The rig that was used for that movie is actually a state of the art 5th+ Gen rig we own capable of drilling in 10,000 feet of water to around 40,000 feet deep... It was a cold stack rig no longer used when the movie was made. We bought it and had it refurbished for around half a billion dollars... or roughly half what a new build would cost...


Damn. That's a chunk of change. Did you guys Super Charge it, or go Turbo? lol
