Well cost vary greatly. Important factors are the location, rig type and days required to drill. Costly locations are harsh environments, like the artic circle or the North Sea. Deep water locations required more costly rigs, that are built to operate in water depths > 1,000 ft.
Average day rates for the various rig types are given in the related link. Day rates on a semi-submersible, deepwater rig capable of drilling in 5,000 ft or more, with all services included, may cost 1 million dollars per day, or 100 million dollars if drilling takes 100 days. At the low end, a development well in a shallow heavy oil deposit may be well under one million dollars.

How is oil extracted?
Oil is extracted through drilling a well into an underground reservoir, typically using a drill bit attached to a drilling rig. The oil is then pumped or flows to the surface through the well. Various techniques such as primary, secondary, and tertiary recovery methods are used to extract the maximum amount of oil from a reservoir.
