Question for Drill Site Supervisors

The company man is paid a day rate until the job is done. $1500/day ish. No Benefits. Usually work as much as you want.

Requires lots of experience and is not a job you will be able to obtain without proving yourself in a field position. You don't need a degree but you will need to work your way up.

They have a lot of responsibility and are liable for any mishaps during the drilling process.

They are a representative of the operator (the lease holder) of the well and supervise the drilling contractors and service companies that are involved in the well development process.

If you don't have any oilfield experience you might want to look elsewhere. Unless you can get into an apprentice program with a major, your odds of becoming a CoMan are slim to none. Most Co. men I come in contact with either have Sr.toolpusher/OIM level experience with a drilling contractor, or come up through the ranks out of college via some sort of apprentice program.


Are you currently enrolled in P.E or P tech program?

Most company men have worked their way all the way up the totem pole. Ie roustabout, roughneck, driller->toolpusher and/or directional driller->company man. If you can somehow circumnavigate some (or all?) of this process, it's due to having a very, very close connection.
