VARGAS TEJEDOR, Yesenia  and  LEON RODRIGUEZ, Nohra. Oil Exploration and Exploitation: A Geographic Focus on the Environmental Effects in the Plain Foothills. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2016, vol.21, n.2, pp.199-224. ISSN 0123-3769.  https://doi.org/10.19053/01233769.5795.

The research on the environmental effects of economic activity, of great impact for the country, such as the exploration and exploitation of oil approached from the economic geography and environmental geography perspectives (Eco geography and political ecology), allows to use and develop methods and techniques to dimension, comprehensively, the conflict in oil exploration areas such as the foothill plains in the department of Casanare, and other areas with similar characteristics. In the identification and analysis of environmental effects, a critical review of the results of two environmental and economic components was performed. Analyzing per decade and comparing the main recognizable landmarks in the implementation of sectorial and environmental policies, this contrasts with variables such as coverage changes, environmental licenses, and other results achieved which made conspicuous the used methodology.

Keywords : environment; geography; oil; politics; comparative advantage.
