Description

This is a workmens compensation case. The facts have been stipulated to by the parties. The employer, Geo. P. Livermore, Inc., is a drilling contracting corporation engaged in operating oil well drilling rigs in New Mexico, Texas and other states. Its compensation insurer is Employers Casualty Company. The claimant, Paul R. Franklin, is a resident of Hobbs, New Mexico. Some time prior to December 8, 1951, a driller, who was representing the employer, came to the claimants home in Hobbs and employed him to work on the night shift on one of its drilling rigs located at a point in Texas about 15 miles from Hobbs and about 7 1/2 miles from the state line. After working about a week, the claimant was discharged. Thereafter, on December 8, 1951, another driller of the employer came to the claimants residence in Hobbs and employed him to work on the day shift on the same rig as a "roughneck." It is customary for the drillers to employ the "roughnecks" and discharge them when the well is completed. The claimant and other members of the crew lived in Hobbs and traveled back and forth from the rig in an automobile.
