Particle Size Analysis - Episode 51
The size and distribution of particles in a drilling fluid can impact fluid performance. You may need big solids for bridging or wellbore strengthening. Small particles might result in poor fluid loss and progressive gels. How do we measure particle size distribution and why does it matter? Matt and Justin discuss this and more in Episode 51 of the Flowline.
Weight Material: Episode 50
