The price of oil rigs for land drilling in the United States typically starts at around $18 million to $20 million and goes up to around $25 million, but it can be nearly twice that amount depending on the specific rig purchased. The least-expensive rigs are those classified as U.S. small footprint land rigs.
The cost of a 6Â­casing, 6,000 m (19,700 ft) geothermal well compares satisfactorily with a limited number of oil and gas wells from the JAS database. The estimated cost of the 6,000 km EGS well is $12.28 million vs. an average JAS oil and gas well cost of $18 million.owever, an example wellÂ­cost estimate was developed for a 2,500 m (8,200 ft) oil and gas well with casing diameters that are more representative of those used in oil and gas drilling (the comparison is shown in Table 6.2). These costs are within the scatter of the JAS cost information for California.
