Last updated:
Abstract:
A composition for use in a wellbore activity, the composition comprising a stabilized monovalent iodide brine, the stabilized monovalent iodide brine comprises a monovalent salt system, the monovalent salt system comprises a monovalent iodide; a primary iodide stabilizer, the primary iodide stabilizer operable to remove free iodine, prevent the formation of free iodine, and suppress TCT; and an aqueous fluid, where the stabilized monovalent iodide brine has a density greater than 10 lb/gal, where the stabilized monovalent iodide brine has a TCT of less than or equal to 70 deg F.
