Mississippi Code Title 53. Oil, Gas, and Other Minerals § 53-3-159

(a) No gas-bearing sand, stratum or formation shall be subject to appropriation by eminent domain unless the condemnor shall show, to the satisfaction of the board, that such sand, stratum or formation has a greater value or utility as a natural gas or compressed air storage reservoir for the purpose of ensuring an adequate supply of natural gas or compressed air for consumers, or for the conservation of natural gas or compressed air, than for the production of the native gas which remains therein;

(b) Adequate and fair compensation for any native gas which is appropriated by eminent domain and which is otherwise capable of being commercially produced shall be included in that hereinabove provided for; and

(c) No rights or interests in underground reservoirs, strata or formations acquired for the injection, storage and withdrawal of natural gas or compressed air by a party who has eminent domain rights under Section 11-27-47, Mississippi Code of 1972, and who has obtained an order from the Oil and Gas Board under the provisions of Section 53-3-155, shall be subject to appropriation hereunder.
