Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Note 2. Basis of Presentation Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 contain all normally recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and equity for such periods. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For the periods presented, net income is materially consistent with comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of subsidiaries which Noble Energy wholly owns, and the accounts of Noble Midstream Partners LP (Noble Midstream Partners), which is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) for which Noble Energy is the primary beneficiary. In addition, we use the equity method of accounting for investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we exert significant influence. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic and commodity price environment. Leases We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease based on the conveyed rights and obligations at the inception date. If an agreement contains an operating or financing lease, at the commencement date, we record a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of the minimum lease payments. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, we use our hypothetical secured borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement. Further, we make a number of estimates and judgments regarding the lease term and lease payments. Lease Term Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one month to one year or more. Additionally, some of our leases include an option for early termination. We include renewal periods and exclude termination periods from our lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that we will exercise the option. Lease Payments Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or passage of time. These step payments are included within our present value calculation as they are known adjustments at commencement. Some of our lease agreements include variable payments that are excluded from our present value calculation. For example, drilling rig ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded using the contractual standby rate, which is the fixed, minimum monthly payment, as opposed to the operating rate, which varies depending on the asset's use. Additionally, we have lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, such as equipment maintenance, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. For these leases, lease payments include all fixed payments stated within the contract. For office space, lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees that would impact our lease payments. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, using a five-step process, in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Under ASC 606, remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm sales arrangements for which volumes have not been delivered. In Israel, certain of our Tamar natural gas contracts have fixed annual sales volumes and fixed base pricing with annual index escalations. The following table includes estimated revenues, as of March 31, 2019 , for those agreements. Our actual future sales volumes may exceed future minimum volume commitments. (millions) Remainder of 2019 2020 Total Natural Gas Revenues (1) $ 108 $ 116 $ 224 (1) The remaining performance obligations are estimated using the contractual base or floor price provision in effect. Future revenues under these contracts will vary from the amounts above due to components of variable consideration exceeding the contractual base or floor price provision. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest On March 25, 2019 , Noble Midstream Partners secured a $200 million equity commitment (preferred equity) from Global Infrastructure Partners Capital Solutions Fund (GIP), of which $100 million has been funded, with associated offering costs of $3 million . The preferred equity was recorded initially at fair value on the issuance date. As GIP’s redemption right is outside of Noble Midstream Partners' control, the preferred equity is not considered to be a component of equity on the consolidated balance sheet, and such preferred equity is reported as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, because the preferred equity was issued by a subsidiary of Noble Midstream Partners and is held by a third party, it is considered a redeemable noncontrolling interest. Subsequent to issuance, we accrete changes in the redemption value of the preferred equity from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the preferred equity. Accretion for first quarter 2019 was also de minimis. See Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures . Recently Issued Accounting Standards Financial Instruments: Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13): Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses. The amended standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and shall be applied using a modified retrospective approach. From evaluation of our current credit portfolio, which includes receivables for commodity sales, joint interest billings due from partners and other receivables, historical credit losses have been de minimis and we believe that our expected future credit losses will not be significant. As such, based on our current portfolio, we do not believe adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. As our implementation team progresses assessment, we will continue to monitor changes in our credit portfolio in light of the provisions in ASU 2016-13. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15 (ASU 2018-15): Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amended standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2018-15. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), which created Topic 842 – Leases (ASC 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases. ASC 842 also requires disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This standard does not apply to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas or similar nonregenerative resources, including the intangible right to explore for those resources and rights to use the land in in which those natural resources are contained. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients. We elected: • the package of transition “practical expedients”, permitting us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; • the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, allowing us to account for existing land easements under previous accounting policy; and • the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases (elected by asset class). We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and, therefore, prior period financial statements were not adjusted. At adoption, we recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $282 million and $287 million , respectively, primarily related to operating leases. The difference between amounts recorded for ROU assets and amounts recorded for lease liabilities totaled $5 million . This amount was recognized as other operating expense. Our accounting for finance leases remains substantially unchanged. Adoption did not materially impact our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income and had no impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows. See Note 8. Leases . Derivatives and Hedging – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-12 (ASU 2017-12): Derivatives and Hedging – Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The update is intended to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition to that main objective, ASU 2017-12 makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current US GAAP. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have an impact on our financial statements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Note 3. Segment Information We have the following reportable segments: United States (US onshore and Gulf of Mexico (until April 2018)); Eastern Mediterranean (Israel and Cyprus); West Africa (Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon); Other International (Canada and New Ventures, including Colombia); and Midstream. The Midstream segment includes the consolidated accounts of Noble Midstream Partners and other US onshore midstream assets. The geographical reportable segments are in the business of crude oil and natural gas acquisition and exploration, development, and production (Oil and Gas Exploration and Production). The Midstream reportable segment develops, owns, and operates domestic midstream infrastructure assets, as well as invests in other midstream projects.

Acquisitions and Divestitures | Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures We maintain an ongoing portfolio management program and have engaged in various transactions over recent years. 2019 Asset Transactions Divestiture of Reeves County Assets In February 2019, we closed the sale of certain proved and unproved non-core acreage in the Delaware Basin totaling approximately 13,000 net acres in southwestern Reeves County, Texas. We received cash consideration of $131 million , recognizing no gain or loss on the sale. EPIC Pipelines In first quarter 2019, Noble Midstream Partners exercised and closed options with EPIC Midstream Holdings, LP (EPIC) to acquire a 15% equity interest in EPIC Y-Grade, LP (EPIC Y-Grade), which is constructing the EPIC Y-grade pipeline from the Delaware Basin to Corpus Christi, Texas, and a 30% equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP (EPIC Crude Holdings), which is constructing the EPIC crude oil pipeline also from the Delaware Basin to Corpus Christi, Texas. Cash consideration totaled $ 227 million. These investments are accounted for using the equity method. Also, on March 25, 2019 , Noble Midstream Partners secured a $200 million preferred equity commitment from GIP to fund capital contributions to Dos Rios Crude Intermediate LLC, a subsidiary formed by Noble Midstream Partners to hold the 30% equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings. GIP funded $100 million and the remaining $100 million is available for a one-year period, subject to certain conditions precedent. The preferred equity is perpetual and has a 6.5% annual dividend rate, payable quarterly in cash, with the ability to defer payment during the first two years following the closing. In addition, Noble Midstream Partners can redeem the preferred equity in whole or in part at any time for cash at a predetermined redemption price. GIP can request redemption of the preferred equity following the later of the sixth anniversary of the preferred equity closing or the fifth anniversary of the EPIC crude oil pipeline completion date at a pre-determined base return. Proceeds from the preferred equity issuance were used to repay a portion of outstanding borrowings under the Noble Midstream Services Revolving Credit Facility, which were drawn to fund its exercise of the option to invest in EPIC Crude Holdings. See Note. 2 Basis of Presentation and Note 13. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . Delaware Crossing Joint Venture In February 2019, Noble Midstream Partners executed definitive agreements with Salt Creek Midstream LLC (Salt Creek) to form a 50/50 joint venture, Delaware Crossing LLC (Delaware Crossing), to construct a 160 MBbl/d day crude oil pipeline system in the Delaware Basin. As Salt Creek had commenced construction of the pipeline prior to formation of the joint venture, Noble Midstream Partners made capital contributions of $38 million at closing. This investment is accounted for using the equity method. Other Divestitures, Net In first quarter 2019, we also closed the sales of certain other non-core US onshore properties which resulted in net payments of approximately $8 million . 2018 Asset Transactions Divestiture of Gulf of Mexico Assets In February 2018, we announced plans to sell our Gulf of Mexico assets for cash consideration of $ 480 million, along with the assumption, by the purchaser, of all abandonment obligations associated with the properties. As of March 31, 2018, we reduced the net book value of the Gulf of Mexico assets to $480 million . In addition, we retained certain transaction related obligations approximating $92 million which were subsequently settled upon closing. During first quarter 2018, we recorded impairment expense of $ 168 million associated with these assets held for sale. The transaction closed in second quarter 2018. Divestiture of 7.5% Interest in Tamar Field In March 2018, we closed the sale of a 7.5% working interest in the Tamar field to Tamar Petroleum Ltd., a publicly traded entity on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (Tamar Petroleum, TASE: TMRP). Total consideration included cash of $487 million and 38.5 million shares of Tamar Petroleum that had a publicly traded value of $224 million . Total consideration received from the sale was applied to the field's basis and resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax gain of $386 million and tax expense of $90 million . In October 2018, we sold our shares in Tamar Petroleum. The sale was in accordance with the terms of the Israel Natural Gas Framework and completed our obligation to reduce our ownership interest in the Tamar field from 32.5% to 25% by year-end 2021. Divestiture of Southwest Royalties In January 2018, we closed the sale of our investment in Southwest Royalties, Inc. We received proceeds of $60 million , recognizing no gain or loss on the sale. Divestiture of Marcellus Shale CONE Gathering In January 2018, we closed the sale of our 50% interest in CONE Gathering LLC (CONE Gathering) to CNX Resources Corporation. CONE Gathering owns the general partner of CNX Midstream Partners LP (CNX Midstream Partners, NYSE: CNXM). We received proceeds of $308 million in cash and recognized a pre-tax gain of $196 million . After the sale, we held 21.7 million common units, representing a 33.5% limited partner interest, in CNX Midstream Partners, which were subsequently divested in 2018. Noble Midstream Partners Saddle Butte Acquisition In January 2018, Noble Midstream Partners acquired a 54.4% interest in Black Diamond Gathering LLC (Black Diamond), an entity formed by Black Diamond Gathering Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Noble Midstream Partners, and Greenfield Midstream, LLC (Greenfield), which completed the acquisition of Saddle Butte Rockies Midstream, LLC and affiliates (collectively, Saddle Butte) from Saddle Butte Pipeline II, LLC. Saddle Butte owned a large-scale integrated gathering system, located in the DJ Basin, which we subsequently renamed the Black Diamond gathering system. Consideration totaled $681 million and Black Diamond is consolidated as a VIE. We accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method. The total purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on acquisition date fair values, and we recognized goodwill for the amount of the purchase price exceeding the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The final purchase price allocation included: $206 million to property, plant and equipment; $340 million to customer-related intangible assets (acquired customer contracts); and $110 million to implied goodwill. Other Divestitures, Net In first quarter 2018, we also closed the sales of other non-core US onshore properties and received net cash consideration of approximately $ 10 million , recording a gain of $6 million |

Capitalized Exploratory Well Costs and Undeveloped Leasehold Costs | Note 5. Capitalized Exploratory Well Costs and Undeveloped Leasehold Costs Capitalized Exploratory Well Costs We capitalize exploratory well costs until a determination is made that the well has found proved reserves or is deemed noncommercial. On a quarterly basis, we review the status of suspended exploratory well costs and assess the development of these projects. If a well is deemed to be noncommercial, the well costs are charged to exploration expense as dry hole cost. There were no significant changes to our capitalized exploratory well costs during the period. The following table provides an aging of capitalized exploratory well costs based on the date that drilling commenced: (millions, except number of projects) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Exploratory Well Costs Capitalized for a Period of One Year or Less $ 9 $ 6 Exploratory Well Costs Capitalized for a Period Greater Than One Year Since Commencement of Drilling 350 348 Capitalized Exploratory Well Costs, End of Period $ 359 $ 354 Number of Projects with Exploratory Well Costs That Have Been Capitalized for a Period Greater Than One Year Since Commencement of Drilling 7 7 Undeveloped Leasehold Costs Undeveloped leasehold costs are derived from allocated fair values as a result of business combinations or other purchases of unproved properties and are subject to impairment testing. We reclassify undeveloped leasehold costs to proved property costs when, as a result of exploration and development activities, probable and possible resources are reclassified to proved reserves, including proved undeveloped reserves. On the other hand, if, based upon a change in exploration plans, timing and extent of development activities, availability of capital and suitable rig and drilling equipment, resource potential, comparative economics, changing regulations and/or other factors, an impairment is indicated, we record impairment expense related to the respective leases or licenses. Changes in undeveloped leasehold costs were as follows: (millions) Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Undeveloped Leasehold Costs, Beginning of Period $ 2,306 Additions to Undeveloped Leasehold Costs 47 Transfers to Proved Properties — Assets Sold (2 ) Undeveloped Leasehold Costs, End of Period $ 2,351 As of March 31, 2019 , undeveloped leasehold costs included $2.1 billion, $100 million, $70 million, and $59 million attributable to the Delaware Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, other US onshore properties and international properties, respectively. |

Commercial Paper Program In first quarter 2019, we established a commercial paper program to provide for short-term funding needs. The program allows for a maximum of $4.0 billion of unsecured commercial paper notes and is supported by Noble Energy’s Revolving Credit Facility. Commercial paper generally has a maturity of between 1 and 90 days, although it can have a maturity of up to 397 days. The commercial paper is sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and notes are either issued at a discounted price relative to the principal face value or will bear interest at varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. Such discounted prices or interest amounts are dependent on market conditions and ratings assigned to the commercial paper program by credit agencies at the time of commercial paper issuance. No borrowings or repayments occurred during first quarter 2019 under the commercial paper program. Fair Value of Debt See Note 13. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures |

Exit Costs - Transportation Commitments | Note 9. Exit Cost – Transportation Commitments In connection with the divestiture of Marcellus Shale upstream assets in 2017, we retained certain financial commitments on pipelines flowing natural gas production inside and outside of the Marcellus Basin. These financial commitments represent commitments to pay transportation fees; thus, we have no commitment to physically transport minimum volumes of natural gas. Since closing, we have continued efforts to commercialize these firm transportation commitments, including permanent assignment of capacity, negotiation of capacity releases, utilization of capacity through purchase and transport of third-party natural gas, and other potential arrangements. In the event we execute a permanent assignment of capacity, we no longer have a contractual obligation to the pipeline company and, as such, our gross contractual commitment is reduced. In the event we execute a capacity release or utilize capacity through the purchase and transport of natural gas, we remain the primary obligor to the pipeline company. While our gross contractual commitment is not reduced, except through use under those arrangements, we would receive future cash payments from the third-parties with whom we negotiated a capacity release or from the sale of purchased natural gas to third-parties. As of March 31, 2019 , our gross retained firm transportation commitment for the remaining obligations under these agreements, which have remaining terms of approximately four to fourteen years, is approximately $ 1.1 billion , undiscounted. Leach Xpress and Rayne Xpress Permanent Assignment In January 2019, we executed agreements on the Leach Xpress and Rayne Xpress pipelines to permanently assign remaining capacity to a third-party effective January 1, 2021, extending through the end of the contract. The permanent assignment reduced our total financial commitment by approximately $350 million , undiscounted. As a result of the assignment, we recorded firm transportation exit cost of $92 million, discounted, related to future commitments to the third party. We will continue efforts to mitigate the impact of these transportation agreements during 2019 and 2020. Financial Statement Impact In addition to the retained firm transportation commitments, we have the following accrued discounted liabilities associated with exit cost activities, including the permanent assignment described above: Three Months Ended March 31, (millions) 2019 2018 Balance at Beginning of Period (1) $ 80 $ 90 Firm Transportation Exit Cost Accrual 92 — Payments, Net of Accretion (5 ) (6 ) Balance at End of Period 167 84 Less: Current Portion Included in Other Current Liabilities 11 11 Long-term Portion Included in Other Noncurrent Liabilities at End of Period $ 156 $ 73 (1) Balances include current accruals of $13 million which are included in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any litigation. We are defending ourselves vigorously in all such matters, and we believe that the ultimate disposition of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Colorado Air Matter In April 2015, we entered into a joint consent decree (Consent Decree) with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), US Department of Justice, and State of Colorado to improve emission control systems at a number of our condensate storage tanks that are part of our upstream crude oil and natural gas operations within the Non-Attainment Area of the DJ Basin. The Consent Decree, entered by the US District Court for the District of Colorado on June 2, 2015, requires us to perform certain corrective actions, to complete mitigation projects and supplemental environmental projects (SEP), and to pay a civil penalty. Costs associated with the settlement consist of $5 million in civil penalties which were paid in 2015. Mitigation costs of $5 million , SEP costs of $4 million , and costs associated with the injunctive relief are being expended in accordance with schedules established in the Consent Decree. Since 2015, we have incurred approximately $84 million , of which $78 million was incurred to undertake corrective actions at certain tank systems following the outcome of adequacy of design evaluations and certain operation and maintenance activities to handle potential peak instantaneous vapor flow rates. Future costs associated with injunctive relief are not yet precisely quantifiable as we are continually evaluating various approaches to meet the ongoing obligations of the Consent Decree. We have concluded that the penalties, injunctive relief, and mitigation expenditures that result from this settlement, based on currently available information, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 6. Asset Retirement Obligations . Colorado Water Quality Control Division Matter In January 2017, we received a Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order (NOV/CDO) advising us of alleged violations of the Colorado Water Quality Control Act (Act) and its implementing regulations as it relates to our Colorado Discharge Permit System General Permit for construction activities associated with oil and gas exploration and/or production within our Wells Ranch Drilling and Production field located in Weld County, Colorado (Permit). The NOV/CDO further orders us to cease and desist from all violations of the Act, the regulations and the Permit and to undertake certain corrective actions. In October 2018, we met with enforcement staff at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to discuss a potential settlement of the alleged violations. Given the ongoing status of such settlement discussions, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this action at this time, but believe that the resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The ETR for first quarter 2019 varied as compared with 2018 , primarily due to a $145 million discrete tax benefit recorded in first quarter 2018 as a result of the intent of the US Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service to issue additional regulatory guidance associated with Tax Reform Legislation and the transition tax (toll tax). In addition, first quarter 2018 includes foreign taxes on a gain related to the divestiture of a 7.5% interest in the Tamar field, offshore Israel. In our major tax jurisdictions, the earliest years remaining open to examination are as follows: US – 2014 , Israel – 2015 (2013 with respect to Israel Oil Profits Tax) and Equatorial Guinea – 2013 |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note 12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Objective and Strategies for Using Derivative Instruments We enter into crude oil and natural gas price hedging arrangements in an effort to mitigate the effects of commodity price volatility and enhance the predictability of cash flows relating to the marketing of a portion of our crude oil and natural gas production. While these instruments mitigate the cash flow risk of future decreases in commodity prices, they may also curtail benefits from future increases in commodity prices. Unsettled Commodity Derivative Instruments As of March 31, 2019 , the following crude oil derivative contracts were outstanding: Swaps Collars Settlement Period Type of Contract Index Bbls Per Day Weighted Average Differential Weighted Average Fixed Price Weighted Average Short Put Price Weighted Average Floor Price Weighted Average Ceiling Price 2019 Swaps NYMEX WTI 22,000 $ — $ 56.96 $ — $ — $ — 2019 Three-Way Collars NYMEX WTI 33,000 — — 49.35 59.35 72.25 2019 Swaption NYMEX WTI 5,000 — 62.50 — — — 2019 Swaps ICE Brent 5,000 — 57.00 — — — 2019 Three-Way Collars ICE Brent 3,000 — — 43.00 50.00 64.07 2019 Basis Swaps (1) 27,000 (3.23 ) — — — — 2020 Swaption NYMEX WTI 5,000 — 61.79 — — — 2020 Three-Way Collars NYMEX WTI 10,000 — — 50.00 58.00 67.37 2020 Basis Swaps (1) 15,000 (5.01 ) — — — — (1) We entered into crude oil basis swap contracts to establish a fixed amount for the differential between pricing in Midland, Texas, and Cushing, Oklahoma.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures | Note 13. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments. Mutual Fund Investments Our mutual fund investments consist of various publicly-traded mutual funds that include investments ranging from equities to money market instruments. Fair values are based on quoted market prices for identical assets. Commodity Derivative Instruments Our commodity derivative instruments may include variable to fixed price commodity swaps, two-way collars, three-way collars, swaptions, enhanced swaps and basis swaps. We estimate the fair values using published forward commodity price curves as of the date of the estimate. The discount rate used in the cash flow projections is based on published LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures rates and interest swap rates. The fair values of commodity derivative instruments in an asset position include a measure of counterparty nonperformance risk, and instruments in a liability position include a measure of our own nonperformance risk, each based on the current published credit default swap rates. In addition, for collars, we estimate the values of put options sold and contract floors and ceilings using an option pricing model which considers market volatility, market prices and contract terms. See Note 12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . Deferred Compensation Liability Fair value is dependent upon the fair values of mutual fund investments and shares of our common stock held in a rabbi trust. See Mutual Fund Investments, above . Stock-Based Compensation Liability A portion of the value of the liability associated with our phantom unit plan is dependent upon the fair value of Noble Energy common stock at the end of each reporting period. Measurement information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows: Fair Value Measurements Using (millions) Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Adjustment (1) Fair Value Measurement March 31, 2019 Financial Assets: Mutual Fund Investments $ 41 $ — $ — $ — $ 41 Commodity Derivative Instruments — 23 — (13 ) 10 Financial Liabilities: Commodity Derivative Instruments — (96 ) — 13 (83 ) Portion of Deferred Compensation Liability Measured at Fair Value (48 ) — — — (48 ) Stock Based Compensation Liability Measured at Fair Value (1 ) — — — (1 ) December 31, 2018 Financial Assets: Mutual Fund Investments $ 38 $ — $ — $ — $ 38 Commodity Derivative Instruments — 187 — (7 ) 180 Financial Liabilities: Commodity Derivative Instruments — (34 ) — 7 (27 ) Portion of Deferred Compensation Liability Measured at Fair Value (43 ) — — — (43 ) Stock Based Compensation Liability Measured at Fair Value (8 ) — — — (8 ) (1) Amount represents the impact of netting provisions within our master agreements allowing us to net cash settled asset and liability positions with the same counterparty. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Firm Transportation Exit Cost Accrual In January 2019, we recorded a firm transportation exit cost liability at fair value of $92 million, representing the discounted present value of our remaining obligation under a permanent pipeline capacity assignment in the Marcellus Shale. See Note 9. Exit Cost – Transportation Commitments . Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest As of March 31, 2019, we recorded redeemable noncontrolling interest, associated with the issuance of GIP preferred equity, at fair value of $ 97 million, representing issuance date proceeds of $100 million netted with associated issuance costs of $3 million . See Note 4. Acquisitions and Divestitures . Additional Fair Value Disclosures Debt The fair value of fixed-rate, public debt is estimated based on published market prices. As such, we consider the fair value this debt to be a Level 1 measurement on the fair value hierarchy. Our non-public debt, including our Revolving Credit Facility, Noble Midstream Services Revolving Credit Facility, Noble Midstream Services Term Loan Credit Facility and borrowings under the commercial paper program, are subject to variable interest rates. The fair value is estimated based on significant other observable inputs; thus, we consider the fair values to be Level 2 measurements on the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7. Debt . Fair value information regarding our debt is as follows: March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 (millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Long-Term Debt (1) $ 6,622 $ 6,841 $ 6,452 $ 6,121 (1) Excludes unamortized discount, debt issuance costs and finance lease obligations.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Noble Energy Common Shareholders | Note 14. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Noble Energy Common Shareholders Noble Energy's basic (loss) income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Noble Energy by the weighted average number of shares of Noble Energy common stock outstanding during each period. The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted (loss) income per share: Three Months Ended March 31, (millions, except per share amounts) 2019 2018 Net (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income Attributable to Noble Energy $ (313 ) $ 554 Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding, Basic (1) 478 487 Incremental Shares from Assumed Conversion of Dilutive Stock Options, Restricted Stock, and Shares of Common Stock in Rabbi Trust — 1 Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding, Diluted 478 488 (Loss) Income Per Share, Basic $ (0.65 ) $ 1.14 (Loss) Income Per Share, Diluted $ (0.65 ) $ 1.14 Number of Antidilutive Stock Options, Shares of Restricted Stock, and Shares of Common Stock in Rabbi Trust Excluded from Calculation Above 15 16 (1) Decrease in weighted average number of shares outstanding reflects the impact of Noble Energy common stock repurchased in 2018 pursuant to our $750 million |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Presentation | Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (US GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 contain all normally recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and equity for such periods. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. For the periods presented, net income is materially consistent with comprehensive income or loss. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 . These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 |
Consolidation | Consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts, the accounts of subsidiaries which Noble Energy wholly owns, and the accounts of Noble Midstream Partners LP (Noble Midstream Partners), which is considered a variable interest entity (VIE) for which Noble Energy is the primary beneficiary. In addition, we use the equity method of accounting for investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we exert significant influence. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Estimates | Estimates |
Leases | Leases We determine whether an arrangement contains a lease based on the conveyed rights and obligations at the inception date. If an agreement contains an operating or financing lease, at the commencement date, we record a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of the minimum lease payments. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit borrowing rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, we use our hypothetical secured borrowing rate based on information available at lease commencement. Further, we make a number of estimates and judgments regarding the lease term and lease payments. Lease Term Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one month to one year or more. Additionally, some of our leases include an option for early termination. We include renewal periods and exclude termination periods from our lease term if, at commencement, it is reasonably likely that we will exercise the option. Lease Payments Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation or passage of time. These step payments are included within our present value calculation as they are known adjustments at commencement. Some of our lease agreements include variable payments that are excluded from our present value calculation. For example, drilling rig ROU assets and lease liabilities are recorded using the contractual standby rate, which is the fixed, minimum monthly payment, as opposed to the operating rate, which varies depending on the asset's use. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer, using a five-step process, in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). |
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest | On March 25, 2019 , Noble Midstream Partners secured a $200 million equity commitment (preferred equity) from Global Infrastructure Partners Capital Solutions Fund (GIP), of which $100 million has been funded, with associated offering costs of $3 million |
Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards Financial Instruments: Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13): Financial Instruments – Credit Losses , which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses. The update is intended to provide financial statement users with more useful information about expected credit losses. The amended standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and shall be applied using a modified retrospective approach. From evaluation of our current credit portfolio, which includes receivables for commodity sales, joint interest billings due from partners and other receivables, historical credit losses have been de minimis and we believe that our expected future credit losses will not be significant. As such, based on our current portfolio, we do not believe adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our financial statements. As our implementation team progresses assessment, we will continue to monitor changes in our credit portfolio in light of the provisions in ASU 2016-13. Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15 (ASU 2018-15): Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amended standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2018-15. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), which created Topic 842 – Leases (ASC 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leases. ASC 842 also requires disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This standard does not apply to leases to explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas or similar nonregenerative resources, including the intangible right to explore for those resources and rights to use the land in in which those natural resources are contained. The new standard provided a number of optional practical expedients. We elected: • the package of transition “practical expedients”, permitting us not to reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; • the practical expedient pertaining to land easements, allowing us to account for existing land easements under previous accounting policy; and • the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases (elected by asset class). We adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and, therefore, prior period financial statements were not adjusted. At adoption, we recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities of $282 million and $287 million , respectively, primarily related to operating leases. The difference between amounts recorded for ROU assets and amounts recorded for lease liabilities totaled $5 million |
