The invention relates to the technical field of
asphalt, and particularly discloses modified
asphalt for
drilling fluid and a preparation method of the modified
asphalt, and the modified asphalt comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of matrix asphalt, 12-15 parts of sulfonated modified
monomer, 3-5 parts of zwitterionic modified
monomer, 2-3 parts of crosslinking modifier, 3-5 parts of environment-friendly activating aid, 2-4 parts of
neutralization regulator and 90-110 parts of deionized water. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, melting and activating the matrix asphalt, and adding the environment-friendly activating aid to prepare the activated asphalt; carrying out gradient heating, and adding a sulfonated modified
monomer, a zwitterionic modified monomer and a cross-linking modifier step by step to complete composite cross-linking modification; and finally, cooling, adding a
neutralization regulator to adjust the pH value, adding deionized water, performing high-speed shearing and homogenizing, and cooling to obtain a finished product. The modified asphalt is stable and controllable in
viscosity, excellent in high and low temperature
filtration loss control performance, adaptive to complex drilling working conditions, environment-friendly in process and easy to implement.
