A method for well planning comprising: receiving trajectory data including a subject well trajectory; rendering, by a GUI (2520, 2600), at least a portion of the trajectory data to a display as a trajectory according to a coordinate system associated with a geologic environment; selecting a point of the trajectory; and rendering a traveling plate graphic to the display for the selected point, a traveling plate being a planar representation with a boundary or circumference where the trajectory of a bore is within the boundary or circumference, characterized by: operatively coupling the GUI to an automated design framework for the trajectory, wherein a set of trajectories is automatically generated that aim to meet particular criteria, accomplished via modeling as a multi-objective optimization problem, wherein a Pareto frontier approach is utilized as to designed trajectories candidates, wherein the automated design framework includes a solver for the multi-objective problem, which tries to find its Pareto frontier using optimizers, adjusting the trajectory using a traveling plate approach and the Pareto frontier approach, generating a well plan in digital form that can be utilized in a well drilling system, where information in the well plan, including the adjusted trajectory, can be utilized via one or more automation mechanisms of the well drilling system to automate one or more operations at a wellsite. receiving trajectory data including a subject well trajectory; rendering, by a GUI (2520, 2600), at least a portion of the trajectory data to a display as a trajectory according to a coordinate system associated with a geologic environment; selecting a point of the trajectory; and rendering a traveling plate graphic to the display for the selected point, a traveling plate being a planar representation with a boundary or circumference where the trajectory of a bore is within the boundary or circumference, characterized by: operatively coupling the GUI to an automated design framework for the trajectory, wherein a set of trajectories is automatically generated that aim to meet particular criteria, accomplished via modeling as a multi-objective optimization problem, wherein a Pareto frontier approach is utilized as to designed trajectories candidates, wherein the automated design framework includes a solver for the multi-objective problem, which tries to find its Pareto frontier using optimizers, adjusting the trajectory using a traveling plate approach and the Pareto frontier approach, generating a well plan in digital form that can be utilized in a well drilling system, where information in the well plan, including the adjusted trajectory, can be utilized via one or more automation mechanisms of the well drilling system to automate one or more operations at a wellsite. operatively coupling the GUI to an automated design framework for the trajectory, wherein a set of trajectories is automatically generated that aim to meet particular criteria, accomplished via modeling as a multi-objective optimization problem, wherein a Pareto frontier approach is utilized as to designed trajectories candidates, wherein the automated design framework includes a solver for the multi-objective problem, which tries to find its Pareto frontier using optimizers, adjusting the trajectory using a traveling plate approach and the Pareto frontier approach, generating a well plan in digital form that can be utilized in a well drilling system, where information in the well plan, including the adjusted trajectory, can be utilized via one or more automation mechanisms of the well drilling system to automate one or more operations at a wellsite.
