The invention discloses a one-
dose multi-effect
emulsion type
thickening agent and a preparation method thereof. The problems that in the prior art, liquid needs to be prepared in advance, construction is tedious, construction efficiency is affected, meanwhile, the function is single, and different construction environments cannot be met at the same time exist. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: dissolving a water-soluble
monomer in water to obtain a water phase, mixing
solvent oil and an emulsifier to obtain an
oil phase, stirring the mixed oil-water phase at a high speed to obtain a pre-
emulsion, carrying out a reaction through inverse
emulsion polymerization, and adding a
phase inversion agent into the prepared emulsion to obtain the one-
dose multi-effect emulsion type
thickening agent. The one-
dose multi-effect emulsion type
thickening agent prepared by the invention is used as a
fracturing fluid, and has different effects by adjusting the dosage. When a small amount of the one-dose multi-effect emulsion type thickening agent is added, the one-dose multi-effect emulsion type thickening agent can be used as a slickwater
fracturing fluid and has the characteristics of
low friction resistance,
salt resistance and excellent dispersing and dissolving performance; and when the addition amount is large, the the one-dose multi-effect emulsion type thickening agent can be used as a high-temperature-resistant
fracturing fluid and has excellent
temperature resistance and
shear resistance. Seamless switching between the slick water fracturing fluid and the high-temperature-resistant fracturing fluid can be achieved by controlling the adding amount of the thickening agent, and the requirement for on-line
continuous mixing large-scale site construction is met.
