Abstract

The creation of collaborative environments is one of the first practices adopted by companies that intend to implement an integrated operation (IO). The participation of ergonomists in a collaborative environment project for the subsea installations sector of a Brazilian oil and gas company and the subsequent space evaluation during operations, prompts reflections on the contributions and limits of this initiative.

The research shows that this workplace design, based on a participatory approach, can contribute to greater integrated operations. However, the workplace is only a means, and, in this context, what is at stake is the design of a new work system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term pre-salt refers to a layer of rocks below a layer of salt, formed, in general, by carbonate rocks, where the deposit of organic matter accumulated over millions of years potentiated the generation and accumulation of oil. In Brazil, the pre-salt fields can reach up to 8.000 m above the sea surface, requiring high technological investments.
