History

Dutch Drilling Consultants was founded in 1987 by Ad Kamp under the name of Kamp Drilling Consultants. With experience on several projects and jobs for different Dutch offshore contractors such as Heerema, Ballast Nedam and the BAM a knowledgeable company was born.

First started as a drilling consultant specialized in reverse circulation drilling (RCD) with Pile Top Drill (PBA) rigs it slowly grew into a drilling service company offering complete drilling spreads with well trained personnel.

With projects in the late eighties and early nineties like the Oseberg Jacket in the Norwegian North Sea, King Fahd Causeway in the Persian Gulf, the Goodwyn A Platform in Australian waters and Boston Harbor Sewage DDC expanded its track record in different industries on different environmental locations all over the world. Starting as a young company working in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Australia in the Oil & Gas, marine and civil industry DDC gained its well known and highly appreciated name.

After acquisition of Drilcon Benelux in 1998 Kamp Drilling Consultants B.V. became Dutch Drilling Consultants B.V. A strategic merger to serve the client in the best possible way as DDC portfolio was then expanded with the representation of well esteemed companies like Wirth, Klemm and Häny.

Growing into different markets from oil & gas, marine construction, building construction and the offshore renewable industry since 2005 it is now an all-round company working in different industries. After working in the company for over a decade the second generation took over the company in 2015 keeping it a family owned company ready for the next thirty years of history.
