Today, there are many types of contracts in the world. However, Managers and other experts don’t know enough about those of contracts attributes and, maybe, they face many problems in adjusting the working relationship. On the other hand, it seems that there are very few studies regarding this issue due to the fact that contracting is an interdisciplinary approach. Hence, this paper assumes the standard problem of Transaction Cost Economics as the basis of the analysis and by classifing constructual contracts into the two groups of build or buy, attemps to analyse the structure of both groups. This paper by dividing Contractual Relationships into two groups has made use of some cases from Iranian oil industry. This approach is interdisciplinary and it is shown that an improved understanding of the concepts can help managers and other decision makers to arrive at more efficient decisions.

In this article we explain the production behavior in National Iranian oil Company (NIOC) from Transaction Cost Economics’ (TCE) view. The main question in TCE is vertical integration or build or buy decision. So we can analyse governance structure of NIOC for developing plans from buying (buy back contracts) or bulding methods in production of hydrocarbon (Oil and Gas). TCE says Governance Structure aligns itself with Characteristics of Transaction subject to minimization of transactions costs. For surveying this subject, we analysed effective factors on generating transaction costs and governance structure of production in NIOC with using probit model. The results of article relatively supported from TCE hypothesis.
