Designing a Specific Model for Technology Transfer in Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Sectors

Latecomer players in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries should betechnology holder in order to be competitive, and, in this context, catchingup is mandatory for technological development.In this work, we have attempted to develop a process model for technologytransfer in oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, which includes threestages of "decision making, technology transfer, and knowledge acquisition.The model is derived from the literature survey and developed based on theexperiences while necessary elements are added to resolve the problems. Soas to validate the model, demercaptanization distillate (DMD) technologytransfer at Research Institute of Petroleum Industry (RIPI) was evaluated asa case study.
