The Tatu Supercomputer Will Use Artificial Intelligence Technology to Provide Solutions and Data to the State-Owned Company. With the Operations of the New Equipment, Petrobras Invests in Optimizing Its Exploration Ventures.

The state oil company Petrobras recently announced the start of operations of its newest High Performance Computer (HPC), the Tatu Supercomputer. Similar to the animal, the machine features high-performance technology with Artificial Intelligence that will allow the company to develop solutions and gather exploration data and production in an even more optimized way. According to the state-owned company, full operation at maximum capacity of the new computer should occur by the end of this month.

The Tatu is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the oil market, with processing capacity exceeding 2.4 Petaflops (Floating Point Operations Per Second), equivalent to 462 thousand cell phones or 12 thousand laptops, according to the state-owned company.

The supercomputer can perform complex simulations that will help the company explore and produce oil and gas more efficiently and sustainably.

The construction of the Tatu is part of Petrobras’s investment plan in technology and innovation. The company has been investing in other areas, such as artificial intelligence, big data, and robotics, to improve its operational efficiency and reduce costs.

The adoption of Artificial Intelligence for exploration solutions reinforces the company’s commitment to current technological advancements.

Furthermore, the Tatu can help Petrobras develop new technologies and solutions for the challenges faced by the oil and natural gas exploration industry, becoming a strong highlight for the company in the coming years.
