Sublease
1) A lease under which the lessor is the lessee of a prior lease of the same property. The sublease may be different in terms from the original lease but cannot contain a greater interest. 2) In Leasable Minerals - means a transfer of a non-record title interest in a lease, i.e., a transfer of operating rights is normally a sublease and also is a subsidiary arrangement between the lessee (sublessor) and sublessee, but a sublease does not include a transfer of a purely financial interest, such as overriding royalty interest or payment out of production, nor does it affect the relationship imposed by a lease between the lessee(s) and the United States (43 CFR 3100.0-5(e)).
