Abstract

Fossil fuels are used throughout the world as the main sources of energy, they are present in nature thanks to the accumulation
of biomass over millions of years. Although many countries depend largely on exports of oil and its derivatives to maintain
their economy, fossil fuels have caused pollution to the environment due to their extraction from the subsoil, causing harmful
effects on the human being and the environment as a result of the operations related to their exploitation. This bibliographic
review article exposes a series of theoretical and conceptual considerations about the effects of the exploration, exploitation, and
production of fossil fuels such as oil and gas, focusing on the negative effects that these activities cause on natural resources in
Colombia. and Latin America, in addition to considering different measures to prevent and mitigate the impacts caused.
