Noble Corporation to Host Analyst Day

ZUG, Switzerland, March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE) today announced that it will host an Analyst Day for the financial community on May 17-18, 2011 at the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore.  The event will begin with a dinner with Noble's senior management on the evening of May 17.  On the morning of May 18, Noble's management will make presentations with information related to the Company's strategy, drilling market segments, project execution, and the Noble Bully I, an ultra-deepwater drillship that is being built under a joint venture with Shell.  A tour of the Noble Bully I and the upgraded stern section of the deepwater drillship Noble Roger Eason, both under construction at the shipyard, will follow the presentations. The Noble Bully I is expected to be drydocked at the time of the event, potentially offering a unique opportunity to view the rig's thrusters in addition to the rest of the unit's advanced technology, much of which has been developed taking advantage of Shell's deepwater expertise.  A webcast of the presentations will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's Web site.  Noble also will post a copy of the presentation materials on the Company's Web site at the time of the event.

Williams, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Noble Corporation.  "We look forward to giving investors and analysts both an update on the Company's operations and outlook as well as the opportunity to personally examine not only the construction quality of the Bully units, but to view demonstrations of the innovative, advanced technology on the rigs that we believe will enable our customers to pursue their exploration and production goals more efficiently and safely."
