Abstract: This research focusses on the selection of oil projects by using Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods in an uncertain environment. Oil production plays a crucial role in the economy of Iran, a country with many opportunities for onshore oil exploration.

Additionally, oil producers in Iran must also allocate scarce physical, human, and monetary resources among different projects.
