Abstract

A method for quantifying and managing energy consumption and emissions equivalents of a subsurface development plan includes generating a plurality of digital representations of the subsurface development plan. The subsurface development plan includes a plurality of wellbores. The method also includes determining fluid production rates from the wellbores, fluid injection rates into the wellbores, or both based upon the digital representations. The method also includes determining that the fluid production rates, the fluid injection rates, or both are within operational constraints, achieve predetermined objectives, or both. The method also includes determining the energy consumption and the emissions equivalents based upon the digital representations. The emissions equivalents correspond to the energy consumption. The method also includes generating a plurality of different subsurface development plans based upon the energy consumption, the emissions equivalents, or both.
