A good used workover rig (single) including rig tank, rig pump, doghouse, and rig tongs can be had for around $1 Million. A good new work over rig (single) including all the aforementioned stuff is ~$3 Million. I don't know how much more a double or triple would be, but I'm guessing in that same ballpark. A new drilling rig is in the $10 Million range, although you can get used ones for far cheaper.
The problem here is that much of the data before 1987 combines oil and gas rigs, and some of the counts are much higher than the current total of oil rigs alone. The EIAâs historical rig data shows a high of 4,521 rigs in 1981. Baker Hughes showed a record rig count of 4,530 recorded on Dec. 28, 1981.
