Abstract:
A wellbore fluid may include a non-oleaginous internal phase, an oleaginous external phase, and an emulsifier having a molecular weight of at least 700 daltons, whereby the emulsifier may include at least one tertiary amine. A method of completing a wellbore operation may include injecting a wellbore fluid downhole, the wellbore fluid including a non-oleaginous internal phase, an oleaginous external phase, and an emulsifier having a molecular weight of at least 700 daltons. The emulsifier may include at least one tertiary amine. The method may further include injecting a wash fluid comprising a protonating agent downhole.
