Description: Noble Energy, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1969, and began doing business in 1932. It has been publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 1980. Noble Energy and its subsidiaries are an energy company involved in the acquisition, exploration, development, production and marketing of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. Its operations are divided between U.S. and international operations, with different regions of operation and reporting in each. In the U.S., marketing is done directly to end-users and natural gas is aggregated to be sold to natural gas marketers and pipelines. Noble Energy also buys and sells third-party crude oil and natural gas production. As of December, 2008, in its U.S. operations, the northern region consisted of operations in the Rocky Mountains area; the southern region included the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and onshore areas in Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, and Indiana. International regions of operation consisted of West Africa (Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon); Israel; North Sea (the Netherlands and the UK); and other operations in Suriname, Ecuador, and China. Recent acquisitions have included Patina Oil and Gas Corporation in 2005, and U.S. Exploration Holdings Inc. in 2006, and producing properties in western Oklahoma in 2008. More
