【 摘 要 】

The existence of a large oil industry leading the Iraqi economic sector has a pivotal role in economic development. Development in the oil sector, which follows geographical determinism, does not mean that it achieves economic development only, but must achieve sustainable development too. The process of investment as an engine for development in the oil sector, especially after oil contracts, which allowed the global companies to work in the oil sector in Iraq, contributed to increase the quantities of oil and gas production, and helped the sites near the oil fields to be more economically efficient. The research problem focused on the negative effects of the establishment and continuation of the work of oil investment projects on the local environment, including agricultural land area as well as soil, air, and water. The research aims to introduce the philosophy of environmental sustainability in oil investment projects, to achieve development for the societies near of the oil fields, and ensure that the environment is not damaged. This will be done by putting the hypothesis that: including the dimensions of sustainable environmental development within the adoption of oil investment policy, helps to improve the spatial development of the oil investment site and improve the quality of life of the community. Descriptive analysis used to study the environmental effects of the Ahdab oil field / Al-ahrar Nahiya / Numaniya Qada / Wasit province as a case study. The study found that there are significant negative impacts on agricultural land, air, water and soil. The local community quashinare represented by members of local governments (members of the provincial council, local council of Nu'maniyah, and the local council of the Al-ahrar Nahia), believe that the company's performance about theenvironmentis unsatisfactory.A number of relevant conclusions and recommendations were presented.
