description The purpose of this article is to deal with the questions on the role of oil territories in the energy transition and in sustainability transition vis-à-vis vulnerable spaces. We focus on the land-sea interactions to highlight the peculiarities of the coastal zone and the articulations between economic and institutional structures that characterize these territories. The article examines the exploration of oil in the equatorial margin, considered a new energy frontier in South America. Located along the coast of Venezuela to the north coast of Rio Grande do Norte, the geographical approach adopted in this paper considers exclusively the portion located in the Brazilian coastal zone. The conclusion illustrates that the different transitions do not depend exclusively on the evolution of the technological apparatus, but also on political agreements that interpellate both South American and global governance of these transitions.
