That price is only if labor is free. The official fields cost about $50k. The shear number of custom fabricated components and welded joints makes the field very expensive (the billable rate for each of these is at least $55/hour in New England).
By the looks of the new Delta field, there is a significantly higher portion of COTS components, thus immediately benefiting from huge savings.
