There are provided drilling fluids containing densifying salt dissolved in a solvent for this salt. This solvent contains at least about 50 percent by weight of a liquid non-aqueous solvent such as, e.g., N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, such that the overall solvent has desirable properties with respect to the ability to dissolve salt, miscibility with water, melting point, boiling point, flash point and viscosity.
