In order to create an improved fracturing fluid, an organic amine boron composite crosslinker (ABC‐1) was prepared from boric acid, triethylenetetramine, ethylene glycol, and mannitol. It has no irritating smell and its synthesis is simple, making it suitable for large‐scale field applications. To illustrate the advantages of the new crosslinker, it was compared to the organic borate crosslinker prepared from boric acid, ethylene glycol, and mannitol. The sand‐carrying capacities, micronetwork structure, and rheological behaviors of fluids with these crosslinkers were investigated at 90, 100, and 110 °C. The results show that the additional BN r covalent bond in the ABC‐1 crosslinker leads to the formation of a denser network structure making it possible to reduce the amount of thickener by about 10%. The temperature resistance could also be enhanced at least 10 °C. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019, 136, 47675.
