This article discusses the composition of the oil landscape, using Carola Hein's hybrid, multiple, transformative and uneven ways of multi-layering, and its impact on societies such as industry, administration, architecture, oil culture and citizens' response to the oil landscape. This approach is presented in a panel, which is projected on Skikda, the northeast stronghold of the Algerian oil industry in North Africa, as a case study. Citizen feedback as a component layer of the oil landscape are presented through the text mining method, which is a word cloud text visualization. This study deals with aspects of the oil landscape, their economic and cultural importance and their impact on the city and society of Skikda.
