Zusammenfassung:Plasma-pulsed hydraulic fracture system with carbonaceous slurry is described. The system includes a hydraulic fluid pumping unit and a plasma pulsing tool. The pumping unit can pump hydraulic fracturing fluid to a downhole location in a wellbore formed in a hydrocarbon reservoir. A hydraulic fracture is to be initiated at the downhole location. The pumping unit can pump the fracturing fluid at a hydraulic fluid pressure sufficient to initiate and propagate the hydraulic fracture from the downhole location into the hydrocarbon reservoir. The plasma pulsing tool is positioned at the downhole location. The tool can generate and transmit a plasma pulse to the downhole location. The plasma pulse can increase the hydraulic fluid pressure of the hydraulic fracturing fluid.
