The oil and natural gas industry employed over 348,000 Texans in 2018, Todd Staples, president of the Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA), revealed in a statement published on TXOGA’s website earlier this week.

In the statement, Staples also highlighted that the Texas oil and gas industry paid more than $14 billion in state and local taxes and state royalties in 2018 and represented 29 percent of Texas’ gross state product.

“No matter where you live in Texas, the Texas oil and natural gas industry benefits you, and it does so in a greater capacity than you might realize,” Staples said in his statement.
