Introductory Note

This Schedule 13D relates to the beneficial ownership by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) of the common units representing limited partner interests (the Common Units) of Noble Midstream Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the Issuer). This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Reporting Persons pursuant to their joint filing agreement (the Joint Filing Statement) filed as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D.

On October 5, 2020, Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Chevron), completed its previously announced acquisition of Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble), the indirect general partner and majority unitholder of the Issuer, through the merger of Chelsea Merger Sub Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron (Merger Subsidiary), with and into Noble (the Merger), with Noble surviving and continuing as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron.

At the effective time of the Merger, in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 20, 2020 (the Merger Agreement), by and among Noble, Chevron and Merger Subsidiary, each outstanding share of common stock of Noble (except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.1191 of a share of common stock of Chevron, plus cash in lieu of any fractional Chevron shares that otherwise would have been issued.

As a result of the Merger, Chevron (i) indirectly, wholly owns and controls Noble Midstream GP LLC (the General Partner), the Issuers general partner, and (ii) indirectly holds approximately 62.5% of the Issuers Common Units.

On October 5, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Kenneth M. Fisher, Thomas H. Walker, Rachel G. Clingman and Brent J. Smolik resigned from the board of directors (the Board) of the General Partner effective immediately following the consummation of the Merger.

On October 5. 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, Chevron appointed Alana K. Knowles, Stephen W. Green, Colin E. Parfitt and Andrei F.B. Behdjet to the Board. Additionally, Mr. Parfitt was appointed as Chairman of the Board.

On October 5, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Board appointed Robin H. Fielder as President and Chief Executive Officer of the General Partner, to succeed Brent J. Smolik in such role.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit H hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Contribution Agreement

On June 26, 2017, pursuant to the certain Contribution Agreement, dated June 20, 2017 (the Contribution Agreement) by and among the Issuer, the General Partner, Midstream Services, NBL Midstream and Blanco River DevCo GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Midstream Services, NBL Midstream contributed to the Issuer (i) the remaining 20% limited partner interest in Colorado River DevCo and (ii) a 15% limited partner interest in Blanco River DevCo (collectively, (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the Contributed Assets). In consideration for the acquisition of the Contributed Assets, the Issuer agreed to pay NBL Midstream total aggregate consideration of $270 million, consisting of (i) consideration of $245 million in cash and (ii) 562,430 Common Units issued to NBL Midstream.

Contribution and Simplification Agreement

On November 14, 2019, pursuant to the Contribution, Conveyance, Assumption and Simplification Agreement (the Contribution and Simplification Agreement), dated November 14, 2019, by and among the Issuer, the General Partner, Noble, Midstream Services, NBL Midstream, and NBL Midstream Holdings, the Issuer agreed to acquire from NBL Midstream (i) a 60% limited partner interest in Blanco River DevCo LP, (ii) a 75% limited partner interest in Green River DevCo LP, (iii) a 75% limited partner interest in San Juan River DevCo LP and (iv) all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of NBL Holdings (collectively, (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) are referred to herein as the Contributed Interests). Additionally, NBL Midstream and the Issuer caused the General Partner to amend the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer (the Original Partnership Agreement) in order to recapitalize and convert the IDRs into Common Units. In consideration for the acquisition of the Contributed Interests and the conversion of the IDRs, the Issuer agreed to pay NBL Midstream total consideration of $1.6 billion, consisting of (i) consideration of $670 million in cash and (ii) 38,455,018 Common Units issued to NBL Midstream. On November 14, 2019, in connection with the Simplification, the General Partner executed the Partnership Agreement (as defined below), which reflects the conversion of the IDRs to Common Units.

The Partnership Agreement

The General Partner and NBL Midstream, as the organizational limited partner of the Issuer, are party to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Issuer (the Partnership Agreement). The General Partner and NBL Midstream were also party to the Original Partnership Agreement, which, as described above, was amended and restated in relation to the Contribution and Simplification Agreement in order to recapitalize and convert the IDRs into Common Units.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership Agreement requires that, within 45 days following the end of each quarter, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2016, the Issuer distribute all of its Available Cash (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to such quarter to partners of record on the applicable record date selected by the General Partner in accordance with each limited partners percentage interest in the Issuer, less any cash reserves that may be established by the General Partner in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement refers to this amount as Available Cash.

The amount of distributions the Issuer will pay is subject tothe General Partners determination of cash reserves in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Additionally, certain restrictions in the Issuers revolving credit facility and term loan credit facilities may restrict the Issuers ability to make distributions.

 

8

Issuance of Additional Units

The Partnership Agreement authorizes the Issuer to issue an unlimited number of additional partnership interests (other than General Partner interests) for such consideration and on the terms and conditions determined by the General Partner without the approval of any limited partner.

Limited Voting Rights

The General Partner will manage and operate the Issuer. Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, the limited partners will have only limited voting rights on matters affecting the Issuers business. The Issuers limited partners will have no right to elect the General Partner or its directors on an annual or other continuing basis. The General Partner may not be removed except for cause and by a vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding units, including any units owned by the General Partner and its affiliates, voting together as a single class. NBL Midstream owns an aggregate of 62.5% of the Issuers Common Units. This gives NBL Midstream the ability to prevent the involuntary removal of the General Partner.

Limited Call Right

If at any time the General Partner and its affiliates own more than 80% of the then-issued and outstanding limited partner interests of any class, the General Partner will have the right, which it may assign and transfer in whole or in part to the Issuer or any affiliate of the General Partner, to acquire all, but not less than all, of the limited partner interests of such class issued and outstanding held by persons (other than the General Partner and its affiliates) as of a record date to be selected by the General Partner, on at least 10, but not more than 60, days written notice prior to the purchase date. The purchase price in the event of this purchase is the greater of:

 

the highest cash price paid by either the General Partner or any of its affiliates for any limited partner interests of such class purchased within the 90 days preceding the date that the notice is mailed; and

 

the current market price calculated in accordance with the Partnership Agreement as of the date three business days before the date that the notice is mailed.

Registration Rights

Under the Partnership Agreement, the Issuer has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws any Common Units or other limited partnership interests proposed to be sold by the General Partner or any of its affiliates or their assignees if an exemption from the registration requirements is not otherwise available. These registration rights will continue for two years following any withdrawal or removal of the General Partner as general partner. The Issuer is obligated to pay all expenses incidental to the registration, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions.

The General Partners Limited Liability Company Agreement

Under the First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the General Partner (the General Partner LLC Agreement), NBL Midstream has the right to elect the members of the board of directors of the General Partner.

Merger Agreement

The information provided or incorporated by reference in the Introductory Note above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

To the Reporting Persons knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.

Copies of each of the General Partner LLC Agreement, the Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement, Contribution Agreement, the Partnership Agreement, Contribution and Simplification Agreement, including amendments to each of these agreements, and the Merger Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits C, D, E, F, G and H, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
