Visible crew/equipment: During Bud and Coffey's fight in the lab, we see a lightbulb swinging from side to side between the two men. If you look closely, you can see a hand (belonging to a third person) pushing the lightbulb. The only people in the room are Bud and Coffey. (01:44:16)

Trivia: The fictional company that owns and operates the undersea drilling rig is called Benthic Petroleum.

The pumps at the station feature the Benthic Petroleum logo.
