Anthony F. Lucas Gold Medal

Established in 1936 as the Society's major technical award, this medal recognizes distinguished achievement in improving the technique and practice of finding and producing petroleum.

The Anthony F. Lucas Gold Medal recognizes new technology and concepts in the practice of finding or producing petroleum. The Lucas Medal may be given to a nonmember of the Society. The candidate must be living, able and willing to accept the medal personally. The death of a person after May 1 of the year of nomination, however, does not render a candidate ineligible.
