Before I answer your question, I like to provide this informatio.
A offshore rig considered both an offshore installation (like a bouy) and a marine vessel (a boat). The captain (also called the Master) is in charge when the rig is underway, or being moved from one location to the other. When the rig is positioned over the well, and the riser is connected to the blow out preventers (latched in), the offshore installation manager or OIM is in charge.
During an oil spill from a rig, both the OIM and the Captain of the rig have very important responsibilities, which may overlap. Either may order activation of the emergency disconnect system (EDS) which will free the rig from the well. When a rig is on fire, the Captain orders an abandon ship command, and coordinates fire fighting activities, distress calls, and search and rescue operations. If the rig can disconnect from the well, the captain is fully in charge to move the rig from the blown out well as quickly as possible.
In some drilling operations, one person is both OIM and Captain.
