∙ 13y ago
The company man on an offshore drilling rig has the responsibility to supervise the execution of the approved drilling program, including all revisions made by drilling engineers. He is the top representative of the oil company which has hired or contracted other companies to drill the well.
In the case of the BP oil spill, BP contracted Transocean for the rig and drilling of the well. BP contracted Halliburton to cement in the well. Each of these contractor companies keep the company man informed of what they are doing, and if they have problems, the company man must be informed and has final approval authority.
In BP's case, and generally in most drilling operations, there is a morning meeting between the rig and the land based office, where the days activities are discussed.
In BP's case, if the company man asks one of the contracting companies to do something not agreed upon or considered unsafe, the contracting company can refuse.
The company man has many administrative activities, including compliance to all legal and safety regulations. In this regard, he works very closely with the Offshore Installation Manager, who is the drilling contractor's top manager.
Finally, there are two company men onboard an offshore rig at all times, one for the day shift and one for the evening shift.

Who is in charge of drilling rigs?
This is a good question! I would like to broaden the question a bit as to who makes the decision on a drilling rig. Of particular interest is the offshore drilling rig, where there are responsibilities for quick decisions on the rig floor, and others made from land offices. Routine decisions can be made on the rig. Other decisions are made from land office. These land offices may be in the particular company where the drilling is occuring, but others may require the home office approval. Drilling engineers, production engineers, reservoir engineers, geophysicists, and geologists may all be involved. Often, the drilling rig is leased from a service company. They may contract the rig on a turnkey or day rate basis. A day rate basis is very common, as the service company is not taking a risk if the drilling takes longer than expected. The rig has a crew which is the service company supervisors job to supervise. The well is drilled per the contracting oil company's (lease holder) plan. At all times, there is a company representative or "company man", present to make decisions as the drilling progresses. The company man may modify the plan however modifications to plan often require land office approvals. Some decisions are critical, such as whether to test a prospective zone. Drilling rigs run 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week, so there is a hectic period between the first encounter of a potential producing zone and the testing plan. Ultimately, the testing plan must have the agreement of the operator and all partners (lease holder group).
