  "term": "Gas-cut mud",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "Drilling fluid that has become contaminated with natural gas from the formation, reducing its density and hydrostatic pressure. This condition can lead to a loss of well control if not managed properly, as the reduced pressure may allow more formation fluids to enter the wellbore. Degassers are used to remove entrained gas.",
