What are the responsibilities of a company man at a wellsite?

The company man is a key member of the team at a wellsite, responsible for ensuring that operations are conducted safely, efficiently, and in compliance with regulations. In this article, we will discuss the responsibilities of a company man at a wellsite.


Responsibilities of a Company Man at a Wellsite:

  1. Supervision: The company man is responsible for supervising all aspects of operations at the wellsite, including drilling, completion, and production. This involves overseeing the work of contractors and service companies to ensure that they are performing their work safely and effectively.

  2. Safety: The company man is responsible for ensuring that operations are conducted safely and in compliance with safety regulations. This includes conducting safety meetings, performing safety inspections, and implementing safety procedures.

  3. Regulatory Compliance: The company man is responsible for ensuring that all operations at the wellsite are conducted in compliance with regulatory requirements, including environmental regulations and safety regulations.

  4. Communication: The company man is responsible for communicating with other members of the team at the wellsite, including the drilling contractor, service companies, and other personnel. This involves providing updates on operations and addressing any issues or concerns that may arise.

  5. Record Keeping: The company man is responsible for maintaining accurate records of all operations at the wellsite, including drilling logs, completion records, and production records. These records are important for regulatory compliance and for tracking the performance of the well over time.

  6. Emergency Response: The company man is responsible for ensuring that there is an emergency response plan in place at the wellsite, and for responding to emergencies in a timely and effective manner.


The company man plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of a wellsite.
