Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information
11. Segment Information
During second quarter 2017, as a result of the strategic changes in our US onshore portfolio, we established our Midstream business as a new reportable segment. The Midstream segment, which includes the consolidated accounts of Noble Midstream Partners, additional US onshore midstream assets and US onshore equity method investments, was previously reported within the United States reportable segment. As a result, as of June 30, 2017, we now have five reportable segments, United States (US onshore and Gulf of Mexico); Eastern Mediterranean (Israel and Cyprus); West Africa (Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon and Gabon); Other International (Falkland Islands, Suriname, Canada and New Ventures); and Midstream.
The geographical reportable segments are in the business of crude oil and natural gas exploration, development, production, and acquisition (Oil and Gas Exploration and Production). The Midstream reportable segment owns, operates, develops and acquires domestic midstream infrastructure assets with current focus areas being the DJ and Delaware Basins. The Corporate reportable segment incurs expenses related to debt, headquarters depreciation and corporate general and administrative cost.
Prior period amounts are presented on a comparable basis.

(1) Income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily relates to the North Sea remediation project revision. See Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Note 9. Asset Retirement Obligations.
(2) The intersegment eliminations related to (loss) income before income taxes are the result of midstream expenditures.  These costs are presented as property, plant and equipment within the upstream business on an unconsolidated basis, in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting, and are eliminated upon consolidation.
(3) Goodwill in our United States reportable segment is associated with our Texas reporting unit. See Note 2. Basis of Presentation.
