The Carmópolis Field, which is the largest set of onshore oil fields in Brazil, is responsible for the most part of onshore oil production in Sergipe State. Despite its economic importance, it causes significant environmental damages, endangering the health of the population and the quality of Carmópolis landscape. In order to supportmanagement actions that minimize or reimburse the environmental impacts, following the legislation and protecting the remaining natural ecosystems, this study aimed to analyze the spatial implications of onshore oil production of Carmópolis city; mapping the use of soil and calculating the quality index of the landscape using landscape ecology as theoretical and methodological basis. It was found that a) the landscape qualityindex of Carmópolis is 0,54, classified as regular; b) oil wells, roads and pipelines, fragment the city landscape, affecting the resilience of natural ecosystems.Keywords: landscape quality, geoprocessing, landscape ecology.
