Choosing workover fluids starts with the functions the well requires. Density must address the pressure-control objective, but the same fluid also contacts the formation, mixes with other fluids, encounters changing temperatures and may have to carry solids. A choice that satisfies only its surface density can leave important compatibility, loss and restart questions unresolved. [1, ...
