A non participating interest is an interest in oil and gas that lacks the right to join in the execution of oil and gas leases and the right to develop.  A non participating interest can be either a royalty interest or a mineral interest, with the primary difference being that the latter may share in bonus and delay rental, while the former shares in royalty only.
