Abstract
An apparatus for magnetizing a wellbore tubular includes a plurality of co-axial magnetizing coils deployed on a frame. The coils are typically deployed about a track on which the tubular may be traversed. Exemplary embodiments may further include a magnetic field sensor disposed to measure the imparted magnetic field along the length of the tubular as it is removed from the track after magnetization. Exemplary embodiments of this invention provide for semi-automated control of tubular magnetization and thereby enable a repeatable magnetic pattern to be imparted to each of a large number of wellbore tubulars.
