  7. Abstract:
  8. Digital technologies are shaping various industries in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, and meanwhile, we are witnessing the faster development of these technologies in the post-Corona period. In the oil industry, digital fields have created a window of opportunity to provide a competitive advantage for reputable oil companies. Realizing the importance of this window of opportunity, the leading oil companies quickly seek to use their capacities in the development of digital technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, robotics, twins. Digital and fast processing methods are in the context of a digital field to take a step towards digital transformation. National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), as the representative of the Iran’s government the in production of the country's oil & gas fields and the sale of oil, should define its relationship with this technology. For this purpose, it is necessary to understand the current situation of the company which discusses in this thesis. First, the digital maturity of NIOC is measured using a questionnaire through a survey of elites. Knowing the state of digital maturity of the company, the reasons for the weakness of digital capabilities in different dimensions and levels are then evaluated through the collection and classification of interview data with managers and decision makers as interviewees using the theme analysis method. Theeafter, the extracted reasons are analyzed using a new theoretical framework to provide a causal narrative of the reasons for the weakness of NIOC’s digital capabilities. It is hoped that the results of this thesis will be effective in the development of Iran’s digital fields
