A wellbore servicing fluid comprises an aqueous base fluid, one or more alkali metal or alkali earth metal salts, at least one visocisifier, and a filtration control package. The filtration control package may comprise a carboxylic acid and an ethoxylated alcohol compound. Alternatively, the filtration control package may comprise a polyethylene glycol. The carboxylic acid may have from 8 to 20 carbon atoms. The ethoxylated alcohol compound may have a general formula R(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.xOH, where R is a hydrocarbon having from 10 to 16 atoms and x is an integer from 6 to 9. The ethoxylated alcohol compound may have a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of from 8.0 to 16.0. The polyethylene glycol may have a mass average molar mass (M.sub.w) of less than or equal to 1500 daltons.

An aqueous, bubble forming composition is provided that contains glitter, wherein the glitter is strongly both lipophilic and hydrophilic and therefore able to preferentially release from the contact surface of the bubble forming toy while maintaining the structural integrity of the bubbles.

A fine bubble generation promoter includes: one of a fatty acid and a fat-soluble vitamin in an amount within a range of 2.4 wt % to 33 wt %, inclusive; and a hydrocarbon in an amount within a range of 67 wt % to 97 wt %, inclusive. A total concentration of (i) one of the fatty acid and the fat-soluble vitamin and (ii) the hydrocarbon is 99 wt % or more.

Anti-bit balling drilling fluids and methods of making and using drilling fluids are provided. The anti-bit balling drilling fluid contains water, a clay-based component, and at least one of a surfactant having the formula: R(OC.sub.2H.sub.4).sub.xOH, where R is a hydrocarbyl group having from 10 to 20 carbon atoms and x is an integer from 1 and 10, or a polyethylene glycol having the formula: H(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOH, where n is an integer from 1 to 50. Methods of making and using these drilling fluids are also provided.

This is to provide a composition containing a decomposition product of yeast cell body residue useful as an emulsifier substitute, an emulsion stabilizer substitute or a milk-like substitute, and a method for producing the same, and use thereof.

Provided is a composition containing a cell wall lysing enzyme-decomposition product of yeast cell body residue, wherein the decomposition product contains 5% by mass or more of lipid based on a dry mass of the decomposition product.

Spacer fluids include an emulsion, a surfactant package, and at least one additive that modifies the rheology of the spacer fluid, the density of the spacer fluid, or both. The emulsion may include an aqueous external phase and a hydrocarbon-based internal phase. The surfactant package may include one or more surfactants. The surfactant package may also include a surfactant having the general structure R(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.9OH, where R is a hydrocarbyl having 12 carbon atoms, 13 carbon atoms, or 14 carbon atoms. The spacer fluid may contain at least 4.25 pounds of R(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.9OH per barrel of the spacer fluid.
