The application provides a
diluent for high-temperature and high-density
drilling fluid and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, mixing monomers, a
chain transfer agent and a
solvent, stirring and dissolving, then introducing N2 to remove
oxygen, then adding an initiator to perform a
polymerization reaction, cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed, and obtaining a first
mixed solution; S2, adding 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and p-toluenesulfonic acid to the first
mixed solution, introducing N2 to remove
oxygen, then performing a reaction at a first temperature, cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed, and obtaining a second
mixed solution; S3, adding 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid
sodium and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to the second mixed solution, introducing N2 to remove
oxygen, then performing a reaction at a second temperature, cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed, then freezing and recrystallizing, and obtaining the
powder-shaped
diluent; the prepared
diluent can adjust the rheological property of the
drilling fluid at high temperature and maintain various performances of the
drilling fluid.
