Once described as a gold-plated project, Maraven's M-6 steam drive project reached payout in two years. The injection of 8.7 million tons of steam increased production by a total of 12.9 million barrels of oil between January 1978 and June 1981. The project is seen as the first step in Maraven's campaign to produce oil from the Orinoco Heavy Oil Belt. 4 refs.
