Trendsetter Engineering developed a rapid-response well-capping stack that is stored at Houston Airport and can be installed within a week of call-out. The Global Rapid Intervention Package, a 40-tonne system (much lighter than traditional stacks) is rated to 15,000 psi, 250 degrees Fahrenheit, 10,000-ft depth and 330,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. It was created because traditional equipment was too unwieldy to deploy quickly. "We store it at the airport. It’s bonded and cleared through customs.
