An overriding royalty interest is the right to receive revenue from the production of oil and gas from a well. The overriding royalty is carved out of the lessee's (operator's) working interest and entitles its owner to a fraction of production.
An overriding royalty interest generally entitles the owner of the interest to a specified share of the oil and gas produced under the terms of the lease. In Texas and in many other oil-producing states, overriding royalty interests are generally treated as interests in real estate.

A royalty interest is an interest retained in the output of a property when the owner of mineral rights enters into a lease agreement. A royalty interest entitles the mineral rights owner to receive a portion of the minerals produced or a portion of the gross revenue from sold production.
The royalty mineral owner retains ownership of the interest after production stops. Holders of overriding royalty interests have no ownership rights to the minerals under the ground but a non-possessory undivided interest.
