NEW SURVEY SHOWS AMERICA'S INDEPENDENT PRODUCERS ARE NOW LEADING THE WAY IN U.S. OIL
AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION

But Production from Public Lands Remains Stagnant, Proving Need for Action Now

Independent oil and natural gas producers may now be the "major players" in developing America's oil and natural gas resource
base, according to a new IPAA survey, but their involvement on public lands over the past few years remains unchanged -- a
sign that the promise for a strong domestic oil and natural gas industry remains unfulfilled.

"This survey shows that if America wants to revive its oil and natural gas industry, then public lands production must be
encouraged now," said IPAA Chairman Lew O. Ward, an Oklahoma oil and natural gas producer. IPAA surveyed over 5,000
independents to compile the "1996 Profile of Independent Producers." Among the survey's conclusions:

The typical independent is a highly-efficient small business owner with ten full-time and three part-time employees, and
has been established for 22 years with gross revenues of $2.8 million.

The offshore area continues to be one of the fastest growing domains of independents. Independents drilled 59 percent of
the wells in the Gulf of Mexico in 1995. Slightly less than 11 percent of respondents currently operate in federal waters,
while 16.2 percent operate in state waters; an increase from the 1994 survey of three percent and nearly five percent,
respectively.

Slightly more than 42 percent of respondents reported that they currently hold a federal or Indian leases, with a median of
10 leases per independent.

Slightly more than 14 percent of responding firms currently operate internationally, which is an increase of three percent
from the 1994 survey. Twenty-five percent of the firms plan to pursue international opportunities in the next five years.

Slightly more than 20 percent of responding firms are publicly traded.

Independents tend to be well-educated with a large majority holding a degree from some level of higher education.
