Newspaper says 1123 barrels per day but check says less than 500 bopd, how can this be?

Just curious, our family received first royalty check for Newfield Ruth Ann 1H-32 in Blaine County. In July, the well completion report in NEWSOK said it was producing 1123 barrels per day but the first check said it produced less than 500. Are they required to pump the oil at full speed, or is it possible they are reducing the amount pumped out of the resrvoir for unknown reasons?
