This paper deals with the reservoir performance of the M-6 Project Area in the south-east of the Tia Juana field. The field is one of the four heavy oil fields located along the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, collectively known as the Bolivar Coast fields. Since the early 1930's the area covered by these fields subsides, an observation which one could not fail to make in this swampy coastal area. The subsidence prompted the construction of coastal dykes for protection against flooding and also the installation of a network of benchmarks which are surveyed biannually, to monitor ground level changes in detail. It soon became apparent that there was a direct correlation between subsidence and oil withdrawal, implying that the compaction phenomenon acts as an oil production mechanism. This established a cause/effect chain of oil production/pressure decline/formation compaction/surface subsidence which has since been a fertile field for investigation.
