So, I noticed that FracFocus.org had posted their “latest” SQL Server backup file on 15 Aug 2016. My script checks to make sure the date in question is kosher, but it appears that the SQL Server backup file that is contained within the 15 Aug 2016 ZIP archive is the same as the one they pushed on 14 July 2016.

Translation to English: Their 15 Aug 2016 data download is the same as their 14 July 2016 download.

Could the Ground Water Protection Council and Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission please hire me to do their IT work, because in my humble opinion they sure do seem to need the help!
