OPINION
THOMAS, Chief Justice.
Page Petroleum, Inc. and the other owners of a lease sued Dresser Industries, Inc. and Houston Fishing Tools Company for negligently damaging an uncompleted oil well, which resulted in the well being abandoned and the drilling of a replacement well. The jury found that Page 1, Dresser, and Houston were negligent, attributed 50% of the negligence to Page, 40% to Houston and 10% to Dresser. Dresser and Houston contend they were entitled to a take-nothing judgment because their contracts with Page absolved them from any liability for negligence.
