I'm not sure if you are referring to money or oil production but, it all depends on the amount of wells and actual oil producing capability of every well on the Oil rig (also known as a production platform).

It can produce volumes of around <500 BPD (Barrels/Day) and can exceed 15 000 BPD. There are also multiple wells on a single rig. So, if you have for eg. 40 wells producing an average of 5000 BPD between them on a single platform, you are looking at 200 000 BPD which could add up to $20 000 000 per day. You have to keep in mind that these operations are extremely expensive to run and the exploration and drilling operations cost billions even before any oil was produced.

The oil production of every single well decreases over time and profits decrease.
