The invention discloses a
thickening agent which is provided with a branched
chain structure and used for water base fracture. The
thickening agent is composed of six monomers in a copolymerization mode. The six monomers comprise N, N-dimethyl acrylic
amide (AAM), dimethyl diallyl
ammonium chloride (DADMAC),
acrylonitrile (AN),
methacrylic acid (AA), 2-acrylic
amide-2-methyl
propane sulfonate (AMPS) and N-VINYL-2-pyrrolidone (PVN). Further disclosed is a preparation method of the
thickening agent with the branched
chain structure. Compared with the prior art, the thickening agent has the advantages of being low in residue, temperature resistant, prone to
dissolution, anti-shearing and good in sand carrying property. The hyperbranched molecule
fracturing fluid thickening agent completely solves the problems that vegetable glue
fracturing fluid is high in damage and friction, general
polymer fracturing liquid is not resistant to shear and incomplete in gel breaking, and the like. The thickening agent is not like vegetable glue which contains a large amount of
water insoluble matters, completely dissolved in a fracturing liquid
stock solution, basic zero in the
water insoluble matters and free of containing
solid phase composition. The obtained fracturing liquid
stock solution is glittering, translucent and bright. After gel is broken, compared with a vegetable glue fracturing
liquid system, contend of residue is greatly reduced. The thickening agent has the advantages of being less in residue content, low in use
viscosity, good in sand carrying property, low in cost, convenient to flow back and the like.
