The first oil rig is generally considered to be the one built by Edwin Drake in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania. This rig, known as the Drake Well, marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry and was a significant advancement in oil extraction techniques. Prior to this, oil was typically gathered from surface seeps or dug from wells by hand. The success of Drake's rig led to the rapid development of the oil industry.

With a floating oil rig as sophisticated and advanced as the Deepwater Horizon (even though having been built in 2001 for a cost of $350 million), it would be in the estimate of $700 million upwards. It all depends on the task of the rig pertaining to the depth to be drilled, the composite of the area to be drilled, and the various equipment supplied on the rig.
After exploration has been done and oil deposits have been found, the exact location of an oil producing rig is based on the location of these oil deposits. It will be placed in a way that it is centered within close proximity of the oil field. As there will be multiple wells on a single oil rig, the wells are drilled deviated from the rig to the zone that contains the oil.
