Miss. Code § 53-3-15
Owners or operators of oil or gas wells shall, before connecting with any oil or gas pipe line, secure from the state oil and gas board a certificate showing compliance with the conservation laws of the state and conservation rules, regulations and orders of the board. No operator of a pipe line shall connect with any well until the owner or operator of such well shall furnish a certificate from the board that such conservation laws and such rules, regulations and orders have been complied with. This section shall not prevent a temporary connection of not more than seven days' duration with any well in order to take care of production and prevent waste until opportunity shall have been given the owner or operator of such well to secure such certificate.
The state oil and gas board shall have the power to cancel any certificate of compliance issued under the provisions of this section when it appears, after due notice and hearing, that the owner or operator of a well covered by the provisions of same has violated or is violating, in connection with the operation of said well or the production of oil or gas therefrom, any of the oil or gas conservation laws of this state or any of the rules, regulations or orders of the board promulgated thereunder. Upon notice from the board to the operator of any pipe line connected to any such oil or gas well that the certificate of compliance with reference to such well has been cancelled by the board, the operator of such pipe line shall disconnect from such well and it shall be unlawful for the operator of such pipe line to transport oil or gas therefrom until a new certificate of compliance has been issued by the board. It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any well to produce oil or gas therefrom (except as to a temporary connection as hereinabove provided), unless there is in effect a certificate of compliance covering such well.
