Main factor determining the effectiveness of technology transfer in the development of Iran's oil fields by using conditional effectiveness model of technology transfer

Technology transfer as one of the paradigms of new era, is a process that helps the developing countries to implement the projects for the optimal operation of resources, to facilitate achieving the success in competition with other countries, and to provide economic development and growth in less developed countries technologically. The aim of this study was to determine the strategy for technology transfer in the upstream oil industry (oil fields development) of the Islamic Republic of Iran using the conditional effectiveness model of technology transfer. For this purpose, the views and attitudes of 30 executives and experts in the field of technology transfer including factors of technology transfer in developing the country oil fields, were investigated. In order to analyze the collected data, the SPSS software, Friedman & regression tests were used. The results showed that among the factors of transfer technology in the development of oil fields, the issue of transfer is at the highest priority, which among its sub criteria the scientific knowledge and physical technology have the highest priority. In estimating the present company technology, utilizing the high precision machinery and equipment is at highest level, and using the planning technologies, production coordination, the copy making of equipment and parts, and also the possibility of exercising the design changes for optimum use of available items are at the lowest level.
