NEWS RELEASE

NOBLE ENERGY ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2018 RESULTS

HOUSTON (February 19, 2019) -- Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) (“Noble Energy” or the "Company”) today announced fourth quarter and full-year 2018 financial and operating results. Fourth quarter highlights include:

• Organic capital expenditures funded by Noble Energy totaled $643 million, towards the low end of guidance.

• Sales volumes of 350 MBoe/d exceeded the top end of guidance, including record production from the DJ and Delaware Basins. U.S. onshore oil averaged a quarterly record of 118 MBbl/d, up 18 percent⁽¹⁾ from the fourth quarter 2017.

• Noble Midstream Partners realized record gathering throughput across all product streams and continued its 20 percent annual distribution per unit growth.

• Sold over 1 Bcfe/d of natural gas equivalents, gross, from the Company’s Israel fields.

• Proved reserve additions (including additions, extensions, and revisions) replaced 171percent of 2018 production.

• Returned $124 million to shareholders through the Company’s dividend and share repurchase program.

• Total financial liquidity at the end of 2018 was $4.7 billion. Proceeds from asset sales in the fourth quarter totaled $226 million, including cash received for the divestment of the Company’s interest in Tamar Petroleum and miscellaneous non-core U.S. onshore interests.

David L. Stover, Noble Energy’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “Noble Energy made significant strides in 2018 as the Company continued to preserve returns over volume growth across our global portfolio. This was evidenced in the second half of the year as we moderated our U.S. onshore activity to protect margins, enhance capital efficiency and increase net cash flow generation. We have now transitioned all three of our onshore basins to row development, which is driving both cost and well productivity efficiencies. Offshore, we are nearing the start-up of the world-class Leviathan project, which is scheduled to deliver first gas by the end of 2019. In addition, we executed pipeline agreements that will enhance our delivery of natural gas to the region. During the year, we also implemented a share repurchase program, increased our dividend, and reduced leverage, following through on our commitment by returning more than $1 billion to equity and debt investors. Overall, our successes in 2018 advanced our ability to deliver sustainable long-term value and organic free cash flow."

Full year 2018 Highlights

• Returned more than $500 million to shareholders, including $295 million through the Company’s share repurchase program and $208 million through Noble Energy’s quarterly dividend.

• Strengthened the Company’s balance sheet by paying down $609 million in Noble Energy debt.

• Enhanced the portfolio to focus on high-return U.S. onshore liquids and international gas by divesting the Company’s Gulf of Mexico assets and midstream ownership in Appalachia.

• Sales volumes totaled 353 MBoe/d, up 11 percent⁽¹⁾ as compared to 2017, on organic capital expenditures funded by Noble Energy of less than $3 billion.

• Implemented row development in the DJ and Delaware Basins and grew U.S. onshore oil production 26 percent⁽¹⁾ as compared to 2017.

• Received approval for the first large-scale Comprehensive Drilling Plan across the Company’s Mustang area in the DJ Basin.

• Progressed the Leviathan project, offshore Israel, to approximately 75 percent complete.

• Executed gas sales agreements for up to 700 MMcf/d of natural gas, gross, to customers in Egypt from the Tamar and Leviathan fields.

• Negotiated Heads of Agreement to progress monetization of natural gas from the Alen field in Equatorial Guinea.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Results

The Company reported fourth quarter net loss attributable to Noble Energy of $824 million, or $1.72 per diluted share. Net loss including noncontrolling interest was $802 million. Excluding items impacting comparability, the Company generated adjusted net income⁽²⁾ and adjusted net income per share⁽²⁾ attributable to Noble Energy for the quarter of $56 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. Items removed for comparability purposes included unrealized commodity derivative impacts, gains/losses on asset divestitures, and impairments of certain assets. Adjusted EBITDAX⁽²⁾ was $733 million, and cash provided by operating activities was $560 million. Cash provided by operating activities before working capital changes was $622 million.

Total company sales volumes for the fourth quarter 2018 were 350 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d), above the upper end of the Company’s guidance range. Outperformance as compared to expectations was driven primarily by production in the DJ and Delaware Basins. Total Company liquids sales volumes (crude oil and natural gas liquids) averaged 205 thousand barrels per day (MBbl/d) for the fourth quarter 2018, or nearly 60 percent of total volumes. The Company’s U.S. onshore assets produced 72 percent of sales volumes, Equatorial Guinea (E.G.) represented 17 percent and Israel comprised 11 percent. As expected, sales volumes were greater than production by approximately 5 MBbl/d driven by the timing of liquid liftings in E.G.

Nearly 65 percent of the Company’s quarterly oil sales volumes in E.G. occurred in the month of December 2018, which impacted realized prices as compared to quarterly average Brent prices.

Unit production expenses for the fourth quarter 2018 were overall in-line with plan at $10.24 per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), including lease operating expenses (LOE), production taxes, gathering and transportation expenses, other royalty and marketing costs. LOE increased sequentially to $5.10 per BOE

2

as expected, primarily due to costs associated with E.G. liquid liftings. Depreciation, depletion and amortization was $16.02 per BOE and reflected the impact of year-end 2018 reserve bookings. General and administrative expenses totaled $69 million for the quarter, less than the Company had anticipated due to lower cash and stock-based compensation costs and improved recovery of overhead expenses.

Income from equity method investees for the fourth quarter totaled $32 million, primarily from the Company’s methanol and liquified petroleum gas operations in E.G.

Included in the Company’s results for the quarter was a $1.3 billion impairment of goodwill, which was associated with the Company’s Texas assets, primarily resulting from the drop in WTI forward strip pricing at the end of 2018.

Fourth quarter 2018 organic capital investments attributable to Noble Energy included $452 million related to U.S. onshore upstream activities and $24 million for midstream activities funded by the Company. The Company incurred $146 million in the Eastern Mediterranean, primarily for the development of the Leviathan project.

The results for Noble Midstream Partners LP ("NBLX") (NYSE: NBLX) are consolidated into Noble Energy’s financial statements, including an additional $37 million in midstream capital expenditures funded by NBLX in the fourth quarter. Midstream Services Revenue of $29 million for the quarter was primarily composed of NBLX's gathering revenue from unaffiliated third parties. The public’s 55 percent ownership of fourth quarter net income attributable to NBLX, $22 million, has been excluded from net income attributable to Noble Energy. NBLX averaged record quarterly oil and gas gathering volumes of 284 MBoe/d in the fourth quarter 2018.

Significant U.S. Onshore Reserve Additions

Total proved reserves at the end of 2018 were 1.93 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Removing the impact of asset divestments, reserves were up five percent from the end of 2017.  Reserve additions, comprised of extensions, discoveries and revisions, totaled 221 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe).  These

3

additions represented a replacement ratio of 171 percent of 2018 production. U.S. onshore reserve replacement was 214 percent at a cost of $11.86 per BOE. DJ and Delaware Basin reserves were up more than 21 percent and eight percent, respectively, year over year. In Israel, the Company booked more than 300 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent of gross reserve additions to reflect higher gas in place and recoverable resources at the Tamar field. Divestments totaled 128 MMBoe in 2018, which primarily represented the sale of the Company’s Gulf of Mexico assets and a 7.5 percent interest in the Tamar field.

Approximately 52 percent of the Company’s reserves were related to U.S. onshore assets, with 48 percent offshore in Israel and West Africa. The commodity breakdown of total reserves at the end of 2018 was 46 percent international gas, 37 percent liquids, and 17 percent U.S. onshore natural gas. Proved developed reserves represented approximately 39 percent of total proved reserves at the end of the year.

Record DJ Basin and Delaware Basin Production Leads Strong U.S. Onshore Performance

Total sales volumes across the Company’s U.S. onshore assets averaged 253 MBoe/d in the fourth quarter 2018. U.S. onshore oil volumes totaled a record 118 MBbl/d, up nearly 10 MBbl/d from the third quarter 2018. Total liquids of 178 MBbl/d was also a quarterly record for Noble Energy. Fourth quarter 2018 volumes reflect quarterly records for each of the Company’s DJ and Delaware Basin assets.

The DJ Basin averaged 138 MBoe/d, an increase of nine percent from the third quarter 2018, while continuing to generate substantial cash flows in excess of capital investments. The increased volumes for the fourth quarter were driven by continued strong well performance from the Mustang area and 22 new wells that commenced production (all in Wells Ranch). Oil volumes reached a quarterly record totaling 71 MBbl/d. Sales volumes from the initial row of development in Mustang averaged over 26 MBoe/d, gross (20 MBoe/d net), for the fourth quarter 2018, with more than 60 percent of the volume being oil. Production from Mustang continues to benefit from access to multiple gas processors and outlets.

In the fourth quarter, the Company received regulatory approval for the first large-scale Comprehensive Drilling Plan in the state of Colorado, naming Noble Energy sole operator across a 100 square mile position

4

in Mustang. The Company has received permits for more than 400 locations across the Mustang area, most of which are valid over a six-year time frame.

Sales volumes from the Company's Delaware Basin assets totaled 60 MBoe/d, representing increases of four percent from the third quarter 2018 and 57 percent from the fourth quarter 2017. During the quarter, the Company commenced production on 14 wells, with an average lateral length of 9,680 feet. Twelve of the new wells were located in the Wolfcamp zones and produced an average IP-30 rate of 1,712 Boe/d, or 182 Boe/d per 1,000 lateral feet. Two of the wells were located in the Third Bone Spring zone and averaged 210 Boe/d per 1,000 lateral feet over the first 30 days of production. The average oil mix for the new wells was in excess of 70 percent.

Sales volumes from the Eagle Ford totaled 55 MBoe/d for the fourth quarter, down 10 MBoe/d from the third quarter 2018. The asset continues to contribute significant operating cash flows for the Company. Four new wells commenced production at the end of 2018 from the Company’s L&E area located north of Gates Ranch. The Company continues to optimize base production, and completion activity in the Eagle Ford is expected to result in additional wells commencing production during the first quarter 2019.

Across the U.S. onshore portfolio, the Company drilled 50 wells in the fourth quarter, while completing and commencing production on 40 wells.

Progressing Offshore Major Projects While Maximizing Existing Cash Flows

Fourth quarter net sales volumes from the Company’s assets in Israel totaled 224 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day (MMcfe/d). Gross production from the Company’s assets in Israel averaged approximately one billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day. During the fourth quarter, the Company generated $143 million in after-tax proceeds from the divestment of 38.5 million shares of Tamar Petroleum.

The Leviathan project is approximately 75 percent complete. The Company has completed the installation of all in-field gathering lines, subsea trees, and fabrication of the jacket structure. The jacket arrived in Israel

5

waters in January 2019 and has been installed. All four production wells have been completed, and flow tests have confirmed the deliverability of more than 300 MMcfe/d per well. Construction of the platform continues, and the project remains on schedule for startup by the end of 2019.

Sales volumes for West Africa were 60 MBoe/d, including 20 MBbl/d of crude oil. Successful reservoir management, including optimized field injection, is delivering lower natural field declines than previously expected at the Company’s operated Aseng and Alen fields. Noble Energy continued final negotiations towards sanctioning the Alen gas monetization project.

Additional details for the fourth quarter and year-end results can be found in the Company’s latest presentation on the Company’s website, www.nblenergy.com.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Noble Energy and Per Share (Non-GAAP)

(in millions, except per share amounts, unaudited)

Adjusted net income attributable to Noble Energy and per share (Non-GAAP) should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income attributable to Noble Energy and per share (GAAP) or any other measure as reported in accordance with GAAP. Our management believes, and certain investors may find, that adjusted net income attributable to Noble Energy and per share (Non-GAAP) is beneficial in evaluating our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items affecting comparability (typically non-cash and/or nonrecurring items) that management does not consider to be indicative of our performance from period to period. We believe this Non-GAAP measure is used by analysts and investors to evaluate and compare our operating and financial performance across periods. As a performance measure, adjusted net income attributable to Noble Energy and per share (Non-GAAP) may be useful for comparison of earnings and per share to forecasts prepared by analysts and other third parties. However, our presentation of adjusted net income attributable to Noble Energy and per share (Non-GAAP), may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

www.nblenergy.com NYSE: NBL Forward-Looking Statements and Other Matters This presentation contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of federal securities laws. Words such as "anticipates", "plans", "estimates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "will", "should", "may", and similar expressions may be used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact and reflect Noble Energy's current views about future events. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, future financial and operating results, and other statements that are not historical facts, including estimates of oil and natural gas reserves and resources, estimates of future production, assumptions regarding future oil and natural gas pricing, planned drilling activity, future results of operations, projected cash flow and liquidity, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation will occur as projected and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and assumptions that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the volatility in commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas, the presence or recoverability of estimated reserves, the ability to replace reserves, environmental risks, drilling and operating risks, exploration and development risks, competition, government regulation or other actions, the ability of management to execute its plans to meet its goals and other risks inherent in Noble Energy's businesses that are discussed in Noble Energy's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and in other Noble Energy reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). These reports are also available from the sources described above. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Noble Energy does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements should circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions change The SEC requires oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. The SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves, however, we have not disclosed our probable and possible reserves in our filings with the SEC. We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as “net unrisked resources”, which by their nature are more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. The SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including these estimates in filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosures and risk factors in our most recent Form 10-K and in other reports on file with the SEC, available from Noble Energy’s offices or website, http://www.nblenergy.com. This presentation also contains certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including return on average capital employed, net free cash flow, operating cash flow margin, EBITDA and net debt. Due to the forward-looking nature of the aforementioned non-GAAP financial measures, management cannot reliably or reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as future impairments and future changes in working capital. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward- looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Amounts excluded from these non-GAAP measures in future periods could be significant.

NOBLE ENERGY PROVIDES 2019 GUIDANCE

Company focused on delivering sustainable organic free cash flow in 2020 and beyond

HOUSTON (February 19, 2019) -- Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NBL) (“Noble Energy” or the "Company”) today announced guidance for 2019, including planned capital expenditures and anticipated sales volumes.

David L. Stover, the Company's Chairman and CEO commented, “Recent market dynamics, including increased commodity price volatility, further highlight the need for our industry to prioritize capital discipline and corporate returns over top-line production growth. Our 2019 capital program and early 2020 outlook aligns capital investment with the environment and sets the stage for Noble Energy to generate sustainable organic free cash flow in 2020 and beyond.”

Stover added, “By the end of 2019, our high-return U.S. onshore business is anticipated to be self-funding, and it will underpin the Company’s production growth of five to ten percent per year, before the additional impact of major projects. We will be completing spend for Leviathan, offshore Israel, this year and commencing production and cash flow from the project by the end of the year. Our differentiated portfolio, combining high-quality U.S. onshore assets with long-life offshore production, provides competitive advantage through low base production declines and low maintenance capital needs. Our early 2020 outlook provides over $500 million in free cash flow⁽¹⁾ at strip pricing, which we plan to return to shareholders through the dividend and share repurchase program.”

Highlights from the Company’s 2019 plan include:

• Organic capital expenditures funded by Noble Energy are planned at a range of $2.4 to $2.6 billion, 17 percent lower at the midpoint compared to 2018.

• Total company volumes are anticipated in the range of 345-365 MBoe/d, an increase of 5 percent⁽³⁾ at the midpoint as compared to 2018.

• The Company’s U.S. onshore business is anticipated to deliver asset-level free cash flow⁽²⁾ by the end of 2019, while delivering total volume growth of approximately 10 percent⁽³⁾ and oil production growth of 13 percent⁽³⁾ from 2018 levels.

• First gas sales from Leviathan are expected by the end of 2019, delivering substantial production and cash flow growth in 2020.

Organic capital expenditures by area (in $MM) are estimated to be:

United States Onshore	1,600 - 1,700
NBL-funded Midstream	100 - 125
Eastern Mediterranean	550 - 600
West Africa	100 - 125
Other	50
Total	2,400 - 2,600

Sixty percent of the Company’s total organic capital for 2019 is expected to be spent in the first half of the year due to the timing of Leviathan spend and U.S. onshore activity. Excluded from the amounts above is an estimated $195 million of Noble Midstream Partners’ (NYSE: NBLX) capital, which will be consolidated into Noble Energy. Third-party customer activity represents 65 percent of the NBLX capital.

U.S. Onshore

Approximately 90 percent of Noble Energy’s U.S. onshore capital will be focused in the DJ and Delaware Basins. Activity in the DJ Basin includes progressing the second row of development in Mustang, which benefits from the Company’s approved Comprehensive Drilling Plan and access to multiple gas processing providers. In addition, Noble Energy expects to bring online a number of pads within Wells Ranch and East Pony. In the Delaware, operated activity is focused on row development primarily in the Wolfcamp A and Third Bone Spring zones. The Company will continue to optimize base production and cash flows from the Eagle Ford.

Noble Energy expects to commence production in 2019 on between 165-175 wells across the U.S. onshore, including 95-100 in the DJ Basin, 50-55 in the Delaware Basin and approximately 20 in the Eagle Ford. The second and third quarter are planned to have a higher count of wells commencing production as compared to the first and fourth quarters of the year.

The Company anticipates full-year 2019 average U.S. onshore sales volumes of between 262 and 278 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d). Combined, production from the DJ and Delaware Basins is expected to increase throughout 2019, up 15 to 20 percent⁽³⁾ on a full year basis. Sales volumes in the Eagle Ford are anticipated to be lower on a full year basis, with volumes growing from the first half to the second half of the year.

Compared to the second half of 2018, Noble Energy expects capital costs per well in 2019 to be lower by 10 to 15 percent. The majority of these costs savings have been realized through operational efficiencies and lower service costs.

International Offshore

Offshore, the Company is focused on maintaining its strong base production and cash flow in Israel and Equatorial Guinea (E.G.), while progressing the Leviathan project offshore Israel for first gas sales by the end of the year. In addition, Noble Energy expects to sanction the Alen gas monetization project in E.G. in the first half of 2019, with first gas sales estimated for the first half of 2021.

In Israel, gross natural gas sales volumes are anticipated to be flat to up slightly from 2018, reflecting the nearly fully utilized capacity of the Tamar field on an annual basis. Organic capital expenditures in the Eastern Mediterranean primarily comprise spending to complete the Leviathan project. Excluded from the Company’s organic capital expenditures guidance are costs related to an acquisition of interest in the EMG pipeline, which provides a connection point for the export of natural gas from Israel to Egypt.

In E.G., sales volumes are expected to be lower than 2018 due to natural field declines through the year and anticipated downtime for the third-party LNG facility turnaround in the first quarter. The Company’s 2019 capital expenditure guidance includes initial costs for the Alen gas monetization project as well an additional development well at the Aseng oil field to help mitigate field decline. First production from the Aseng development well is anticipated in the third quarter of 2019.

The Company’s new guidance for 2019 replaces its prior 2019 and multi-year outlook.

First Quarter 2019 Guidance

The Company anticipates sales volumes in the first quarter in the range of 321 to 336 MBoe/d. In E.G., sales volumes are anticipated to be lower than the fourth quarter 2018 by approximately 15 MBoe/d as a result of the timing of oil liftings (production is anticipated to be greater than sales) and the turnaround maintenance at the third-party LNG facility. The variance from the fourth quarter 2018 is estimated to be

40 percent from oil volumes and 60 percent from natural gas volumes, which will also result in equity method investment income being lower than prior quarters.

U.S. onshore sales volumes in the first quarter 2019 are also anticipated to be slightly lower than the fourth quarter 2018 as a result of the timing of well activities in late 2018 and early 2019. The first quarter is planned to be the low quarter for wells commencing production in 2019. Natural decline in the Eagle Ford will also impact the first quarter 2019. Second half U.S. onshore production is anticipated to be approximately 15 percent higher than the first half of the year.

The Company’s planned first quarter organic capital expenditures of between $725 and $800 million are anticipated to be the highest quarter of 2019, driven by the timing of drilling and completion activities in the U.S. onshore business as well as Leviathan spend.

Additional full-year and first quarter 2019 guidance details are available in the latest presentation deck provided on the ‘Investors’ page of the Company’s website, www.nblenergy.com.
