Many researchers have shown interest in different types of economic innovation, considering it an important management concept that can improve the productivity of natural gas, especially shale gas. This study aims to explore the relationship between economic innovation and the productivity of natural gas (shale gas) in Waad Al-Shamal Industrial City. It also seeks to identify any significant differences between these two factors. The research will use a descriptive-analytical method and a survey to describe the characteristics and variables related to the research problem and to test its hypotheses. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) will be used to analyze the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results show that acceptance, ongoing efforts, and problem sensitivity have a significant effect on the productivity of natural gas.
