Abstract:O trabalho visa traçar as premissas básicas para a elaboração de um plano diretor nacional, tendo por escopo a orientação e o planejamento intertemporal da exploração dos campos petrolíferos brasileiros. Esse instrumento parte do reconhecimento do impacto ambiental do esgotamento dos reservatórios pelas atividades de exploração. A proposta procura fortalecer os instrumentos legais existentes e as políticas públicas de fontes alternativas de energia.
“…The first is from Vilani and Machado (2010), that environmental licensing applied to the exploration and production of oil and gas should dialogue with planning instruments. These instruments need to be adequate to reorienting the exploration of reservoirs over time, aiming to extend the use of oil and gas reserves.…”
Scholarly papers on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Brazil were reviewed aiming at surveying the state of research in this field. Searches in three databases identified 131 papers published between 1985 and 2015. They were classified under: case analysis (45%); analysis of the EIA system (32%), discussion about methods (15%) and evaluation of quality of EIA documents (8%). It was found that those papers: (i) deal with highly complex cases; (ii) identify several weaknesses in the EIA system, but also some achievements and improvements; (iii) address a number of weaknesses identified in other studies; and (iv) show recurrent deficiencies, as well as temporal evolution in the quality of EIA documents. Some topics often pointed as weaknesses in the national debate and the international literature were not addressed in this set of papers. This research field is at an early development stage in Brazil, but features a growing number of publications.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
