Creek Field (Lincoln and Pike Counties) - Discovered in 1958, the Little Creek Field has produced in excess of 36 MMBbl of oil
