1. A computer system for displaying a well trajectory, the computer system comprising:
a processor;
a display device coupled to the processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions executable by the processor for:
receiving a first trajectory information associated with a planned wellbore path;
receiving a second trajectory information associated with an actual path of a wellbore being drilled; and
responsive to receiving the first trajectory information and the second trajectory information, generating a display on the display device of (i) a first portion of the planned wellbore path, (ii) a first portion of the actual path of the wellbore being drilled, (iii) formation information, and (iv) a plurality of trajectory error regions with each of the plurality of trajectory error regions being associated with a level of trajectory error based on a difference between the actual path of the wellbore being drilled and the planned wellbore path, wherein:
the plurality of trajectory error regions displayed on the display device comprises a first trajectory error region and a second trajectory error region;
the first trajectory error region comprises a first level of trajectory error based on a first difference between the actual path of the wellbore being drilled and the planned wellbore path;
the second trajectory error region comprises a second level of trajectory error based on a second difference between the actual path of the wellbore being drilled and the planned wellbore path; and
the first level of trajectory error is lower than the second level of trajectory error.
