From East Texas, across northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas, and through central and southeastern Mississippi, the Upper Jurassic Cotton Valley Group of the Gulf Coast has long been an important source of oil and gas production. The increased use of 3D seismic is allowing geologists and geophysicists to look hard at the Cotton Valley for potential prospects from both exploration and development points of view. Cumulative production from the Cotton Valley in Mississippi as of year end 1995 exceeded 97.8 million bbl of oil and 119.3 bcf of gas. The following is a chronological list consisting of most of the Cotton Valley discoveries in Mississippi since 1990. General information on the discovery wells and field cumulative oil and gas production data is reviewed.
