Beginning with the purchase of his first drilling rig in 1921, Lloyd Noble demonstrated a steadfast respect for communities, land, and protecting natural resources. This vision has always set Noble Energy apart from their competitors, even as they have grown to become a leading independent energy company. 

Through each technological advancement and geographic expansion, their business has been about more than oil and natural gas exploration and production.  It’s about improving lives by bringing energy to the marketplace and helping local communities grow and prosper. 

They continuously strive to be a better industry partner by providing their employees with opportunities to make positive contributions and constantly challenging themselves to find better solutions to the world’s energy needs. In this way, they leave a legacy of sustainability wherever possible.

The innovation and passion of their people drive their success. Their purpose, Energizing the World, Bettering People’s Lives®, means they venture where others have not and create opportunities for the communities where they live and work. They operate safely, responsibly, and efficiently – from initial evaluation through discovery and production.

Their founder’s philosophy still shapes their culture: surround yourself with good people and you cannot help but be successful. They are proud to have built a company with a character to match their record of success. How? By building a team of professionals with varied backgrounds but a shared sense of purpose.

They deliver energy resources from core operating areas that include positions in four premier unconventional U.S. onshore plays — the Denver-Julesberg (DJ) Basin, Marcellus Shale, Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin — and conventional offshore operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Eastern Mediterranean, and West Africa.
