{             
    foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)             
    {                  
        string[] strName;
        string str = oListItem["UserField"].ToString();
        strName=str.Split('#');

Try:

SPGroup group = web.AssociatedOwnerGroup;
SPFieldUserValueCollection users = 
    new SPFieldUserValueCollection(web, item["users"] as string);
foreach (SPFieldUserValue user in users)
{
    if (null != user.User) 
    {
        group.AddUser(user.User);
    }
}
group.Update();
