Pulse power drilling fluids comprising a base fluid solution of a low viscosity ester and an alkylene carbonate in an amount that is soluble in the ester are provided. The pulse power drilling fluids provide excellent properties for use in pulse-power drilling, e.g., a high dielectric constant, a high dielectric strength, lower viscosity and lower conductivity than current pulse-power drilling fluids. Methods of using the pulse power drilling fluids are also described. |
