Technical expertise to support your projects worldwide
The CVA group brings more than 30 years of experience in assisting industrial partners to deliver successful projects.
As your partner, CVA can help identify competences, act as an umbrella company, offer technical assistance and provide consulting and project management services.
Our expertise is multi-disciplinary and spans the entire chain, from data acquisition to synthesis, including information processing, data management, interpretation and integration.
Geologists
Geologists conduct subsurface studies using field data (outcrops, surveys, cores, logs, seismic data). Digital tools are increasingly used to create subsurface models, synthetize results and interact with other disciplines (drilling, reservoir engineering, hydrogeology). Geologists are involved in all areas related to geo-resources, and knowledge and protection of the subsurface.
Geophysicists
Geophysicists use non-destructive investigation methods to obtain images of the subsurface. Depending on the depth of the objective, the desired resolution and the imaging target, they select the appropriate method, define the acquisition and processing strategy, and produce an interpretation.
Petrophysicists
Petrophysicists are specialists in determining the physical properties of rocks based on cores and logs. In particular, they calculate porosities, permeabilities, saturations and identify the type of fluids in place. As specialists, they mainly deal with geological reservoirs (fossil fuels and storage, deep geothermal energy).
Geotechnicians
Geotechnicians determine the behavioural properties of rocks by using field measurements (geotechnical drilling and sampling, pressuremeter tests, penetrometer tests, compaction) or by conducting various laboratory experiments on samples (creep, resistance to stress…). Their work helps improve the understanding of the near-surface subsoil, mainly in the areas of buildings, infrastructures, the environment and natural hazards.
Geochemists
Geochemists collect, analyze and interpret the nature and distribution of chemical elements in soils, rocks and fluids. They can trace the origin, age and history of minerals (mineral geochemistry) and/or those of hydrocarbons and water (organic geochemistry). Geochemists are especially in demand in the areas of fossil fuels, deep geothermal energy, water resources and environmental studies.
Reservoir engineers
Reservoir engineers study the dynamic behaviour of reservoirs (oil and gas bearing, storage, geothermal) using simulations and interpreting and integrating production data. They are involved in reservoir exploitation activities: development planning, monitoring, production forecasting and optimization.
Hydrologists / Hydrogeologists
Hydrogeologists study groundwater, in particular aquifers, from a static point of view (reservoir formation) as well as a dynamic point of view. They interpret well data (characteristics of the water, pumping tests) and simulate flow. They are involved in quantifying, producing and protecting water resources. In the case of aquifer storage or deep geothermal projects, their activities are close to those of a reservoir engineer. Hydrologists study surface water. They observe and measure precipitation, river flows, water runoff, infiltration and evaporation, and the impact of anthropogenic activities. They are involved in the areas of planning, natural hazards and the environment.
Environmental engineers
Environmental engineers predict and measure the environmental impact of development. They propose preventive or curative solutions to control pollution, reduce noise pollution and manage waste. Those solutions are defined in accordance with regulations and must be compatible with urban and industrial planning. Environmental engineers thus also act as an interface between companies, local authorities, government agencies, associations and regional Directorates of Ministries. Environmental engineers are consequently involved in all areas affected by sustainable development and they assist all industrial development projects.
Geomatics professionals / Topographers
Geomatics is a discipline incorporating geography and computer science. Geomatics professionals deal with geolocation data. They are involved in the fields of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). They are familiar with the different projection systems and can align geographic data to produce intelligent maps that are used for results synthesis, communication and decision-making. Geomatics professionals can have a dual expertise (e.g. geology and geomatics), which allows them to examine critically the data they manage. Topographers handle terrain topographical data, mainly to create maps and feed GIS (Geographic Information Systems). The fields of applications are very varied: urban planning, environment, transport, energy, sustainable development, marketing, health, etc.

Process industries operate continuously as they employ physicochemical processes to produce large quantities of high quality base materials.
Those materials are part of the composition of numerous everyday objects and products (e.g.: fuels, polymers, food-processing...).
Outdoor operators
Outdoor operators are skilled workers of the process industry. They monitor the functioning of the outdoor equipment, start up and shut down machines, and ensure that the plant is operating safely.
Console operators
Console operators are technicians who run the production facilities from a central digital console. They work together with the outdoor operators. They can also be called system or panel operators depending on the production sites.
Polyvalent operators
Polyvalent operators are skilled workers who shut down and restart production installations. They must be able to sample and analyze raw materials and products.
Chief operators
Chief operators are experienced supervisors who coordinate the activities of the operators in their teams (outdoor, polyvalent and console operators). Their objective is to run the production facilities in accordance with instructions, in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way.
Laboratory chemists and technicians
Laboratory technicians are specialized technicians who run analyses, interpret them, and manage and communicate the results. They also help keep analytical instruments in good working order.
Maintenance supervisors and technicians
Maintenance supervisors ensure that maintenance work is carried out smoothly by factory workers or contract workers, in order to guarantee the availability and reliability of the equipment needed for production operations.
Instrument technicians
Instrument technicians are specialized in the maintenance of field instruments, digital control systems and programmable controllers. They coordinate and monitor the activities to ensure that the work is successfully conducted, in accordance with safety and environmental rules and in keeping with specifications. They liaise between maintenance and operator teams. This role requires a good knowledge of the installations, the equipment offered by providers and maintenance contracts.
Process engineer in an engineering company
He sizes the units (equipment, instrumentation, piping) in the fields of chemistry, bio-processes, oil and gas surface processing. He simulates and optimizes operation of the units, he participates in various project reviews.
Commissioning & start up engineer / technician
He ensures that the plant was built according to plans. He is involved in the different phases of starting the unit until the final reception by the customer.
Production engineer / technician
He supports the production manager, ensures day to day technical management of the unit and is the liaison with development, research, logistics and other departments.
