The invention relates to the technical field of oil wells, in particular to a
sulfonate retarder as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
sulfonate retarder has the following
structural formula: # imgabs0 #, wherein X is 16-23, Y is 6-11, and Z is 2-6. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A, dissolving
sodium hydrogen sulfite and
sodium sulfite in deionized water, adding
epoxy chloropropane for reaction, and then adding
sodium hydroxide for reaction; carrying out suction
filtration, washing and
drying to obtain a
sulfonate intermediate; b, dissolving the sulfonate intermediate and vinyl
imidazole in deionized water for reaction, then adding
anhydrous sodium carbonate for
continuous reaction, removing the
solvent after reaction, and purifying to obtain a sulfonate
monomer; c, a sulfonate
monomer and
itaconic acid are dissolved in deionized water, then 1-allyl-3-methyl
imidazole chloride and an initiator are dropwise added into the
system, a reaction is conducted, and a sulfonate
retarder is obtained; the sulfonate retarder provided by the invention ensures the original retarding performance, is suitable for the ultra-deep
well cementing process, meets the extreme cementing construction requirements, and has a good application prospect.
