1. A method for generating a drilling plan for drilling a wellbore at a field, the method comprising:
receiving data comprising 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;
generating a plurality of candidate drilling plans for drilling the wellbore at the field;
estimating one or more outputs for the plurality of candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the data, wherein the one or more outputs comprise an amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated to drill the wellbore using respective candidate drilling plans of the plurality of candidate drilling plans; and
presenting for selection one or more candidate drilling plans of the plurality of candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the one or more outputs; and
generating and transmitting a signal to cause a drilling apparatus to perform a wellsite action according to a selected drilling plan included in the plurality of candidate drilling plans, wherein the wellsite action includes at least one of initiating drilling at a selected location, varying a trajectory of the wellbore, varying a rate of penetration of a bottom hole assembly that is drilling the wellbore, varying a weight on a drill bit in the bottom hole assembly, varying a flow rate of a fluid pumped into the wellbore, or varying a composition of a fluid that is pumped into the wellbore.
