Abstract

A random copolymer, a preparation method of the random copolymer, a drilling fluid containing the random copolymer. The random copolymer contains structural unit (A) represented by formula (1), structural unit (B) represented by formula (2), structural unit (C) represented by formula (3), and structural unit (D) represented by formula (4) or (5):

wherein X is halogen. When the random copolymer is used as a filter loss reducer in a high-calcium drilling fluid, the filter loss of the high-calcium drilling fluid can be reduced.
