Abstract: A cationic copolymer represented by the following formula (I) has a viscosity average molecular weight in a range from 2 million to 10 million. In the cationic copolymer, the mole fractions of three structural units corresponding to three monomers are as follows: x being in a range from 0.01 to 20%, y being in a range from 0 to 15%, and z=1?x?y. When used in the construction of leaking stoppage in an oil well, a cationic chemical lost circulation additive prepared with the cationic copolymer is mixed with an anionic drilling fluid in a section of the wellbore where lost circulation occurs. Then neutral reaction and cross linking reaction occur, so that the viscosity of the resulting mixture rapidly increases to form a space grid structure. This blocks off the leakage path, and thus effects on efficient leaking stoppage in a short time period.
