Throughout my career, I have attended much technical training provided by international service and training companies. However, I should say this one was really one of the most advanced and serious training supported by real case studies of ERD wells drilled all over the world. I strongly suggest MERLIN ERD&rsquo;s training to all drilling and directional drilling engineer also to Company men supervising horizontal\/high angle wells. It will change the attitude of drilling horizontal wells with vertical drilling practices.
