Davidson has been CEO and on the board since joining the company in 2000, Noble Energy said.

He continued, "I am announcing my plans to retire next year with full confidence that the team led by Dave Stover will successfully deliver our exceptionally strong growth plan over the coming years.”
Davidson added, “Dave has played a key role in Noble Energy's success in recent years, and has all the necessary skills to lead the company to even greater performance in the future. While it will be extremely difficult for me to leave my fellow employees at Noble Energy, I will leave knowing that the time is right and that the board has thoroughly planned for this leadership transition and succession."
