Abstract

More than 100 years have passed since the discovery of oil in Iran. Although this industry has a decisive role in the country's economy, Iran has never been among the technology developers of world's oil industry. Also, after all these years Iran couldn’t stablish the ability to develop and commercialize new and applied technologies in oil and gas sector.
Comparative study, emploeyed in this research, is one of the methods to understand weaknesses to achieve technogical capablities. So, in this article, by applying historical and analytical approach we try to study the technological development processes of Iran and Norway oil industries. Paying attention to subjects such as: exploit the existing potential of the industries at the birth of the oil industry, the role and policies of the government in creating effective institutional mechanisms in oil industry, building technological absorption capacities, research and development in oil industry, creating knowledge through oil contractor companies, technology transfer and development through manufacturing in oil industry within the framowrk of a comparative study of these two countries, some recommnedations will be offered to improve and facilitate the technological development of the oil industry in Iran and to enhance the competitive advantage.
