Rate of gas portion that enters the mud
Input(s)
\(q_{r}\): Rock Removal Rate \((\mathrm{SCF} / \mathrm{min})\)
\(S_{g}\): Gas Saturation (fraction)
Ø: Formation Porosity (per cent)
Output(s)
\(q_{g}\): The Rate of Gas Portion that enters the Mud with Bulk Rock (SCF/min)
Formula(s)
\[
q_{g}=q_{r} \varnothing S_{g}
\]
