Abstract

With 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS), YX-1 (a monomer containing an amide group) as the main chain, DX-2 (a monomer containing a hydrophobic group), N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) as the side chain, the high temperature resistant suspension stabilizer for spacer was prepared by free radical aqueous solution polymerization and characterized. The structure was characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), which proved that the synthesized product was the target product. The performance of the copolymer was evaluated. The experimental results showed that it could be used in the spacer fluid at 30 ∼ 210 °C, and its sedimentation performance could also meet the requirements in the spacer fluid system containing saturated brine. In order to explore the mechanism of the polymer, the polymer solution was tested by six-speed rotational viscometer, pyrene fluorescence probe test, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) test, and the isolation solution containing the copolymer was tested by Zeta potential test and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on the above test results, it is shown that the suspension stabilizer synthesized in this paper has the characteristics of thickening, physical plugging, chemical and physical adsorption, which can effectively ensure that the spacer fluid has excellent suspension performance at high temperature.
