The invention discloses a hydrophobic association polymer and a synthesis process, which is characterized in that the parts by weight of each raw material are: 320-360 parts of pure water, 0.25-0.75 parts of disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetate (Edta-2Na), baking soda 25-35 parts, 18-22 parts of acrylic acid, 12-18 parts of potassium chloride, 95-105 parts of acrylamide, 15-20 parts of urea, 25-30 parts of monomer, among which, Edta-2Na sand-carrying property 2±0.1 h settlement is less than 20%, dry powder 0.25% viscosity 21‑27. Compared with the above-mentioned prior art, the invention has simple operation, low production cost, stable product quality and extremely low impact on environmental pollution. At the same time, the invention has the advantages of wide source of raw materials, simple production operation, low cost, and little impact on the environment; stable product quality, good solubility, temperature and salt resistance, shear resistance, high viscosity, etc., and can be applied to medium and low temperature oil and gas reservoir fracturing Construction and EOR.
