overriding royalty

A share of either production or revenue from production (free of the costs of production) carved out of a lessee’s interest under an oil-and-gas lease.

• Overriding-royalty interests are often used to compensate those who have helped structure a drilling venture. An overriding-royalty interest ends when the underlying lease terminates. [Cases: Mines and Minerals 74. C.J.S. Mines and Minerals § 308.]
