I own a non-Participating Royalty Deed that does not have a term clause. Does the NPRD royalty deed remain in effect forever? Another question: if the tract is not Held By Production and then new leases are taken, the NPRI to new leases can increase or decrease my royalty interest based on a new lease royalty amount. I do understand I will not get any bonus consideration, received any bonus considerations other than royalty payments.
Also, how does a lease or a ratification of lease change your decimal interest if the minerals are under, say, tract A and not tract B? I do not own any interest in tract B. Example: 10 acres in tract A, none in tract B. I assume that my decimal interest will be cut in half. The ratification lease document that I have not signed, the cover letter with ratification document states if I do not ratify the lease my cash flow from existing well in tract A will be suspended.
Again, tract A is producing; tract B is not currently Held By Production. As I said, I own an NPRD in tract A. I am not sure if the unit has yet to be created. My guess is the tracts will consist of two sections for a horizontal well. I am not sure if anyone has permitted a well in tract B. Can anyone advise me should I ratify or not? Again, at this time my royalty proceeds have not been suspended. I assume when the unit is approved by the Railroad Commission then my interest will be diluted as in my example by half.

It would be helpful if you say which state as the answer may differ
