A method for generating a drilling plan for drilling a wellbore at a field includes receiving data. The data includes one or more of geological properties at the field, wellbore properties, drilling tool parameters, rig characteristics of drilling rigs, and working practices of a plurality of drilling crews. The method also includes generating a plurality of candidate drilling plans for drilling the wellbore at the field. The method also includes estimating one or more outputs for the candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the data. The one or more outputs include an amount of emissions generated to drill the wellbore using the candidate drilling plans. The method also includes presenting for selection one or more of the candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the one or more outputs.

Operational emissions framework

An improved approach to creating a plan for a well. A user receives an initial well plan for a planned well and uses the initial well plan as a starting point for alternate well plans. This is done by creating a copy of the initial well plan, allowing the various uses to make changes to the initial well plan, and executing various automatic validation routines on the alternate designs. These validation routines can provide estimated times and costs to complete the planned well use the alternate well plan. The approach can also involved displaying the estimated times and costs of the different candidate well plans. The user can then select one of the candidate well plans as the master well plan. As replanning is done during the operations, this replanning information, along with the actual executed actions, is captured and stored.
