Abstract
Methods of drilling with a wellbore fluid may include pumping the wellbore fluid with an oxidative degradable polymer into a wellbore with and an inactivated oxidant; forming a filtercake in a downhole environment, allowing some of the fluid to filter into a subterranean rock formation to produce a filtercake containing the oxidative degradable polymer and inactivated oxidant; and removing the filtercake formed by the wellbore fluid from the wellbore walls by exposing the filtercake with a breaker fluid comprising an aqueous fluid, and at least one iminodiacetic acid or a salt thereof.
