A gas kick will cause the annular surface pressure to increase due to the reduced hydrostatic head in the annulus caused by the inflowing gas having a lower density than the displaced drilling mud. Another way to detect a kick is by an increase in mud tank volume. Formation fluids flowing into the wellbore will increase the annular flow rate while the drill pipe flow rate remains the same. This will cause a build-up of mud in the mud storage tanks.
