Original Post

I could be wrong on this, but it appears, Hess was issued its first permit in the American Oil and Gas (AEZ) acreage it acquired late last year.
  • 20308, 654, Hess, GO-Soine A-156-97-3229H-1, SESW 32-156N-97W, in  Dollar Joe oil field, Williams County, located about three miles directly south of Ray; t9/11; cum 106K 9/14;
I  believe the "GO" refers to the "American Oil and Gas" prospect acquired by Hess. [See comment below.]

    I believe it was called the "Goliath Prospect". Either way GO HESS!

    Wow, I had forgotten that. Good for you. Yes, AEZ had Niobrara acreage in Wyoming/Colorado and Bakken acreage in North Dakota, the latter they referred to as their Goliath Prospect. AEZ sold all their Niobrara holdings and became a pure-Bakken play before being bought by Hess.

    Yes, AEZ's ND Bakken prospect was called Goliath, and that's the basis for Hess' new designation "GO." Thank you. That is not on the maps in their presentations so there will probably be only a few of us that know the history. Thanks.

    20292 JOHNSON 15-22H also appears to be in the same area - SESW 22-T157N-R97W.

    Yes, in the same general area.

    #20292, Johnson 15-22H, is in Ross oil field.

    #20308 is in Dollar Joe.

    I can't say more about that right now because the NDIC site is down and I can't look at the GIS map server. My hunch is that EOG already controlled that acreage in the Ross oil field but I could be wrong. Johnson 15-22H did not have the "GO" designator.

    The NDIC site cannot be reached because of the electricity outage at Bismarck capitol.

    I knew they should not have switched to wind energy.

    The NDIC site is back up.

    You are correct. Though they are in different fields they are only about 8 miles from each other; north/south just west of Ray. Thank you for pointing that out. Looks like another great area.
