Each year APPEA invites nominations for the award of the Lewis G. Weeks Gold Medal which commemorates the contribution to the Australian petroleum industry of Dr Lewis Weeks, who epitomised the purpose of the medal by his pioneering work in Bass Strait.
To become eligible for consideration for the award, a candidate must have made an outstanding contribution to the art, science and practice of petroleum exploration which in turn has materially encouraged or stimulated the climate for exploring for and producing oil and gas in Australia by either:
- The successful application of exploration techniques.
- The development of improved exploration methods.
- Substantial contributions through teaching or administration.
