The Stanley Slipper Gold Medal is amongst the highest honours awarded by the Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists (CSPG). The Stanley Slipper Gold Medal was established in 1989 and is named for Mr. Stanley E. Slipper (1890-1982) who was the Alberta Society of Petroleum Geologists' first President and a pioneer of early exploration efforts in Alberta. The medal is presented annually for outstanding contributions to petroleum exploration and development either in Canada or by Canadian-based petroleum geologists working internationally. In contrast to other CSPG awards, the Stanley Slipper Award recognizes, in part, accomplishments in business and in the broader petroleum industry through the application of the knowledge of petroleum geology.
