The invention provides an instant terpolymer
emulsion type
fracturing fluid thickening agent and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of oil and gas exploitation. The preparation method comprises the following steps: reacting chloropropene with N, N, N '-trimethyl
ethylenediamine to prepare N, N, N'-trimethyl-N '-allyl
ethylenediamine (TMPEMA), and reacting TMPEMA with
bromoethane to prepare the (N, N, N-trimethyl-N'-allyl-N ', N'-dimethyl)-ethyl
ammonium dibromide
functional monomer. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing a
monomer solution as a water phase from
acrylamide,
sodium p-styrenesulfonate and a
functional monomer, slowly dropwise adding the water phase into an
oil phase by taking an emulsifier and
liquid paraffin as the
oil phase, introducing N2, uniformly stirring, dropwise adding an initiator, and carrying out inverse
emulsion polymerization to prepare the
fracturing fluid thickening agent. The ternary
polymerization fracturing fluid thickening agent has excellent tackifying performance, instant dissolving capability,
salt resistance,
temperature resistance and shearing resistance. The prepared fracturing fluid has good
viscoelasticity, gel breaking property, sand carrying property, filtrate loss reduction property and the like, can be used as slick water when the concentration is low, can be used as sand carrying fluid when the concentration is high, and has a good application prospect in offshore and
shale oil and gas development.
