Abstract

Wellbore fluid compositions herein may include an oleaginous base fluid having an aqueous internal phase forming a micelle, a solid phase material, a hydrophobic surface modifier that interacts with the solid phase material, and a bifunctional surface modifier with a first functional group capable of interacting with the solid phase material, and a second functional group of the bifunctional surface modifier that interacts with the micelle. Methods herein may include emplacing a wellbore fluid into a wellbore, the wellbore fluid containing an oleaginous base fluid, a solid phase material, and a hydrophobic surface modifier that interacts with the solid phase material. The fluid may further include a bifunctional surface modifier with a first functional group capable of interacting with the solid phase material, and a second functional group capable of interacting with a micelle of the aqueous fluid.
