Strategic planning of technology in Iran's oil industry has a long history, however, the knowledge-based sectors of the oil industry, despite their different characteristics, have been less exposed to such experiences, and hence the study of the experience in one of the key sub-sectors of this industry, namely the exploration geochemical sector, can be innovative. This article seeks to answer three questions: Technological targets of Iran's oil industry in the field of exploration geochemistry with an emphasis on petroleum systems modeling? Technology priorities in this field in the next 10 years? And the right way to realize these priorities? Using the roadmapping as a tool, the technology tree of this sector was drawn and the technology priorities were identified and based on the criteria of attractiveness (including technical and commercial criteria) and capability, they were ranked. Also, in a ten-year schedule and in the form of nine research projects, the path to achieving these technologies was determined.

The oil industry, as one of the main industries of the country, has always faced cyber attacks and security threats. Therefore, the integration of information security in corporate governance is essential and a governance challenge. The integration of information security and corporate governance is called information security governance. In this research, we identified "critical success factors" in the implementation of information security by using metasynthesis method and studying sources related to information security. Because before any planning and policy making in the field of information security governance, it is necessary to pay attention to this category. In the following, we classified these factors based on the focus areas of information security governance, which include strategic alignment with business strategies; risk management; resource management; performance measurement ; value delivery. The output will be an approach for the successful and effective implementation of information security governance, especially in the oil industry.

The present article tries to design the present topic from the perspective of qualitative strategy and take advantage of the content analysis and research data using semi-structured interviews with several experts in the field of oil industry and selected using the theoretical sampling method. The theme network method has been analyzed and described through the process of theoretical coding in order to discover the basic, organized themes and model design. The findings of the research showed that out of four overarching themes: 1- Non-fulfillment of the rule of law in dealing with corruption 2- Existence of systematic corruption in the oil industry 3- Management weakness in the oil industry 4- Lack of sense of belonging and responsibility of citizens in dealing with corruption It has been considered and two evaluation methods have been used in the communication method and reliability audit with repeatability and generalize ability

Lack of information resources, lack of transparency, and lack of accurate determination of the actual costs of products and services have led to a waste of resources in the executive apparatus, and this is one of the obstacles to sustainable development. Accurate cost is the basis of financial transparency, performance appraisal, and management accountability. In addition, many companies in the world today, in response to the demand of stakeholders and increasing the responsiveness of communities, publish information about their environmental, social, and leadership performance, which is known as sustainability reporting.In this research, an attempt has been made to address the issue of cost-effectiveness and sustainability simultaneously with a new approach. Using the inductive approach and based on the special role and mission of the Iran Fuel Conservation Company (case study) in the oil and energy industry, first, the sustainability dimensions and priorities and their role was calculated based on the opinion of experts and specialists in the field of energy, and the cost of the company's activities and products was calculated based on it, and finally, the cost of the company's products and outputs was shown taking the dimensions of sustainability into account.On this basis, one of the important results of this research is to show the role of each of the outputs or products in each of the relevant sustainability dimensions. Also, the savings occurred based on the amount of investment or, in other words, the cost of the company's output (based on activity) after considering the role of sustainability dimensions. Moreover, it was shown that the company's projects (products) have a different role and impact in each of the dimensions of sustainability. The results of this research, which is also a kind of applied research, were the basis for providing performance-based budgeting and the use and acceptance of the company's managers.

The strategy are in the planning of oil price changes in the short and long term. Therefore, producers should seek to analyze the behavior of crude oil prices in the short and long term in order to adjust their plans. the price level in the oil market is associated with high fluctuations, many producers in the market seek to reduce exchange risk. This article aims to analyze the behavior of oil prices in the short and long term in the use of producers in planning, for this purpose it uses the data of the daily series in 2013-2021. It shows that, in the long term, suppliers can plan themselves in the analysis of price behavior instead of financial factors as fundamental financial factors, in a situation where in the short term, producers have more financial impact than fundamental factors in analyzing the behavior of global price to markets.
