   The role that independent oil and gas producers play in Texas energy continues to increase, according to a new study from the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers (TAEP). Last year, independents produced 92 percent of all in-state crude oil, and 88 percent of all Texas natural gas, up from 90 percent and 86 percent, respectively, in 2005. They ... were responsible for 96 percent of all wells drilled in the Lone Star State in 2006. As the independents' market share has increased, however, the number of operators has steadily decreased for the past 20 years. The number of businesses in oil and gas fell to 6,982 in 2006 from 17,575 in 1986, according to Texas Railroad Commission records.
