Abstract:

based drilling fluid, rheology modifier and enhanced oil recovery. Moreover, structure and microstructure of these polymers are of important in above-mentioned applications. Acrylamide homopolymer and acrylamide/styrene copolymer were synthetized using micellar polymerization for application in the water-based drilling fluid. FTIR, NMR and some theoretical calculations were used to characterize (micro)structure of the polymers. In addition, conversion was obtained using gravimetric method. Ubbelohde viscometer was used to evaluate viscosity- average molecular weight. Apparent viscosity was measured by Brookfield viscometer. Synthesized polymers were used in the water- based drilling fluids with three different concentrations and rheological and fluid loss properties were evaluated before and after hot rolling at 120 °C for 16 h. Moreover, FTIR and NMR results showed successful synthesis of the homo- and copolymers with high conversions. Average hydrophobic styrene block length was calculated by theoretical method to be 3. Results showed that both conversion and molecular weight values were higher in the case of synthetized homopolymer. It was attributed to increase in the possibility of chain transfer to surfactant in the micellar copolymerization reactions. Results showed that despite higher molecular weight in the acrylamide homopolymer case, viscosities of the acrylamide/styrene copolymer aqueous solutions were better in similar concentrations. It was attributed to the hydrophobic association between styrene units. Finally, results showed that both homo- and copolymer caused an improvement in the rheology and fluid loss properties of the water- based drilling fluid. Although rheological properties were reduced after hot rolling or in the presence of salt in the drilling fluids, drilling fluids prepared with acrylamide/styrene copolymer showed more ability to preserve their rheological properties due to the formation of physical network resulting from the hydrophobic associations.
