Tala Maria Aabø

Tala Maria Aabø serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science, specializing in geological and geophysical reservoir characterization with emphasis on chalk formations and subsurface temperature dynamics.

Education:

• PhD in Geoscience (2018-2023), University of Copenhagen: "Fractures and their influence on Fluid Flow in Chalk"
• Master of Science in Sedimentary Basins (2013-2015), University of Copenhagen: "Modelling of Subsurface Temperatures - An Investigation of Bottom Hole Temperatures in the Norwegian North Sea"

Research Focus: Dr. Aabø's work integrates digital outcrop modeling, ground penetrating radar, and seismic interpretation for fracture characterization in onshore (Rørdal Quarry) and offshore (Kraka Field) chalk reservoirs. Her temperature modeling research develops empirical equations for static formation temperature correction using bottom hole data, supported by key competencies in data integration, workflow development, and scenario analysis.

Publication Trends: Her 2016-2023 outputs reveal concentrated expertise in chalk reservoir fracture networks and North Sea temperature modeling, featuring innovative methodologies like ant-tracked RGB seismic for structural enhancement and DFM algorithms for dynamic fracture simulation.

Awards: No scientific awards documented in source materials.

Advising & Grants: Available text provides no details regarding student supervision or research funding.

Collaborative Projects: Currently concluding the "Chalk Outcrop Analogue Potential" work package (AWF1) with DTU Offshore/Danish Underground Consortium, building on prior work with Kraka, Dan, and Halfdan fields in the Danish North Sea.
