The stability of cement slurries under high-temperature conditions poses a significant engineering challenge in cementing operations. This study explored the development of a novel tetrameric thermosensitive thickening polymer (TTSTC) as a solution to this problem. Aqueous free radical polymerization was employed to synthesize the polymer. The base monomers 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS) and acrylamide (AM) were employed, in conjunction with the long-chain thermosensitive monomers octadecyldimethylallylammonium chloride (C18DMAAC) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP). The optimal synthesis conditions were determined by orthogonal experiments as follows: monomer molar ratio (AM:AMPS:C18DMAAC:NVP) = 15:10:5:5, initiator concentration of 16 wt%, cross-linker concentration of 0.45 wt%, pH 6, and polymerization temperature of 60 °C. The chemical structure of TTSTC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscopy, Zeta potential, and particle size measurement. The results verified the successful synthesis of the target polymer. Its thermal stability, thermosensitive thickening behavior, and salinity resistance were systematically investigated. Furthermore, the impact of TTSTC on the settling stability, rheological characteristics, and compressive strength of cement paste was assessed. The experimental findings demonstrated that TTSTC displayed noteworthy thermosensitive thickening properties at temperatures up to 279 °C, pH values ranging from 11 to 13, and NaCl/CaCl2concentrations between 0.05 and 0.5 g/L. The optimal performance of TTSTC was observed at mass fractions ranging from 0.6 to 0.8 wt%. When incorporated into the slurry at 0.6–1.0 wt%, TTSTC significantly improved the slurry settling stability, thickening properties, and 28d compressive strength at elevated temperatures compared with the control. When comparing the temperature-sensitive thickening performance of the newly developed treatment agent with that of the commercially available xanthan gum thickener, the results showed that for the cement slurry system containing the new treatment agent at a mass fraction of 0.6%, the reduction in consistency was 30.9% less than that of the cement slurry system with xanthan gum at a mass fraction of 0.6%. These findings indicate that TTSTC has the potential to function as a highly effective additive in cementing operations conducted in extreme environments, thereby enhancing the stability and dependability of such operations.
