Climate change has recently become a major topic in global discussions. The oil and gas industry plays the primary role in driving climate change; on account of the substantial emission of greenhouse gases and the release of various pollutants. Meanwhile, efforts are being made on all international fronts to hold accountable the companies of this industry for environmental damages and obligate them to provide appropriate redress for social and economic damages caused by the extraction and exploitation of fossil fuels. Governments and clients use the so-called "green" contracts to control pollutant emissions from project parties, which include clauses related to environmental requirements and enforce an incentive-punitive financial system. The enforcement of green contracts will change the economic eva‎luation of projects and the conventional approach to cost estimation, allocation, and control. The present thesis identifies the challenges of this issue as a research gap. In the following, minor alterations are made to the common methods within the bounds of project cost management to present a project's sustainability performance indicator and a practical model for optimal case selection and cost control under an incentive-punitive financial system related to environmental requirements. Therefore, the data from a gas sweetening unit in a refinery project was used to investigate the feasibility of the model and eva‎luate the results. In this regard, a total of 7 cases aimed at reducing the release of undesirable components were simulated, and the schedules of the cases were prepared using Primavera p6 Software. According to the results, most of the project activities were influenced in terms of schedule and cost. The results also showed that upon changing the environmental liquidated damages at different periods, the optimal solution of the model presents various alternatives from the corresponding cases.
