The invention discloses a method comprising providing a fluid comprising a viscosifying agent in an aqueous medium; contacting the fluid with a halogenisocyanuric acid or halogenisocyanurate component; whereby the viscosity of the fluid with the halogenisocyanuric acid or halogenisocyanurate component is reduced compared to the viscosity of the fluid alone; and introducing the fluid into a well. The halogenisocyanuric acid component can be mono chloroisocyanuric acid, dichloroisocyanuric acid or trichloroisocyanuric acid. The halogenisocyanurate component can be an alkali metal monochloroisocyanurate, alkali metal dichloroisocyanurate or alkali metal trichloroisocyanurate.
