Polymer thickening agent, preparation method thereof and prepared fracturing fluid
By designing polymer monomers with rigid ring structures and polysulfonic acid groups, and combining them with hydrophobic alkyl chains and physical crosslinking agents, a fracturing fluid with shear resistance, temperature resistance, and salt resistance was prepared. This solved the problems of insufficient temperature resistance, shear resistance, and proppant carrying capacity of existing fracturing fluids, and achieved safer gel breaking and lower reservoir damage.

AI Technical Summary
Existing fracturing fluid thickeners have shortcomings in terms of temperature resistance, shear resistance, salt resistance, and proppant carrying capacity. Furthermore, the residue after gel breaking can easily clog fractures, affecting the fracturing effect.
By using polymer thickeners, designing polymer monomers with rigid ring structures, polysulfonic acid groups, and quaternary ammonium salt structures, and adding hydrophobic alkyl chains, combined with physical crosslinking agents, fracturing fluids that are resistant to shear, temperature, and salt can be prepared.
It improves the viscosity-enhancing properties of fracturing fluid, reduces the acid-rock reaction rate, enhances sand-carrying capacity, leaves less residue after gel breaking, is safe and environmentally friendly, and has broad application prospects.
