The coronavirus tests purchased by Petrobras will be imported from the United States and are expected to arrive in Brazil this month. Petrobras announced the creation of a multidisciplinary group of professionals from its research center – Cenpes to evaluate and propose solutions in partnership with universities, companies and institutions that can help combat the new coronavirus.
In addition, part of the company's two supercomputers will have their capacity used to perform high-speed simulations in research on the coronavirus. The partnership with the Chemistry Institute at Stanford University (USA) will allow operations to be carried out with a technological capacity equivalent to that of 3 million laptops. 60% of the Santos Dumont supercomputer's capacity and 50% of the OGBON's capacity will be used.
