How it works

MaxWell™ magnetizes downhole casing to boost its passive magnetic signature, complementing EverReady™ PMR by aligning the casing’s magnetic domains and removing the inconsistency left by manufacturing, enhancing the signal by up to 2× for greater detection range and accuracy.

Steel casing carries a random distribution of magnetic domains from manufacturing, which weakens and scrambles the passive signal that ranging tools rely on. MaxWell™ magnetically aligns the casing to remove that inconsistency, so the target can be detected at maximum range.

The result is a cleaner, stronger passive signature, enhancing detection by up to 2×, that pairs directly with EverReady™ no-access passive magnetic ranging. The magnetism is long-lasting, persisting for years across multiple operations.

Because it needs no special handling procedures, MaxWell™ is a practical, cost-effective way to extend detection, and it is especially valuable in difficult environments such as extensive salt formations, where traditional active ranging methods can be ineffective.
