Abstract

Auxiliary agents for chemical flooding of petroleum deposits and auxiliary agents used in well drilling fluids are water-soluble copolymers containing a statistical distribution of PA1 (a) 5 to 95% by weight of structural units of formula I ##STR1## (b) 0 to 30% by weight of structural units of formula II ##STR2## (c) 0 to 80% by weight of structural units of formula III ##STR3## (d) 5 to 60% by weight of structural units of formula IV ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl or together are trimethylene to cyclic pentamethylene; PA1 R.sup.3 represents hydrogen or methyl; PA1 R.sup.4 represent a imidazolyl-(1) or imidazolyl-(2) moiety; PA1 Y is a single covalent bond or the formula --CO--NH--C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --; and PA1 X.sup.+ is a cation.
