Abstract

The present invention relates to the petroleum drilling fluid field, and discloses a modified silicon dioxide nano-particle comprising a modifying polymer chain composed of structural units provided by one or more of monomers represented by the following formula (1) and one or more of monomers represented by the following formula (2). The present invention provides a method for preparing modified silicon dioxide nano-particles and a drilling fluid suitable for shale gas wells containing the modified silicon dioxide nano-particles as a plugging agent. When the modified silicon dioxide nano-particles provided in the present invention are used as a plugging agent in a drilling fluid, they will not agglomerate into large-size particles, and can achieve a good plugging effect.
