The process of Technology Selection in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry of Iran in terms of Spillover Effect from the perspective of Economic Profit

The selection, transfer and development of technology is one of the main pillars of the upstream oil and gas industry. The process of selecting technology in Iran, due to the type of ownership and special importance of oil and gas resources, is considered as one of the main components in the upstream part of this industry. Technology selection is a mechanism that aims to achieve economic benefits. In order to achieve effective technology, transfer in this industry, it seems necessary in terms of indirect effect in addition to its direct effect. One of these effects on technology transfer that must be considered is the issue of technology overflow. The present study is based on the study method, according to the rules and available resources, and in line with previous studies. Finally, the present study aims to develop a conceptual model of economic evaluation, a quantitative structure of transfer technology in terms of overflow effect. Lack of impact of overflow is one of the main reasons for lack of impact of technology transfer in the country. If the effect of overflow is applied in technical and economic calculations and contractual cases in the selection and transfer of technology, it can improve the effectiveness of technology at various levels of industry and even at the national level.
