Yusuf Abubakar, PhD
@yusufabubakar.bsky.social
Chartered Geochemist and Geologist specialising in subsurface and petroleum systems, CCUS and carbon removal and storage, delivering low carbon energy and decarbonisation at scale.
2026 begins with clarity.

Discipline set the foundation. Standards held. Decisions deliberate. Work done properly.

Momentum followed preparation. Progress required no announcement.

I enter the year focused, accountable, and operating at the level the work demands.

A strong start to the year.

Synchrotron #X-ray imaging & #XANES reveal Fe–S speciation in organic-rich mudstones.

Redox and reactive Fe flux drove carbon preservation via sulfurisation, competing with pyrite formation, across the Kimmeridge, Monterey & Whitby formations.

Spatially resolved X-ray imaging and molecular characterisation of sulfur and iron in organic- and sulfur-rich hydrocarbon source mudstones
Sulfurisation of organic matter (OM) is a prominent preservation mechanism, however iron sulfide precipitation, particularly pyrite (FeS2), can counte…
