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.

How much oil was the Deepwater Horizon Platform pumping prior to the oil spill?

No oil. The Deepwater Horizon rig was drilling an exploratory well. It had cemented in the last production liner. The productive zone was supposed to be isolated from this production casing by cement at the bottom and a mechanical "packoff" at the top. The final steps would have been to set temporary cement plugs inside this last production liner and move off location. Another rig, (a completion rig) would have completed the well later, so it could flow to a production station.
