The invention discloses a
tackifier copolymerization associate used for a
drilling fluid and a preparation method of the
tackifier copolymerization associate. The copolymerization associate comprises a constitutional unit A, a constitutional unit B, a constitutional unit C and a constitutional unit D. The constitutional unit A is
acrylamide, the constitutional unit B is N-methyl diallyl propylsulfonate (MAPS) which is an amphoteric ionic
monomer, the constitutional unit C is an ionic associate of the constitutional unit B and cationic
polyamine, and the constitutional unit D is
starch. Based on the total amount of the copolymerization associate, the copolymerization associate comprises 6-45% by weight of
acrylamide, 5-35% by weight of the N-methyl diallyl propylsulfonate which is an amphoteric ionic
monomer, 2-30% by weight of the cationic
polyamine, and 5-35% by weight of
starch. A
tackifier obtained through the preparation method can
resist temperature as high as 180 DEG C, can
resist a saturated NaCl solution, and
resist a CaCl2 solution with the concentration being 20%. The tackifier is excellent shale inhibition and filtrate reduction.
