This study aims to describe the experience of technology transfer process performed in national Iranian oil company (with regard to rich resources of gas and oil in Iran) using the phase-gate model. The present study is applied and uses the descriptive analysis method. The present study is qualitative and is in descriptive-oriented practice category. The statistical society includes 12 experienced experts involved in studied projects.
