Sumario:The exploitation of oil has significant element for the Sergipe´s economy. However, the contradiction between the subsoils rich and poor people raises key questions about the management of these resources and the living conditions of the population. Such conditions, the entry of new actors in the scenery for the exploration of oil in Sergipe and the management of resources of exploration, instilling relations peculiar to neo-liberal policy in the region and in Sergipe. The study was developed from the analysis and crossing of information available in the national agency oil (ANP), the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the Court of Auditors (TCU) and Petrobrás, among other public and private sectors. The lack of adequate social policies which offer people conditions to insertion in political, economic and social - producing region oil Sergipe has prevented the development and effective change in the pattern of life, showing the inconsistency between the high values deposited in the public coffers municipal arising from royalties and the high poverty rates presented in the region. This situation reinforces the idea that public policies should be elaborated to reduce of the inequality from the responsible management of public resources.
