Abstract

A method of treating a well including injecting a well-treating fluid into the well, where the well-treating fluid comprises a glycol compound and an organic liquid, the glycol compound and organic liquid being present in amounts selected to achieve a desired density. In another embodiment, a well fluid including a glycol compound an organic liquid, and a salt, wherein the glycol compound, organic liquid, and salt are present in amounts selected to achieve a predetermined density is disclosed.
