Abstract :
Abstract Purpose: Small and medium enterprises are recognized as essential components of national development in developed and developing countries. Oil is one of the main sources of energy and a key raw material for many industries. The development of small and medium enterprises as one of the engines of the modern economy plays an important role in improving job opportunities, increasing exports and strengthening technological innovations. In Iran, the field of oil industry and petrorefinery is one of the main pillars that has a high impact on the development of the country. But there is a significant theoretical gap in the field of studying and presenting factors affecting the creation of small and medium-sized companies in the country's oil industry. Methodology: Based on this, in this research, the effective factors in the design of the model of small and medium companies in the country's oil industry and the field of small petrorefineries are identified and a model for these businesses is presented. The current research is of applied type and the necessary data has been collected using the opinions of experts in this industry and related to it. Results: The results show that factors such as government support, financing, smart planning, environmental factors, access, etc. lead to business growth in the country's oil and petroleum industry.
