trip gas
Gas entrained in the drilling fluid during a pipe trip, which typically results in a significant increase in gas that is circulated to surface. This increase arises from a combination of two factors: lack of circulation when the mud pumps are turned off, and swabbing effects caused by pulling the drillstring to surface. These effects may be seen following a short trip into casing or a full trip to surface.
