This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250101808 titled 'PULSED POWER DRILLING WITH MULTIPLE SELECTIVE DRILLING FLUIDS
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus that is part of a drill string for drilling a wellbore in a subsurface formation, comprises a drill bit that includes at least one electrode coupled to a power source, the at least one electrode to periodically emit an electrical discharge based on electrical pulses received from the power source; and a first port to output a first type of drilling fluid having a dielectric that is different from a dielectric of a second type of drilling fluid to flow downhole for removal of cuttings, wherein the electrical discharge is to be transmitted through the first type of drilling fluid and through a rock of the subsurface formation.
