Background Gas
All drilled wells will have a background gas level which is usually measurable.
Background gas originates from the rock being cut by the bit.
The background gas level is a function of the porosity of the formation, the hole size (column cut), ROP and mud circulation rat
The degree of overbalance in permeable formations will affect background gas levels.
