Abstract On the base of molecular structure design, we have synthesized hydrophobically associating water-soluble polymers. The solution properties of hydrophobically associating water-soluble polymer as a function of electrolytes concentration temperature and shear rate have been investigated. The enhance in oil recovery obtained in core flow experiment with the polymers solution is higher. This polymer is developed for use under hostile reservoir conditions.
