NBL has two jets, both configured for corporate vanity flights. Why not take one and sell it or at least reconfigure it to hold 19 passengers as a shuttle plane for trips to and from Midland and other places? Leave one for the DS BS and KF to tool... — read more
Bonuses
So, do we get to participate in the payout this year (besides the peanuts) or is it reserved for the big money folks who have done such a wonderful job for the company over the last few years?
GAP?
How is the GAP training going? Have you all had some serious "break through" thinking yet? Maybe Noble's stock price could break through $20.00 / share sometime this year... So happy to be gone from Noble. How is that for "break through" thinking!
How to make money the Noble way
Johnny and Billy are in separate but similar energy businesses. Johnny sees a play developing. Billy has property there. Johnny and Billy let prices rise as the play develops. Johnny gets money from investors and loans and pays exhorbitant price for... — read more
Nice separation agreement.
Anybody else get a separation agreement like this? http://investors.nblenergy.com/node/22766/html
Sock price
Have you seen the stock price of this company? Can you say worthless? Soon to go under $20.00 / share. An all time low.
GW gone. DS on the way out. Take KF too.
finance/IT is screwed up. If you have any doubt take a look at the org chart. Only an insane person could design that. And why so many finance/IT managers and directors for such a small company? Lots of FAT in Finance and IT. Same for Exploration and... — read more
Penny Stoke

Layoffs coming again
Noticed an increase in closed door meetings. Could signal yet another round of layoffs. Executive management is responsible for this mess. The best thing for Noble would be a 50% pay cut for the execs. We cant afford to lose people who actually work... — read more
if you've got an offer . . .
now is probably the time to go.
FU greenies - 112 isn’t going to pass! New acreage, new debt?
Latest polling shows 112 continuing to trend in our favor. It isn’t going to pass. Too much $$$, time, and effort from us and the other CO E&P’s. Nice work to all involved. FU greenies. Now to what’s next - 70,000 acre new position in USO? How are we... — read more

Noble signs the Egypt deal
Don’t see anybody posting this, so just in case somebody missed it: negotiations are finally over. Noble signed multiple deals to support natural gas delivery from Leviathan and Tamar fieldes to Egypt through existing infrastructure. Not exactly a... — read more
next round of layoffs
inquiring minds want to know how management will respond once the market realizes that the Leviathan project should have been named the Lilliputian project (look up the definition).
#MeToo
is about to hit the fan. Thank you CEO CFO COO SVPs VPs BOD. Who gets promoted, shoved aside, fired, and for what? The stench of harassment and discrimination permeates this organization. "Enquiring Minds Want to Know!". Maybe we should reveal one at... — read more
Employee survey
I presume once the results come back negative once again they’ll just replace the survey company again until they can get the results that makes upper management feel good about themselves. Compensation will remain well below market. Thoughts?
Revenue
Why are so many people leaving Revenue? There’s been a mass exodus over the last year since JN retired. This is not good news for the new guy.
Accounting and Finance
It’s interesting how many positions ar open at Noble...some have been open for a while. Why are they having a hard time finding people to come work for them? Could it be their lack or stability? Could it be the fact that their turnover rate is... — read more
Sinking Ship
Noble is a sinking ship. It’s been that way for years. Anyone not on the Board or at the very top of this food chain is no better than a slave chained in the bowels of the ship’s cargo hull. If you don’t break free, you will go down with the ship or... — read more
This needed to be said
It’s a realization that Noble is a subpar company. Most of the people who leave will do much better elsewhere. I don’t know anyone who would work for Noble. They have no chance of recruiting and keeping experienced quality people. You can’t act like... — read more
Collapse?
Barring someone doing something terribly wrong, do you think the execs leaving knew they needed to get out sooner due to collapse or something similar?
Are we on a sinking ship with this group of exec?
It's truly amazing the number of quality people who have left the company over the last couple of years. Some were part of the layoffs and were people who were loyal to the company and were good to high performers. Some made too much money... — read more

Any more layoffs?
A lot of things are discussed here, but there has been little to no info on the most important thing: layoffs? Does this mean that no layoffs are coming so there is nothing to talk and in turn worry about? Or are we simply going through a period of... — read more

So why chase offshore Canada?
So why chase offshore Canada? A massively expensive and hazardous location. BP’s website says they won’t even start drilling till 2020. If a discovery it will have VERY high dev cost and several more years to prod. High negative cash flow for years... — read more
More layoffs are needed
the company still needs to reduce overhead. Way too much finance, legal, HR, government relations, and IT. I know this is not a popular opinion, but I agree with @RML5xtx-4gsv completely. We still have too much dead weight in plenty of departments... — read more

Why Noble Energy, Inc.'s Stock Is Soaring Today
"I love it when a plan comes together." Further, cash flow should rise by an even higher 35% compound annual growth rate as long as oil averages $50 a barrel. That cash flow growth rate is well above most peers, with Pioneer Natural Resources... — read more

Have you checked out NBL share price lately? It’s about the same price now as it was when oil was trading at $26.00 barrel. They just announced a big stock buyback program, oil was up 1.5% today and the stock was still down around 1.0%. There is no... — read more
