Alexei Emiljewitsch Kontorowitsch ( Russian Алексей Эмильевич Конторович ; born January 28, 1934 in Charkow ) is a Russian geologist and geochemist .

Life

After graduating from Tomsk State University in 1956, Kontorowitsch joined the Siberian Research Institute for Geology , Geophysics and Mineral Resources in Novosibirsk as an engineer , where he was promoted to scientific employee, laboratory manager and department head. In 1971 he received his doctorate in geological and mineralogical sciences . In 1989 he became Vice Director of the Institute and General Director of the United Institute of Geology, Geophysics and Mineralogy of the Siberian Department (SO) of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) (since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)). In 1990 he became a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR and in 1991 a real member of the RAN.

In 1997 Kontorowitsch became director of the SO-RAN Institute for Petroleum Geology in Novosibirsk, which in 2006 became the SO-RAN Trofimuk Institute for Petroleum-Natural Gas Geology and Geophysics . Since his retirement he has been scientific director of the institute and advisor to RAN. To this end, he is the scientific director of the Institute for Coal, founded in 1983 in the Federal Research Center for Coal and Coal Chemistry of SO-RAN in Kemerovo, which was founded in 2015 .

Kontorowitsch made significant contributions to the theoretical and applied geology and geochemistry of petroleum and natural gas. The focus was on the formation of the oil and gas deposits in Siberia and their evolution. On the basis of his results, he developed methods for predicting deposits. With him, complex programs for the systematic investigation of the geological conditions in Eastern and Western Siberia and in Yakutia were carried out from 1970 to 1980 . A particular success was the confirmation of the theoretical ideas about the oil and natural gas potential of the Precambrian, developed together with Andrei Alexejewitsch Trofimuk and others, using the example of the Siberian craton .

Kontorowitsch is married to Ekaterina Alexandrovna and has two sons, Andrei and Vladimir , who succeeded his father.

A deposit in Tomsk Oblast was named after Kontorovich.
