The oil and gas exploration in the North Fluminense - RJ and Baixadas Litorâneas - RJ regions, in state of Rio de Janeiro, trigged a series of transformations in the municipalities of these regions, caused for insertion in the modern globalized production circuits that apply in these territories productive and economic extra-local references. These transformations resulted in a new productive area called productive area of oil and gas. Reading these transformations came from analysis of productive space circuits, focusing on the socio-spatial changes caused by economic insertion, where uneven and combined development theory by Trotsky and derivatives spaces theory by Milton Santos allowed the acknowledgment of subordinate relationships that linked with the proposal local development, are insufficient to induce development and social transformation in this productive areas, because the economic global conditions and the State are oriented to continuous capital accumulation. The local specificities are recommended.
