When you grant a portion of your royalty right to someone without granting any of the other rights, you are granting what is called a Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRI).  It does not “participate” in the ability to receive bonus payment or delay rentals, or the executive rights.  A Non-Participating Royalty Interest or NPRI allows the owner to receive a portion of the royalty payments from any oil and gas that is sold but does not give them the right to lease the associated mineral rights.  In this episode, we dive into the world of NPRI's and the difference between "floating" and "fixed" NPRI's and what you need to know if you own an NPRI or if you own mineral rights that are burdened by an NPRI.
