The invention relates to a tackifying surfactant with
carbon dioxide response and application of the tackifying surfactant in
fracturing fluid, which comprises the following steps: 1, adding
ethanol as a
solvent, sequentially adding
cyanuric chloride and long-chain
fatty amine while stirring, controlling the reaction in an ice-water bath, and adjusting the pH value of the
reaction system to 8-9 by using alkali in the reaction process until the reaction is ended to obtain an
intermediate product (I); 2, hydroxyethyl
piperazine is added into the
intermediate product (I), stirring and mixing are conducted, the temperature is increased to 30-40 DEG C or below, after a heat preservation reaction is conducted for 1-2 h, the temperature continues to be increased while the ethyl
alcohol is distilled off and recycled, when the temperature is increased to 80-95 DEG C, the heat preservation reaction is conducted for 5-6 h, the pH of a
reaction system is adjusted to be 8-9 with alkali in the reaction process, and after the reaction is finished, the CO2 response tackifying surfactant is obtained. The
protonation rate of
tertiary amine groups is increased, more
tertiary amine groups are contained in surfactant molecules to form multiple cations, then more stable wormlike micelles are formed through the surfactant molecules and
small molecule salt, and the tackifying effect and the
salt resistance are further improved.
