Oil plugging of the downhole during oilfield development leads to a decline in well yield. A new plug removal method based on pulsed high-voltage discharge technology was proposed in this paper to solve this plugging problem. A low-carbon steel high-pressure sealed drum was developed to simulate a downhole operating environment with high static pressure. Four sealed contact pins were designed on the drum cover. These pins were used to insert the high-voltage cable into the drum body while ensuring the drum is leakproof. The maximum static pressure borne by the drum was 40 MPa. An experimental system of pulsed high-voltage discharge was designed based on the drum. A platform for the discharging experiment was established according to the system principle diagram. The effects of variation in static pressure on discharging voltage, discharging current, critical breakdown field strength, discharging time and its data discretization, and other parameters were determined with water and crude oil as the discharging media. Experimental results indicate that increasing static pressure increases discharging time, enhances pulsed discharging randomness, reduces the strength of impact waves generated in the discharging media, and weakens the fracture-generating effect on the cement tube. Increasing the working voltage achieves better plug removal. However, the requirements for size, texture, and insulativity of plug removal equipment are elevated accordingly. This study provides a basis for the application of pulsed high-voltage discharge technology in oil reservoir plug removal.
