Life

Gubkin studied at the Ujesd Murom community school . In 1890 he graduated from a teacher training college and worked as a village teacher in Ujesd Murom. From 1895 to 1898 he studied at the Petersburg Teachers' Institute and then worked there as a teacher in a city school. He resumed his studies at the Petersburg Mining Institute and after graduating in 1910 worked at the Geological Institute. From 1917 to 1918 he went to the United States to study the oil industry and then joined the Oil Committee at Lenin's instigation . At the Moscow Mining Academy he worked as a professor from 1920 and as rector from 1922. In 1921 he joined the Communist Party . From 1920 to 1925 he acted as chairman of the special commission for the study of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly . In 1925 he set up a laboratory at the State Petroleum Research Institute for the exploration of deposits using geophysical methods. It formed the basis for other industrial and research institutes. Gubkin became a member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR in 1929 , its vice-president in 1936 and chairman of the Azerbaijani branch of the Academy of Sciences in 1937 . In 1930 he became director of the Department of Geology and Oil Reservoirs and was the rector of the Moscow Oil Institute. From 1931 he worked as head of the state geological management of the Supreme Council for National Economy and from 1930 to 1936 as president of the council "Study of the Productive Forces" of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. In 1937 he was elected President of the 17th session of the International Geological Congress held in Moscow. He was also a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

Gubkin focused on petroleum geology. His research on the formation of oil deposits in the North Caucasus served as the basis for search work in this area. He developed the theory of the laws governing the spread and formation of mud volcanoes and demonstrated their connection with oil fields. In his classic work Study of Petroleum (Russian Учение о нефти ) from 1932, he presented his ideas about the origin of petroleum and the conditions for the formation of deposits. He also worked on questions about primary and secondary oil deposits, the migration of petroleum and Gas, the classification of oil deposits and the laws of their distribution. Gubkin's work on establishing the oil base between the Volga and the Urals was of great theoretical and practical value . In his 1940 posthumously published work Erdölgebiet Ural-Volga (Russian Урало-Волжская нефтеносная область ) Gubkin showed industrial perspectives of a " second Baku ". With the direct participation of Gubkin, important decisions for the economic development of the country were decided, for example the mineral raw material base of the Ural- Kuznetsk combine, problems of the industrial development of Siberia , the Far East or Transcaucasia .

Gubkin is named for the Scaly Gubkina , a group of Nunatakkern in the Antarctic.
