 Chevron NYSE: CVX recently agreed to acquire Noble Energy NASDAQ: NBL for 13 billion, which includes the assumption of debt. While the main draw was Nobles oil and gas assets -- especially its positions in the Permian Basin and offshore Israel -- Chevron would pick up several other intriguing assets, including Nobles stake in master limited partnership Noble Midstream Partners NYSE: NBLX. Noble Energy currently owns a 63 stake in Noble Midstream following a strategic transaction late last year to eliminate management fees and acquire its remaining midstream assets.
