A composition is provided which comprises an acrylamide- containing polymer comprising repeat units derived from at least two monomers, a polypropylene glycol, and optionally, a polysaccharide. Also provided is a water-based composition which can be used as drilling fluid wherein the composition comprises calcium chloride, an acrylamide-containing polymer which has repeat units derived from at least two monomers, a polypropylene glycol, and optionally, a polysaccharide. additionally, a proc ess for using a water-based fluid which has the characteristics of an oil-based fluid as to use in drilling a gumbo shale or highly hydratable formation is provid ed wherein the process comprises contacting the shale or formation with a composition comprising calcium chloride, an acrylamide-containing polymer, a polypropylene glycol, and optionally, a polysaccharide wherein the acrylamid e- containing polymer, polypropylene glycol, and polysaccharide are each presen t in a sufficient amount to effect the control of fluid loss of a water-based composition.
