Technology transfer in the oil industry in developing countries faces many obstacles due to cultural, economic, and political barriers. Therefore, besides preparing the existing infrastructure, the technology transfer process should be undertaken with a managerial focus. On the other hand, as far as the more effective transfer of imported technology is concerned, Iran's oil industry faces political constraints related to economic sanctions in addition to cultural and economic constraints. In this study, an attempt was made to identify critical variables affecting technology transfer in the Iranian oil industry by the qualitative method using the content analysis technique. The relevant literature review is in the form of a library study. The technology transfer approach in the Iranian oil industry has been based on classifying and presenting the structure based on previous research. An interview with a group of oil industry experts, sampled by the judgmental and snowball techniques, was conducted to review and answer the research question. Finally, the final qualitative model of the research was designed based on causal factors, intervening context, leader, and outcome.

Considering the long-term nature of oil and gas contracts, managing the relationship between the parties to the contract is fundamentally important. In upstream oil contracts, according to the level of supervision and control of the host state over the petroleum project, the level of communication is variable. In risk service contracts due to extensive supervision, there should be a lot of interaction and cooperation between the parties. This study examines Kuwait's model of technical assistance services contracts. It concludes that, due to its improved cooperative structure, this format of service contracts is more compatible with current conditions in Iran's oil fields, such as southern Pars. These fields are operated by Iranian oil companies, but need more technology to function properly. In this article, it is discussed how Technical Assistance Contracts (TACs) can generate an efficient solution for the issue at hand. The methodology is based on describing and analyzing Kuwait’s TAC.

the formation of the current legal system is a function and is influenced by a basic element called time. An element that influences not only the formation of the legal system, but also its evolution.so, the legal system in the Iranian oil industry began with a contract and not with the legislation of a law. In relation to the term "contractual framework", it seems necessary to explain that the contractual framework refers to the criteria which give the contracts such a feature that it distinguishes that contract and similar contracts from other contracts concluded in that field. What were these contracts? How did they form the legal system of the Iranian oil industry? What has been their impact on technology transfer in the oil industry? These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this work. Disappointment with the framework of previous agreements (concession agreements), along with socio-political contexts such as the nationalization of the oil industry, led to a re-examination of this industry's contract frameworks in the light of past experiences, better future benefits and national independence and sovereignty. But how successful it was, that is another matter. Because the oil companies did not simply want to transfer the maximum benefits to the countries with oil resources, and used the dependence of those countries to their industry as a tactic against this trend as much as possible. Therefore, the structure of contracts governing the oil industry should be considered as a result of this conflict of interests.

The urgent need to provide capital from developing countries and improve the level of technology has made it necessary to attract foreign investment. FDI can respond to this need as an inflow of capital, technology, and technical know-how. The present study investigated the role of FDI attraction determinants through a technology transfer approach comprehensively and coherently. This research was conducted using a quantitative paradigm and a cross-sectional survey among experts. The statistical population consisted of Iranian experts, practitioners, and executives in investment and economics. The convenience sampling method was used to study 310 members of the statistical population. A researcher-made questionnaire was also used for data collection. The validity was determined using experts' views, and its reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha within a pre-test (n=20). Data were analyzed through the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method in Smartpls 3 software. The hierarchical component analysis (using two orders of constructs) was used to reduce the complexity of the structural model. The results showed that "international relations and agreements" as a primary variable correlated with FDI attraction, and "bureaucracy and domestic laws" significantly affected FDI attraction. In addition, the results indicate that "sanctions, "economic stability and security," and "workforce" are among the economic components that play a less significant role in FDI attraction.
