Abstract
Aspects of the disclosed technology provide solutions for facilitating user visualization and control the path of a new wellbore in three-dimensions (3D). This may include displaying visualizations that show a current well path, a well plan, all nearby offset well paths, and well path projections in a manner that may use different projection methods. These visualizations may also include boundaries where a drilling tool should not go, such 'No-Go-Zones' may be shown in a 3D spatial visualization. Visualizations may be displayed continuously along the well path, at survey stations, and at user-defined depth positions during a drilling process. Such visualizations may include projections that show an anticipated wellbore path, based on current settings of a drilling control system. Alerts may be triggered to warn users of various issues that may affect a new well being drilled. Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided.
