A method comprising:
- providing an invert emulsion treatment fluid that comprises
- an oleaginous external phase, and
- an internal phase that comprises
- a first component that comprises one or more alcohols, and
- a second component that comprises one or more polar organic compounds that are soluble in the internal phase, the one or more polar organic compounds selected from the group consisting of urea (monomeric), polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, n-methyl pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, a polyamine, an ethoxylated polyamine, a propoxylated polyamine, morpholine, piperazine, dioxane, hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), glycine, aspartic acid, polyethylene imine, a polyphosphazene, a sugar, a carboxylic acid, an amino acid, and any combination thereof;
- and
- introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation.
