The research contextualizes the off-shore work of a petroliferous plataform in the pespective of Social Psychology of the Environment and the Proxemica. We have chosen a qualitative methodological approach and through participant observation and half-structuralized interviews we have investigated the personalization, territories demarcation and social isolation, as well as the psychological consequences of the work in isolation conditions. We have concluded that there is invasion of personal spaces, little privacy, discrimination between groups, indications of stress, disturbance of sleep and minus feeling related to the experience of the off-shore.
