The Oil and Gas Lease, Part II: The Royalty Clause in an Oil and Gas Lease (May 2023)
In Texas, the calculation of the royalty obligation created under an oil and gas lease is determined by looking at the specific language contained in the royalty clause. Royalty terms in the lease such as "market value at the well" or "amount realized" establish how the royalty payor must measure and calculate royalty, and what post-production costs can be allocated to the lessor interest. This presentation reviews some of the principal phrases used to describe such obligations and how the Texas courts have interpreted them, and examines how that same language has been interpreted differently in other jurisdictions. It analyzes the impact of division and transfer orders and royalty payment statutes on royalty obligations contained in the lease.
