In the extraction and production of oil are generated many effluents and among them is produced water, water extracted along with oil, which distinguished by its large volume generated. There are present, among other contaminants, the trace metals. The Japaratuba river was used as a receiving body of waste generated in the fields of oil production from Carmópolis-SE, for many years and previous studies showed that the sediments are contaminated with copper, lead and zinc. The objective of this study was to reassess the environmental conditions of the Japaratuba river in the regions receiving the discharges from the fields of oil exploration after five years of removal of these evictions. Samples of surface sediments were collected along the river, at the same points in the previous study. We determined partial and total concentrations of Cu, Cd, Zn, Co, Al, Fe, Mn, Ba, V, Cr e Ni and in relation to the abundance of these we find: > Fe > Ba > Mn > Zn > Cr > Pb ~ Cu > Ni > Co > V > Cd. The lowest concentrations of metals were found at points P8 and P9 (near the mouth) and the highest concentrations for most metals analyzed were found at the point P3, one of the regions most affected the old dumps. Comparing the total concentrations in the study done previously observed that in the points P3, P5, P6, P7 and P8 the concentrations of all metals remained virtually unchanged or slightly increased, showing that the environment is not yet recoverd. As for the point P4 was noted an increase in concentration for all metals that can be explained by a possible remobilization of metals. Iron was chosen as standard elements to have shown better correlation than aluminum. The normalization of the results identified that the sediments altered by greater number of metals were related to the point P1, which were observed abnormal concentrations of Cu, Ba, Co, Ni, Pb and Al, followed by the point P5 contaminated by Cu, Cd, Co, Cr and Mg and point P6 changed by Co, Ni, Pb and Zn. Since the points P4, P7, P8 and P9 are not significantly contaminated by any of the metals analyzed, and the point P3 despite having the highest concentrations of metals are changed only by Cr. The lowest enhancement factor was found at the points P8 and P9 and the highest values for points P1, P3 and P4, the most affected by ancient discharges produced water, showing once again the non-recovery of the environment. The highest percentages of organic carbon and total nitrogen were found at the points P3, P4 and P5, were rightly places most affected by the effluent water produced. The values of the ratio of organic carbon and total nitrogen (Corg / Ntotal) for Japaratuba river sediments ranged from 17.29 to 21.63, except at the point P1 (444.50), whose value was much higher than that found in other points due to the low percentage of Ntotal this site. The values found are higher than the Redfield ratio (6,6:1) suggesting that the sediments studied the origin of organic matter is predominantly terrigenous and anthropogenic sources are more likely in this case the produced water discharges.
