IPAA represents the companies that drill 90 percent of the nation’s oil and natural gas wells. These companies produce 82 percent of American natural gas and 68 percent of American oil. IPAA members represent the full range of producers, from small family-owned businesses, to the large independent companies that are some of the largest domestic natural gas producers.
