Description
Summary:Soil is an important resource for the development of life and the quality of natural ecosystems. Oil exploitation requires the implementation of complementary infrastructure such as access to highways, water, and energy supplies. These engineering projects can alter the dynamics of natural ecosystems. This study analyses the relationship between land use and land cover (LULC) and oil activity through bibliometric tools and a literature review of the applications of sustainable development strategies. The methodology includes 1) compilation of information from the LULC associated with the oil industry. 2) Data processing and analyses. 3) Interpretation of results within the sustainable development framework. The results indicate that bioenergy studies, climate change, sustainability, and environmental impact assessment tools are trending in this area. The literature review showed that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (SDG9), Climate Action (SDG13), Life Below Water (SDG14), and Life on Land (SDG15) are related directly to various topics of study. This research allows us to consider future lines of study such as evaluating compliance with sustainability indicators and developing territorial and environmental plans for oil activities. [Display omitted] •LULC topics associated with petroleum activities arose during the oil "boom".•There is a strong relationship between oil activity and sustainability owing to climate change and environmental pollution.•Studying sustainability indicators in oil activities is important for the application of new policies and technologies.
