Infrastructure developed in partnership with Petrobras enables multiscale and automated tomographic imaging of carbonate samples
The Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), a legal entity governed by private law linked to Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), and Petrobras have concluded the first phase of a technological partnership that will enable advances in exploration and expand research possibilities in oil and gas. The project basis is to use one of the research stations at Sirius, the largest and most complex scientific infrastructure in Brazil, to make 3D images of pre-salt rocks in an automated way, which is capable of quickly generating large volumes of data.
