A drill bit made according to one embodiment includes a bit body and at least one preloaded sensor in the bit body. In one aspect, the sensor may include a sensor element on a sensor body having a first end and a second end and wherein the sensor is preloaded after placing the sensor body in the bit body. In another aspect, the sensor may be preloaded outside the bit body and then placed in the bit body in a manner that enables the sensor to retain the preloading. |

A method of forming a wellbore with a drill string and that includes continuously and automatically measuring a TARE value of the drill string. The TARE value of the drill string is measured while the drill string is rotating, fluid is circulating in the drill string, and after the drill string has been axially stationary for a set period of time. The TARE value is designated as an average of the measured hook load over the latter half of the set period of time. Knowing the measured TARE value and a designated weight on bit (“WOB”) of the drill string, a hook load for supporting the drill string is calculated. Matching the force applied that supports the drill string to the calculated hook load results in an actual WOB that matches the designated WOB. |

Methods for automatically determining off bottom drillstring torque. The methods include receiving data regarding a number of drilling parameters characterizing a wellbore drilling operation, wherein the plurality of drilling parameters include a surface torque, a drillstring rotary speed (RPM, revolutions per minute), a weight on bit (WOB), a hole depth, or a bit depth, or any combinations thereof. The surface torque is recorded as an off-bottom drillstring torque data point if: the bit depth is less than the hole depth; the RPM is within a target range; and the WOB is less than a threshold value. The off-bottom drillstring torque is calculated as a function of depth from a plurality of off-bottom drillstring torque data points. |

A drillstring comprising a length of drillpipes and a bottomhole assembly disposed at a downhole end of the length of drillpipes. The bottomhole assembly comprises a transition section proximal to the end of the length of drillpipes to reduce vibration of the bottomhole assembly during drilling. The transition section varies gradually in acoustic impedance between the acoustic impedance of the drillstring above the transition section and the acoustic impedance of the bottomhole assembly below the transition section. The transition section forms at least thirty percent (30%) of the total length of the bottomhole assembly. |
