The present research analyses a study case about potential new uses for used offshore oil platforms that are in abandonment phase and located in marine ecosystems. Oil rigs create impacts on the environment and can become artificial reefs or in some cases, new spaces for activities such as subsistence fishing, recreational diving, or local tourism. The main objective is to identify the new opportunities and stakeholders’ interest that are generated around offshore oil platforms. This exploratory and descriptive study is based on the Z-2B block Abandonment Plan, located in the Pacific Ocean on the coast of Piura department. The socio-environmental problem that has been identified revolves around the changes generated by the oil infrastructure that is installed at sea and the opportunities in the economic activities that could be created around it, as well as the controversy between removing them from the sea or keeping them as artificial reefs. Since the sea is a complex geographical area, it was identified that governance in marine and coastal areas is affected by the different government agencies given the diversity of economic activities carried out at sea, such as fishing, shipping, oil and gas extraction, tourism, among others. Integrated management of the marine environment has not been achieved locally. Keywords: decommission oil platforms, abandonment plan, artificial reefs, sustainable tourism, citizen participation, “Rigs-to-reefs“, marine planning.
