    摘要: An electric impulse drilling system is disclosed comprising a drill string, a bottom hole assembly (BHA) (400) coupled to the drill string. The BHA (400) comprises a motor (402) configured rotate, a power generator (408) configured to generate electrical power from the rotation of the motor (402), a high voltage generator (412) configured to generate a high voltage from the electrical power generated by the power generator (408), at least two electrodes (102, 104) configured to discharge the high voltage from the high voltage generator (412) through a downhole formation, and one or more quantum particle or quantum particle information detectors (520). The one or more quantum particle or quantum particle information detectors (520) are disposed within at least one of the at least two electrodes (102, 104) configured to interpret quantum particles displaced by the discharge of the high voltage through the downhole formation.
