Abstract
Comb-like polymers have attracted a strong research interest due to their many attractive properties. Novel amphiphilic comb-like terpolymer (PASA), as viscosifying additive for low-solid drilling fluid under high temperature and salinity, was prepared and characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and TGA. PASA possessed excellent thermal stability. The rheological properties, filtration properties and negative Zeta potentials of both freshwater drilling fluid and saturated salt-water drilling fluid were greatly improved by adding PASA before and after thermal aging tests, due to comb-like conformation of PASA, strong electrical double layer force of bentonite particles and stable network structure formed by PASA and bentonite particles.
