The Carmópolis Field, one of the largest onshore oil producers in the country, is economically important for the State of Sergipe; yet has significant environmental impacts. In order to subsidize the licensing process, this research aimed to analyze the quality of the landscape in the municipalities of Carmópolis and Japaratuba, through indexes. It was verified that: the quality indices of the landscape of the municipality of Carmópolis and Japaratuna are, respectively, 0.54 and 0.55, classified as regular; the wells, the roads and the gas and oil pipelines fragments the landscape of the municipality, compromising the resiliency of natural ecosystems. hus, the assumptions that the landscapes of the municipalities of Carmópolis and Japaratuba are being degraded by oil activity and that the environmental impacts are not being adequately mitigated have been confirmed. In order to reverse the degradation process, it is necessary to implement priority management actions to cease, minimize and compensate for environmental impacts; ensure the protection of natural ecosystems and the quality of life of the population. Within this context, monitoring, environmental recovery, and the implementation of ecological corridors through reforestation with native species are important tools for environmental planning of mining in the Carmópolis Oil Field.
