A method of extending an earthen bore comprises the steps of rotating a drill bit at the end of a tubular while vibrating the tubular. The method results in reduced friction to tubular advance through the bore and results in stabilized drill bit loading and longer usable drill bit life. A method of conditioning a cement slurry in an annulus between a casing and a bore to improve a resulting cement liner comprises the steps of coupling a vibration generator to the casing, running the casing into the bore, displacing the cement slurry into the annulus and using the vibration generator to vibrate the casing. A vibration generator may comprise a mass, having a mass center, coupled to a frame, a motor and a power source to spin the mass about an axis offset from the mass center.
