FAQ
A Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRI) is an interest in oil and gas production which is created from the mineral estate.The owner of a NPRI has fewer rights than does the 'regular' royalty owner, who participates in at least one, if not all, of the aforementioned activities.
Oil and gas lease is an agreement between a mineral owner (lessor) and a company (lessee) in which the owner grants the company the right to explore, drill and produce oil, gas, and other minerals below the surface of the earth.
To ratify a lease means that the landowner and oil & gas producer, as current lessor and lessee of the land, agree (or re-agree) to the terms of the existing lease.
A non-executive mineral interest means the owner of the mineral interest has ceded their right to lease the interest. The non-executive mineral owner still reserves the right to receive their share of any bonus or royalty paid in relation to the involved mineral interest lease as granted by the holder.
I am talking about the concept known as executive rights. The executive right, in the context of mineral ownership, is the actual right to negotiate and enter into a mineral lease agreement. This usually lies with the ownership of the minerals, but not always.
Not necessarily. Where your royalty is based on volume of production and your lease is for a period of years and as much longer as oil and gas is produced, or similar language is contained in your lease, your lease may not automatically expire at the end of its primary term.
An executive right is the right to execute oil and gas leases.The sticks that are associated with mineral interests are: the right or lease (the executive right), the right to receive bonus payments, the right to delay rentals, and the right to receive royalties.
When it comes to mineral rights, the standard admonition has long been consistent and emphatic: Avoid selling them. After all, simply owning mineral rights costs you nothing. There are no liability risks, and in most cases, taxes are assessed only on properties that are actively producing oil or gas.
To ratify a lease means that the landowner and oil & gas producer, as current lessor and lessee of the land, agree (or re-agree) to the terms of the existing lease.In all likelihood, the lessee (usually the current producer) believes that you have legitimate grounds to break the existing lease.
