Beginning on November 12, we’re changing how often we publish satellite imagery for Hyperion, as a consequence of streamlining some internal processes.  Our data content isn't changing.

What’s changing

We've already moved from our old 3-day batch reviews to continuous review. Every wellpad is evaluated as new imagery and data come in, rather than on a fixed cycle. This lets us reflect new activity in the data sooner.  All this changes is how often we publish that data.

What this means for your data

Once this change takes effect, our core satellite-derived datasets and the products built on them (rigs, frac crews, completions and directly-related data) will update Monday through Friday.  The Short-Term Forecast will be revised on Mondays and Thursdays, drawing on the more frequently updated data underneath it.

Getting and evaluating imagery still takes time.  We’ll now date each change to when we first detected it, rather than the batch day. When later imagery confirms activity, we may update the previous few days to reflect when it began. You may see more revisions to recent days than before. This is expected, and it makes the historical record more accurate. 

What’s not changing

• How you access the data. API endpoints, delivery methods and formats all stay the same.
• Data sources that aren’t satellite-based. Pipeline, demand and other non-imagery datasets keep their current schedules.
• Accuracy. We still review every wellpad using both visual and radar imagery as we have always done - this is just a shift to a continuous publication process.
