The Company is focused largely on ultra-deepwater and high-specification jackup drilling opportunities in both established and emerging regions worldwide.Employment Fraud AlertRecently, we have been made aware of "scams" whereby unauthorized individuals are using Noble's name and logo to solicit potential job-seekers for employment or to extend fraudulent job offers. Such scams are unfortunately somewhat common and have targeted many companies around the world, including Noble. We are aware of some cases where job-seekers are being contacted directly, by phone and/or e-mail. In other instances, these unauthorized individuals may place advertisements for fake positions with both legitimate websites and fabricated ones. These individuals typically promise high-paying jobs with the requirement that the job-seeker send money to pay for things such as visa applications or processing fees.Please be advised that Noble will never ask potential job-seekers for any sort of advance payment as part of the recruiting or hiring process.
