This invention discloses a
ketone-
aldehyde-amine
condensation polymer for drilling fluids, its preparation method, and its applications, belonging to the field of oilfield
chemical technology. The preparation method includes: using water as a
solvent, mixing
ketone monomers,
aldehyde monomers, and amine monomers in a specific
molar ratio, and carrying out a condensation
polymerization reaction at 60-85 °C for 4-10 h under alkaline conditions (pH 8.0-10.0) and
nitrogen protection, followed by
neutralization to obtain the product. This method is simple and
environmentally friendly. The obtained
polymer has a unique molecular structure, exhibiting excellent high-
temperature resistance (≥180 °C) and high-
salt resistance (
salt resistance ≥20%), and high
viscosity retention and good stability in high-density
potassium formate and other brine drilling fluids. Simultaneously, this
polymer possesses excellent shale inhibition and
filtration loss reduction capabilities, significantly improving
drill cuttings
recovery rate and controlling high-temperature, high-pressure
filtration loss. The
polymer of this invention is particularly suitable for high-temperature, high-salt
drilling fluid systems in deep wells, ultra-deep wells, and complex formations, with broad application prospects.
