  1. Results for shore-based analysis of drilling mud gas samples (iso = Isotube, glass = glass flask, iso event = event gas sampled with Isotube). Total depth is the depth of the borehole when the mud gas was sampled. Lag depth is the sampled depth corrected for the time the drilling mud needs to circulate from the drill bit to the ship. NA denotes “not available”, and was used for samples where the gas concentration in the sample vials was too low for further measurements; BD = below detection limit, mBRT = meter below rotary table; mbsf = meter below seafloor.
