Summary Field and laboratory tests described in this paper were designed to develop a better understanding of conditions that affect gas analysis during mud logging. The test objectives were to quantify gas losses, if any, from the mud at the bell nipple or in the flowline during drilling and to study the effects of changing mud properties on gas-trap extraction efficiency.
