Abstract:
During pulse power drilling, the formation rock type is determined by analyzing organic and inorganic chemical reaction products. Plasma pulses interact with the solid rock of the formation to shift downhole chemical reactions. The formation type may act as a catalyst or an inhibitor to enhance or degrade reactions. The concentration of organic and inorganic chemical reaction products is determined by analyzing the reactions occurring at the drill bit. From the concentrations, the formation rock type is determined.
