that is correct if: the spacing is a 1280 unit including sec.s 14 & 23. your statement implies that you are not recieving royalties. if you would give the township and range, there is probably someone on here who could verify the spacing. lots of areas have mixed (mixed- up ?) spacing including 640's, 960's or 1280's.
