The Hartzog Draw field is a recently discovered major oil reservoir in northwestern Wyoming. Initial reservoir performance indicated that the field soon would be depleted below the bubble-point pressure. To evaluate secondary recovery possibiliites, the working interest owners cooperated in an extensive reservoir study. Although there were some unique problems, both in evaluating reservoir data and in obtaining a unitization agreement, this effort led to the formation of the Hartzog Draw Unit within 5 years of field discovery. Secondary recovery by waterflooding has begun, and enhanced recovery possibilities are being evaluated.
