Dynamic analysis of Iran's oil and gas exports and sales revenue in the time horizon of 2050 by Paria Samadi Parviznejad, Ali Mohaghar

“…A dynamic system is needed to forecast the export and sales of oil in the future, which requires considering the cause-and-effect relationships between the variables affecting the main research problem.Methodology: This paper is applied in terms of purpose, which uses dynamic system modeling to create the model.Findings: Two positive causal loops of oil and gas sales growth and oil and gas field capacity utilization growth, and three negative causal loops of capacity limitations in oil and gas fields, limitations in oil and gas field capacity utilization, and the third was created with the limitation of access to oil resources. …”
