How much gas was discovered? Modest by global standards (approx. 36 TCF): Israel Tamar 10 tcf (283 bcm); proven Leviathan 18-19 tcf (510-540 bcm); estimated Additional fields 3 tcf (85 bcm); estimated Gaza Marine Field 1 tcf (30 bcm); estimated Cyprus Overall - 3-5 tcf (80-140 bcm); estimated Yet enough to satisfy local demand for the next 40-50 years Source: Brenda Shaffer

How much is left for exports? Approx. 15-18 tcf (400-500 bcm) for export: Half will likely go to Jordan and Pal. Territories Only 7-11 tcf (200-300 bcm) left for export beyond the East Med region Exports not trapped by politics Low reserves High regional demand Other sources will come online Source: Brenda Schaffer

Potential for the region Discoveries may help region in many ways: No more water conflicts Economic development thanks to cheap gas Reliable electricity supply in contrast to current situation Trade may reinforce political agreements Increases public health by reducing pollution Source: Brenda Schaffer

Forward-looking Statements and Other Matters This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities law. Words such as anticipates, 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. They include 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 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 business that are discussed in its most recent Form 10- K and in other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These reports are also available from Noble Energy s offices or website, http://www.nobleenergyinc.com. 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 forward-looking statements should circumstances or management's estimates or opinions change. This presentation also contains certain historical and forward-looking non-gaap measures of financial performance that management believes are good tools for internal use and the investment community in evaluating Noble Energy s overall financial performance. These non-gaap measures are broadly used to value and compare companies in the crude oil and natural gas industry. Please also see Noble Energy s website at http://www.nobleenergyinc.com under Investors for reconciliations of the differences between any historical non-gaap measures used in this presentation and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The GAAP measures most comparable to the forward-looking non-gaap financial measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort. The Securities and Exchange Commission 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 use certain terms in this presentation, such as discovered unbooked resources, resources, risked resources, recoverable resources, unrisked resources, unrisked exploration prospectivity and estimated ultimate recovery (EUR). These estimates are by their nature 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.nobleenergyinc.com.
