1. A method for controlling field equipment, the method comprising:
receiving information via an interface of a control system, the information comprising sensor data for one or more pieces of equipment of a drilling rig that is recorded during drilling and communicated to the interface of the control system;
analyzing the information received from the control system with respect to tiered well construction activities, wherein the tiered well construction activities represent a hierarchical relationship between one or more processes, sub-processes, and activities for building a well;
based on the analyzing, generating a workflow that comprises at least a series of tiered well construction activities and that links the information received from the interface with the one or more processes, sub-processes and activities for building the well; and
transmitting a signal from the control system to the field equipment to control the field equipment to perform at least one of the series of tiered well construction activities in drilling the well.
