Disclosed herein are various embodiments of systems for drilling and operating an oil, gas, geothermal, or sequestration well or disposal reservoir which prevent formation damage in the reservoir, using underbalanced or near-balanced drilling techniques, wherein a jet pump reamer/stabilizer drilling assembly is used to create a low pressure zone around the drill bit. The design of this jet pump drilling reamer/stabilizer assembly limits the flow of drilling/power fluid through the drill bit. The drilling fluid circulation behind the drill bit is a conventional flow down the drill pipe and back up through the annulus. The drilling fluid circulation around and up through the drill bit is reverse circulation.
A system for drilling an oil, gas, geothermal, or sequestration well or waste disposal reservoir comprising;
