Sc--w them for dismantling what was a great company and selling the bottom for pennies. Gutless value destructors. Billions left on the table since the bottom of ‘20. Selfish cowards!
What’s Arne Johnson up to these days?
Playing peek a boo?
Why Noble Energy failed. Please provide your thoughts
My thoughts: Starts at the top, a very weak board of directors that 1- Allowed too many former major oil company senior leaders to be hired. This changed the culture into a majorly inefficient oil company. 2- Approved the over valuing of too many... — read more
Folks that have stayed with Chevron - what’s the verdict?
Good? Bad? What you expected?
DS on Apache BOD
https://investor.apacorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/dave-stover-appointed-apa-corporation-board-directors Dear APA shareholders, be concerned.
Management is awful
Considering how terrible the management is, the situation at Noble is not so bad. Since Noble has the worst management of all the companies I’ve worked for before, everything could have been a lot worse here. They have more luck than brains. — read more
Crude Oil is Over $120/BBL
What can you say about such a lost opportunity? Chevron acquired Noble in October 2020. The price of crude oil was $40/BBL. It has only been a year and a half and the price of oil has gone up 300%. Since the close date the price of oil has... — read more
Crude Oil at $110/BBL
How many millions of dollars were the Noble executives paid to sell out at the absolute bottom? Noble Energy was a going concern for 100 years and a few id--ts at the top sold it out for a short term personal gain. Criminal.
Crude Oil Over $100/BBL and Going Higher
DS must stand for d-mbshit.
Crude Oil Approaching $100/BBL
Everyone knows the oil business is cyclical. Couldn't Noble's management have ridden out the low prices for a few more months? Unbelievable.
Crude Oil Over $92/BBL Today
Talk about completely missing the market and selling out at the absolute bottom.
Oil Hits a Five Year High Today
Oil hit a five year high. Since Noble was sold, the price of oil has consistently gone up. They ran the divestiture price file at $50 flat. In order to make money you buy low and sell high, not vice versa. Terrible business decision.
What would let you know your company was about to be acquired by a Major?
Thoughts ? Red flags?
One year later
For the ones that made it over to Chevron. How did the transition go?
Shocker, but wish you all well!!!
I remember working as accountant in midstream for Noble. Looking at the price of oil right now, Noble sold the company on huge discount. The company would have ki---d with Oil being $78 barrel. Best company I ever worked for, but the d-mbest... — read more
Oilprice.com says global oil shortage Inevitable
"This disconnect between the political desire for less fossil fuels and the global hunger for fossil fuels could drive the price of oil up to $100" says OiIprice.com. We are experiencing supply chain shortages everywhere and now it looks like an oil... — read more
Arne Johnson?
Does anyone have any information about Arne Johnson?
Brent Crude at $90 By Year End Goldman Sachs Predicts
The price of oil keeps going up. Natural gas is almost $6. Hindsight being 20/20 shows the selling of Noble Energy was the worst decision anyone could have made, unless you were able to personally profit from the deal.
NEC Campus Updates?
Does anyone have information about what is going to happen to Noble's two buildings? There were rumors that Noble 1 was up for sale but now it's not, and that Noble 2 was being marketed for sublease...but now it's not. Are people coming back? Is... — read more
Brent Crude Over $70
Less than a year after the acquisition of Noble by Chevron and oil and gas prices up strongly. Noble stock would have clearly outperformed Chevron stock. It was a bad deal for Noble shareholders. Where is the justice?
I'm so tired of this place
I'm hoping that the next round of cuts includes my name. Walking aways with severance would be perfect right now. Getting out of this toxic environment full of dirty politics and good-for-nothing managers who think yelling 24/7 is a good leadership... — read more
There has been very little mention of more layoffs
Does this mean we're safe?
Eagle Ford
Only a handful of Noble Eagle Ford employees were offered a Chervon position. Many are concerned Chevron will sell these assets. Anyone heard anything?
Any vision?
What bothers me the most is that Noble no longer has any vision without which the situation can only get worse. Management seems pretty clueless to me. I used to be proud to work in this company, but now I no longer have any motivation for work. If... — read more
W-2 Forms
When will Noble send out the IRS tax form W-2's to everyone?
WTI at $60
DS ran Noble's forward looking economics at $50 flat. Looks like that was a pessimistic assumption. Of course, what he was really trying to do was sell out and cash in. Only thinking of himself and not the company or the employees. He made the... — read more
moving on
After ~7 months of layoffs how many have moved on from the industry? By choice or necessity?
Don't forget about us
Dont forget about the kitchen staff, building maintenance, janitors, security, gym staff. We lost our jobs too.
The last SVP’s let go last Monday - Amen!!
The most destructive, self centered and corrosive SVP’s were let go Monday. RC and CM constantly put their teams down, publicly humiliated them and then expected high performance. You came here with the intent of getting a Change of Control payment... — read more
More cuts?
The writing is on the wall, more cuts ahead. Many were told they were safe but weren’t given a job offer. Still in limbo wondering what’s going on.
I am disappointed
there are so many things that are disappointing about the destruction of what used to be a good solid company at one time. I think one of the more disappointing things will be the inevitable lack of comments on this page, about a company that no... — read more
Anyone asked to move?
I heard a lot of people were asked to move more than 50 miles from there current location to stay employed. They had until today to accept the job or take COC.
Clarification on 570 cut October 28-29
I was laid of July 10 2020, in my severance package paperwork it lists all positions with age of person. An X placed next to those that were severed. I counted 990 people kept on the Noble staff by tallying up those without an X. So therefore if it... — read more
Anybody remember Africa?
So Chevron owns everything Noble except West Africa? Apparently West Africa is still independently Noble and everyone seems to have forgotten about it. There is a handful of Noble employees and contractors just working day in day out like nothing... — read more
Well - how bad was it?
Seems like most of the bloodbath is behind us. Quite a few surprises in my team. Anyone hear about final numbers?
What about contractors?
So when are contractors supposed to hear what our status is?
KFKA: Noble Energy Layoffs In Colorado

Thank you stover and smolik
Thank you to stover and smolik for running noble into the ground, cutting 25% of staff a week before chevron purchase announcement. I guess they had to find a source of money to fill their wheelbarrows.
