The invention relates to a
tackifier for
drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of
processing agents for oil-field drilling fluids. The
tackifier is a net-like
polymer obtained by mixing
acrylamide, a sulfo-group-containing
monomer A and a pyrrolidone
monomer B according to the
mass ratio of 10:(3-5):(0.7-1.5), adjusting the pH value of the solution, adding a cross-linking agent C, a molecular-weight adjusting agent D and an initiator and performing copolymerization crosslinking. The preparation method is simple and practicable, and short in reaction time. The obtained
tackifier has good
salt resistance, has the
temperature resistance up to 135 DEG C, has good effects of increasing
shear viscosity and reducing filter loss when being applied to drilling fluids, is capable of substantially improving the
cutting carrying capability of the drilling fluids under the condition of high temperature, has the effect obviously better than a tackifier normally used on site, is widely applicable to fresh-water drilling fluids and saturated brine drilling fluids, and has relatively good application prospect.
