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.]
