Abstract
The objective of the study is to develop a management strategy to reduce the environmental risks generated by produced water discharges during oil production on the Kizomba A Platform, Block 15, along the coast of Zaire Province (2019–2021). Methods: qualitative and quantitative approaches; interview techniques, laboratory research, and questionnaires; population of 50 elements, sample of 30. Results: the proposed management strategy contributes to mitigating the environmental impacts of produced water discharges, highlighting that oil activities cause significant impacts on local and global biodiversity. Although petroleum toxicity degrades over time, it continues to represent pollution and risk for ecosystems; management measures can reduce direct risks during and after exploration..
