| Notes |
In 1932 Lloyd Noble diversified into oil production to complement the drilling side of the business and to operate the producing properties he had acquired during his first decade of operations. The producing Company was named Samedan Oil Corporation in tribute to his three children, Sam, Ed, and Ann and subsequently renamed Noble Energy.
Upon his death in 1950, Lloyd Noble’s interests in Noble Drilling and Samedan* were transferred to The Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, a charitable foundation Lloyd Noble had formed in 1945. |
