Since January 1978 Maraven is conducting the M-6 Steam Drive Project in Tia Juana, one of the Bolivar Coast Heavy Oil Reservoirs near Lake Maracaibo. The project is carried out on a semi-open seven-spot well configuration, using the existing 231-m grid and comprises at present 21 injectors and 130 producers. The project area is 7,4 Km/sup 2/, depth 1800 ft ss, and originally contained 525 million bbl of 13 degr. API Crude. The recovery by primary depletion, enhanced by steam soak, was 22 pct. STOIIP at the start of steam drive. 4 refs.
