Along the first half of the century XX the formation of the wealth in Bahia felt in a very limited way, based on “agro-mercantile” activities and financial dependents of the generosity of the nature and of the flotations of the prices of the products in the foreign markets. The Recôncavo, as historical nucleus of the economical base of Bahia, contemplated in the technical and productive aspects, in the infrastructure and in the society the declining level of the life conditions and of the wealth production. It is in that adapts that Petrobras is inserted starting from the decade of 1950 and raising to restructure the social, technical and productive organization, around the area where the petroleum and the natural gas are produced and industrialized. As a result of that, along the second half of the century XX an urban and industrial complex space emerged in the surroundings of the municipal district of Salvador.
