Nowadays Supply chains are highly vulnerable and prone to various risks due to the geographical expanse and the complexity of communication networks. Sustainability in supply chains is increasingly seen as part of supply chain management. sustainability has become a necessity and every supply chain needs sustainability. However supply chain have the breadth and complexity of indicators. This purpose of this paper is to provide a model for was designed to evaluate the impact of the sustainable supply chain on organizational performance and Efficiency in the National Iranian South petroleum Company .This study consist of two quantitative study and qualitative stage by designing several questions and using a mix research method. In the qualitative stage using grounded theory methods following a systematic review of the literature on sustainable supply chain management and its adaptation to the local needs of the sustainable supply chain in the country oil industry. The statistical population of the research included all employees of the NISOC with an unlimited number, of which 384 subjects were randomly selected as samples. In this study, a questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. The questionnaire designed in this research is based on a 5-point Likert scale. . the research hypotheses were tested using SmartPLS software. According to the results, the organizational performance and efficiency in the NISOC are affected by the variables of green supply chain, industry supply chain, macro policies, socioeconomic factors, organizational factors, political factors, technology, manufactured products, customers, and supply chain failures .

Knowledge and technology can be used as a capability to gain business benefits in organizations. In this regard, in addition to the use of technology in the production of products, technology commercialization to transfer technology to other organizations is considered a practical approach to gain business benefits. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify and prioritize commercialization components in Iran’s gas and oil industry to transfer technology to other industries and organizations since there are high potentials to commercialize and transfer technology in this industry. After reviewing the previous literature and interviewing experts using semi-structured questions and the snowball sampling method, 46 attributes were detected and classified as 10 main components. Then, the confirmatory factor analysis method in SMART PLS software confirmed the 44 attributes in 10 components. Shannon's entropy method and WASPAS method were used to weigh and prioritize the extracted components. As a result of this research, the three main priorities of importance in the components of commercialization were identified the “enterprise capabilities of technology transfer”, “technological capabilities and resources”, and “independent technology commercialization strategies in the oil and gas industry” respectively.

Understanding the oil policies of Beijing and New Delhi as the main actors on the energy market of the Middle East is paramount for the main oil producing countries. By carrying out a comparative analysis of variables in the Delhi-Beijing oil policies in the Middle East, the present article will ask the question of how domestic, regional, and international variables are affecting the Chinese and Indian oil policies in this region. The authors have compared the following key variables in answer to this question: the legal structure and decision-making process, self-sufficiency levels, geopolitical position towards the Middle East, oil diplomacy, the role of technology, and the international economic-political position of the two countries. The findings of the article show that the government in Beijing has formulated its oil policy using a single, specific decision-making body in the energy sector. It has relied on expanding multilateral ties with other countries, long-term investments, long-term loans, expanding pipelines for energy transfer, and long-term contracts to deepen its relations with oil rich countries, in particular those in West Asia. India, on the other hand, has based its diplomacy on short-term economic contracts and situation analysis and needs assessment. It is, however, clear that both countries will continue to depend on oil from the Middle East in the medium-term despite the threat of US sanctions.

Therefore, this study, understanding the importance of independence functions in the audit profession, seeks to identify the characteristics of inertia as a stimulus for independence in auditing Petrochemical Industry in order to act on its interpretive ranking. This research is mix method due to the nature of data collection, because first through interviews to identify the characteristics of inertia in the auditing profession and then through the checklists of the pair scale, to determine the interpretive ranking. Accordingly, in the qualitative part, is used the grounded theory and in the quantitative part are used, Delphi analysis and the interpretive ranking process. The statistical population in the qualitative section were 12 auditing professionals who, in terms of theoretical knowledge, had the necessary capabilities to develop the concept studied in this study, which were selected through theoretical sampling based on the snowball technique. The statistical population in a Quantitative part were 19 auditors with work experience in Petrochemical Industry and level of technical and specialized knowledge who was selected through homogeneous sampling. The results of the research in the qualitative part indicate the existence of 3 categories, 8 components and 35 concept codes that have laid the inertial features in the auditing profession in the form of an 8-dimensional integrated model.

The global economy is expanding at a drastic pace and energy is fundamental to nearly all economic activities and modern standards of living. Sustaining oil supply is a profound challenge in the oil and gas industry. One of the ways the industry is now looking to sustain supply is through the development of oil rim which was once seen in the past as un-commercial because of technology. Developing oil rim has its own opportunities and challenges which this study has focused on. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and viability of oil rim development, the opportunities and challenges associated with it, and the factors that could affect its economical viability. Troll Oilfield in Norwegian continental shelf was used as a case study because it is an oil rim field. The economic analysis that was carried out was based on historical production data of Troll oilfield. Deterministic approach was used which involved both cash flow and sensitivity analysis. Based on the results from the economical analysis that was carried out, oil rim development is marginally economical and viable but on certain conditions (low CAPEX and high oil price). The type of technology used in developing oil rim determines the efficiency and economical feasibility of the development. The outcome of this study shows that, technology has actually made oil rim development possible which was once seen as un-commercial in the past and also oil price is the main determinant of the viability of oil rim development.

As one of the mother industries, the petrochemical industry is one of the most important pillars of development and the driving engine of various sectors of the country's economy. This industry will achieve several important goals such as increasing export income, expanding downstream industries, creating jobs, and increasing GDP. This importance has been emphasized in the country's upstream documents, such as the general policies of the resistance economy, focusing on the development of petroleum refineries, to prevent the vulnerability of oil and gas revenues by developing the value chain and increasing the export of these products. The current thesis aims to investigate the value chain of the petrochemical industry with the new approach of petrochemical refineries, as well as the pathology and evaluation of the current state of the aforementioned chains in the country with the descriptive research method and the library method using policy research. The results of the research show that the chain of petrochemical products with the approach of creating petrochemical refineries has relatively high advantages compared to focusing on chains with the traditional approach.
