Non-Participating Royalty Interests – A Simple Concept with Complex Rules

I had an excellent time this week presenting to the Houston Association of Lease and Title Analysts on February 25, 2014, at the Houston Petroleum Club.  It was a great turnout, as I believe we had almost 250 attendees.  We covered the basics of NPRI’s, before diving into some of the more complex resulting rules, such as ratification, community leasing, and some complications created by Horizontal Drilling.

I’ve included a copy of my powerpoint presentation below please contact me if you’d like a copy of this presentation.  Thank you very much to HALTA for having me, and thank you to everyone that attended.  Please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email with any questions or comments.

Also, note that I’ll be publishing a follow-up article in the ALTA Magazine soon, and will also be presenting at the 29th Annual NALTA Conference in Nashville.
