THE FLUID COMPRISES A DISPERSION OF FINELY DIVIDED SOLID WAX PARTICLES AND FINELY DIVIDED SOLID PARTICLES OF A WATER-INSOLUBLE, ACID-SOLUBLE INORGANIC MATERIAL IN AN AQUEOUS SALT SOLUTION CONTAINING ESPECIALLY SELECTED EMULSIFIERS. THE DENSITY OF THE FLUID IS CONTROLLED BY VARYING THE CONCENTRATION OF DISSOLVED SALTS, AND THE VISCOSITY CAN BE INCREASED BY THE ADDITION OF HYDROXY ETHYL CELLULOSE. A SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID HYDROCARBON CAN BE TO IMPROVE THE FLUID LOSS PROPERTIES OF THE FLUID.
