Since 1993, KIDOVA specializes in different fields in the oil & gas, environment (soil, groundwater, air), geothermal and nuclear or hazardous waste disposal sectors. These fields include:

Geostatistics, spatial and spatiotemporal data analysis and modeling.
Characterization and upscaling of porous and naturally fractured rock properties.
Simulation of single and multiphase flows in porous and fractured media.
Mesh or grid generation and optimization.
Structural and geological modeling.

KIDOVA’s services cover:

Research and development, to elaborate innovative and efficient approaches often leading to scientific software solutions.
Consulting, to take in charge or to assist clients to carry out expert studies.
Training.

January 2021: We are pleased to announce that ADEME has contracted KIDOVA to load into the SoilRemediation Suite 35-year of data and study results of one of the big contaminated site they have to manage. The SoilRemediation Suite has been chosen by ADEME as a relevant 3D software solution for management, visualization, sharing and perpetuation of data and study results.

June-Aug. 2019: we had the pleasure to work with Orlando Reis Neto, MSc student in petroleum engineering at Imperial College, for an internship on the project "Investigation of local and spatial indicators to parameterize the space of uncertainty of geostatistically simulated reservoir properties for history matching", supervised by Prof. O. Gosselin, Dr. M. Garcia, J.B. Mathieu and Dr. F. Garcia. Project reference: GEOTREF.

13-17 May 2019: new five-day course in geostatistics applied to contaminated soils and sites delivered by KIDOVA in the Mastère Spécialisé "Decommissioning industriel" of INSA Rouen using the SoilRemediation Suite for practical work.

Nov. 2018: article in Geological Society London Special Publications. Identification of log-units in clay-rock formations based on local and spatial statistics of well-log properties...

Nov. 2018: KIDOVA referenced as partner of Paradigm / Emerson in the environmental and geothermal fields. See http://www.pdgm.com/affiliations/alliances
