Noble Energy Is Now Chevron
We provide local jobs and strengthen the economy
The women of Noble Energy play a vital role in safely delivering the energy Coloradans need — as engineers helping drive change and community leaders bettering lives in Weld County.
- Our workers are essential – we employ hundreds of Weld County residents and thousands of small contractors and business owners who are keeping natural gas flowing through the pandemic
- Strong regulations help ensure environmental protection
- We partner with local organizations supporting families and children through the Weld Food Bank, Women’s Fund of Weld County, Weld County 4-H and others
- The Colorado oil and natural gas industry pays an annual average of $700 million in property taxes – 40% goes to Weld County Schools, 20% goes to county operations, and 11% into local fire districts
We are deploying new technology to protect air quality
New technology helps us reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases by more than 90% - helping fight climate change. The result is some of the cleanest oil and natural gas production on the planet. This kind of investment in technology is important in Weld County to keep our air clean, to reduce ozone formation, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Electric drilling rigs eliminate local emissions and reduce noise
- We use infrared cameras to monitor for leaks
- It now takes only about 7.5 acres of land for wells and facilities to produce the amount of energy that used to require more than 400 acres – a reduction of more than 95%
- We are consolidating our facilities and fluids via pipeline instead of trucks – reducing nearly 350,000 truck trips per year on Weld County roads
We produce some of the cleanest oil and natural gas on the planet
We live and work in Weld County, and we understand the importance of clean air. We recently conducted an air study to monitor emissions during drilling, fracking, and production. We used a combination of new, emerging, and established technologies that included drones and high-tech emissions sensors to collect data. We are using our findings to further improve our operations and ensure we are protecting public health and the environment.
- We use technology and innovation to continuously improve our operations
- We focus our new operations in rural areas away from communities, where we can reduce surface and environmental impact
- Our newest production facilities eliminate more than 90% of greenhouse gas emissions
- Our Noble Operations Control Center enables us to remotely monitor/control automated facilities
