Believe it or not, I am told that the manufacturer’s quick reaction teams now call themselves “SWAT” teams.
By "manufacturer's" you mean ..... the manufacturer of the BOP's? If those were Shaffer BOP's, then that'd be National Oilwell - Varco (rig had a Varco top-drive as well as a rotary table). And so on.
Or it could mean Transocean, or even the rig builder, Hyundai?
Could be a BP team, too. It'd be understandable that they'd send a team "on location" (the dock? the boom- and skimmer-boats? the relief rig? ). Makes you wonder what "on location" means now!
What they really need most of all is survivors from the rig floor. And they're going to be sadly short in that department.
Does that mean the “SWAT” guys get to wear all black and kick doors down?
