Should production volume per SONRIS equal paid volume per royalty payment?

I've just received my first royalty check from Chesapeake on a well drilled last October. Having read about some problems other owners have had with Chesapeake, I looked at the remittance advice details pretty carefully. One thing I noted is that the monthly volume on which royalties are being paid is consistently 5.18% less than the production volume on SONRIS Lite. Is there some legitimate reason for these differences?

I noticed that some of have TVDs of several hundred feet shallower.  I guess these are the Bossier completions?

 

I had always been under the impression that it would take a separate well to produce the reserves of the Bossier shale, and thus, the most likely and pleasant scenario would be to have up to 8 wells to the Haynesville and 8 to the Bossier shale.  Am I wrong?

Ben, you are correct.  Sections with both formations could have 10 to 16 wells depending upon the well spacing chosen by the operator for development.

A good example of this is S9 T9N R12W in Sabine Parish.  All 16 possible wells (HA and BO) are drilled or partially drilled.
