sug.
Ex: Another important task of the mud logger is to monitor gas levels (and types) and notify other personnel on the rig when gas levels may be reaching dangerous levels, so appropriate steps can be taken to avoid a dangerous well blowout condition. Because of the lag time between drilling and the time required for the mud and cuttings to return to the surface.

Lag definitions:

• Lag time is the time the mud takes to travel inside the hole between two specified depth points.

• The time taken between the surface to the bottom of the hole is called "lag down" or "Lag in".

• The time taken between the bottom of the hole to the surface is called "lag-up" or "bottoms 'up".

• The surface to surface time is called "Complete cycle" or In/Out time.
