Empirical study of the market structure of the shale gas drilling industry in the United States ; highly concentrated during its experimental stage, roughly from the early 1980s to the early 2000s, has since become less concentrated, exhibiting a long tail of infrequent drillers ; nevertheless, even during the latter stage, the vast majority of shale gas wells have been drilled by a limited number of large independent oil and gas producers.
