Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a water-soluble branched sulfonated amphoteric polymer, for a water- based drilling fluid, wherein the polymer is obtained by precipitation polymerization, in a mixture of polar solvents, of at least one N,N'-dialkylacrylamide monomer and one sulfonic acid-containing monomer, in the presence of tetraallylammonium halide as branching agent. The invention also relates to a water-based drilling fluid for subterranean boreholes, including: - an aqueous fluid, said aqueous fluid being selected from sea water, brine, or salt-containing aqueous solution, - between 0.1 and 5.0 weight percent of the water-soluble branched sulfonated amphoteric polymer described above.
