             abstract = "The Ecuadorian Amazon is considered a biodiverse region, and at 
                         the same time contains the largest number of oil blocks and 
                         oilfields in the country. Oil exploitation requires the 
                         implementation of oil facilities and related infrastructure, such 
                         as roads, water, and energy supply, for operation. These large 
                         engineering works can alter the dynamics of the Amazonian natural 
                         ecosystems. This paper analyzes the land use and land cover (LULC) 
                         change and relates spatial patterns within an oil block located in 
                         the province of Orellana, Ecuador. The study was processed in two 
                         phases, the first corresponding to the collection and 
                         classification of LULC classes within the oil block. The second 
                         phase concerned the calculation of landscape metrics, with the 
                         purpose of quantitatively characterizing each class. This analysis 
                         was carried out for the pre-concession, post-concession scenarios 
                         of the oil block and the current scenario of the region. The 
                         results revealed that the low predominance of forest cover within 
                         the study region is not directly associated with the beginning of 
                         the Block 47 concession. On the other hand, a significant 
                         reduction of the Coca River was evidenced for the 2018 scenario.",
