Latigo field is located on the W.-dipping E. flank of the asymmetrical Denver-Julesburg Basin. Structure is of little geologic consequence in the field except as an aid in predicting oil-water contacts to the west and higher gas-oil ratios to the east in any particular reservoir. The Cretaceous Skull Creek, Muddy, and Benton formations in the Latigo area consist generally of cyclic fluvial- deltaic sequences interbedded with marine shales. The Muddy ''J'' sequence represents a complex of delta-front or shallow marine, delta distributary-interdistributary, and interdeltaic or shallow neritic deposition. Latigo field presently consists of 7 productive wells, with a proven productive area of 560 acres. When fully developed, the field may encompass over 1,600 acres. As a result of active gas- and water-expansion drives, ultimate recovery in the field should approach 30% of the oil in place. With the anticipated productive ability, the return on investment to Latigo field participanthe predetermined program.
