We don’t we do not have any of the major oil companies here. Only one that it could even slightly be considered a major oil producing company that actually does production here in the state,” Martin said. “We have a lot of pipeline companies. We have a lot of refining companies. But oil and gas production is predominantly done by local, independent oil and gas producers across the state. We are almost exclusively a marginal well state.”
