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.
