One of the world's largest offshore drilling contractors, Noble hires out a young fleet of drillships, semisubmersibles, and jackup rigs on a daily rate to oil giants like ExxonMobil, BP, and Petrobras, drilling in deep water from the US Gulf to the North Sea. It grew out of an Oklahoma hardware store: oil struck on a farm the Noble brothers took as payment for a debt led their nephew Lloyd Noble to found the drilling business in 1921. In the early 1950s it became the first company to drill offshore using electricity sent from shore off the Louisiana coast.
