Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action for breach of an oil and gas drilling contract, and related tort claims, arising from the drilling of wildcat wells in western Kansas. The drilling contract was between defendant Empire Drilling Company, a contract drilling company, and plaintiff Plains Resources, Inc., an enterprise engaging in exploring for oil and gas production on a wildcat basis. Following a bench trial the district court entered judgment against defendant Empire Drilling Company and defendant Empire Oil & Gas Company, a related corporation, for compensatory damages of $282,569.05, prejudgment interest, punitive damages of $1,000,000 and certain fees and expenses. Empire Drilling Company and Empire Oil & Gas Company appealed from the judgment. The appeal of the latter corporation has been voluntarily dismissed and the matter is before this court on the appeal of Empire Drilling Company (hereinafter referred to as Empire). As would be expected, the evidence introduced during the trial, which took four weeks, was extensive and complex. The trial court made eighty-eight detailed factual findings. It would be inappropriate to include the same in this opinion in their entirety or to attempt to summarize the entire trial court memorandum opinion. Rather, we will state generally the background of the case and reserve discussion of facets of the evidence until necessary for determination of specific issues.
