Methods of reducing sag include combining a cystol ester compound with a
non-aqueous fluid and particles to reduce sag in the resulting fluid
composition without significantly increasing the viscosity of the fluid
composition. The fluid composition CONTAINS the non-aqueous fluid, the
particles, and the cystol ester compound. Suitable cystol ester compounds
include cystol ester and derivatives of cystol ester having mono-, di-,
or tri-substituted aromatic compounds as substituents. The non-aqueous
fluid may CONTAINS an invert emulsion, diesel oil, mineral oil, an
olefin, an organic ester, a synthetic fluid, or combinations thereof.
Further, the fluid composition may be used as a wellbore servicing fluid
such as a drilling fluid. The particles may CONTAINS a weighting agent,
e.g., barite, galena, hematite, dolomite, calcite, or combinations
thereof. The fluid composition may also include organophilic clay.
