The invention concerns a method for determining the particle size distributi on (PSD) of bridging agents in fluids, particularly aqueous fluids used in hydrocarbon recovery such as drilling fluids, drill-in fluids, completion fluids, and the like. It was discovered that the PSD could be selectively...
