Abstract

The general objective of the research was to legally analyze the legal-environmental consequences of oil exploitation in Ecuador. This research used the quantitative method, which produces descriptive data, originating from data collection. Supported by the documentary-bibliographic review. In addition, the inductive-deductive method was used. The analytical-synthetic method was also used. It is concluded that, in Ecuador, there is a serious legal and environmental problem due to the exploitation of hydrocarbons. The repercussions include damage to nature, people, air, soil, water sources, among others. The damages are due to actions or omissions on the part of the oil companies, however, the Ecuadorian State is responsible for not controlling the permits or licenses for the extraction of crude oil in an effective manner in the first place.
