Description
1 This is an appeal by defendant, Max Pray, from judgment on directed verdict for plaintiff, Kidd Williams Drilling Corporation, in the amount of $24,128.07, as balance due under terms of a certain written contract. In accordance with said contract, plaintiff drilled a well on a leasehold in Garvin County, Oklahoma, owned by defendant (3/8ths), Kenneth Ellison (1/8th), and Redlands Oil Company (4/8ths). The contract recited that defendant was to be the operator of the well when completed, and defendant was the only one of the lease owners who was a party to or who signed the contract. Upon completion of the well, plaintiff, as previously requested by defendant, billed each of the lease owners for their pro rata part of the contract amount, according to their ownership interest. Defendant and Kenneth Ellison paid their respective parts, but Redlands did not. After trying unsuccessfully for several months to collect from Redlands, plaintiff brought action against defendant to recover the balance due plaintiff under the contract, resulting in the judgment appealed from.
