Luc deBoer has over 40 years of experience in the Oil & Gas Industry, of which 15 years in deep and ultra-deep water projects.
De Boer started his career in the Oil and Gas industry in 1975 with the Drilling Rig Contractor.

After leaving Phillips Petroleum in 1997 he started his own engineering company, de Boer invented and patented the Dilution Based Dual Gradient Drilling System, DGS in 2000.
DeBoer has spent over six years developing the basic tools of dilution-based dual gradient drilling, engineered and field tested the fundamental aspects of the DG separation process.
He has been granted eight patents. And in 2007, Transocean took on the dilution based dual gradient system for their CAPM project.
His education include a BS in mechanical engineering and professional memberships include SPE, IADC and AADE.
