    Abstract: A method for supplying, via an electrical interface, an output electrical power to an electrical load that is downhole in a borehole formed in a subsurface formation, includes generating mechanical energy from a flow of a fluid being delivered into the borehole; converting the mechanical energy into an input electrical power; storing the input electrical power into a primary capacitor, wherein the input electrical power has a variance that is greater than a variance threshold. The method includes performing the following operations while continuing to generate the mechanical energy generated from the flow of the fluid, in response to determining that at least one load criteria is satisfied, discharging the input electrical power from the primary capacitor to the electrical load to power a downhole operation by the electrical load.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises an electrode assembly positioned at a bottom end of a pulse power drill string to be positioned in a borehole formed in a subsurface formation. The electrode assembly comprises multiple electrodes, wherein at least a subset of the multiple electrodes is to periodically emit a pulse of an electrical discharge into the subsurface formation to drill the borehole. The electrode assembly comprises a controller configured to alter a direction of drilling of the borehole based on selection of the subset from the multiple electrodes, wherein an effective attribute of at least one electrode of the multiple electrodes is different than the effective attribute of other electrodes of the multiple electrodes, wherein the effective attribute comprises at least one of a shape and a size.

    Abstract: A method includes directionally drilling, with a pulse power drill string, of a borehole into a subsurface formation using pulse power. The directionally drilling comprises generating, by an electrical source, an electrical energy and storing, by a primary capacitor, the electrical energy. The method includes periodically discharging the electrical energy from the primary capacitor to be received by a switching device having a number of outputs, wherein each output of the number of outputs is electrically coupled to an electrode of a number of electrodes positioned on an electrode assembly; and unevenly distributing, by the switching device, the electrical energy across the number of electrodes based on selecting a subset of the number of electrodes to receive the electrical energy to alter a direction of the drilling of the borehole based on emitting of the electrical energy by the selected subset of the number of electrodes into the subsurface formation.

    Abstract: The useful life of a downhole tool is improved through application of an ultrasonic impact treatment. In an example method, operational parameters of an ultrasonic impact treatment device are selected based upon the one or more physical characteristics of the downhole tool. The ultrasonic impact treatment device is configured to correspond to the selected operational parameters. A residual compressive stress layer is then induced along a surface of the downhole tool using the configured ultrasonic impact treatment device, thereby improving the useful life of the downhole tool.
