Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Noble Midstream Partners LP (the “Partnership”) and has been adjusted to reflect the following transactions:
(1)
On November 14, 2019, the Partnership entered into a Contribution, Conveyance, Assumption and Simplification Agreement (the “Contribution and Simplification Agreement”) by and among the Partnership, Noble Midstream GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), Noble Energy, Inc. (“Noble”), Noble Midstream Services, LLC, NBL Midstream, LLC, a subsidiary of Noble (“NBL Midstream”), and NBL Midstream Holdings LLC (“NBL Holdings”). Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution and Simplification Agreement, the Partnership acquired 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 (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to herein as the “Contributed DevCo Interests”) and (iv) all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of NBL Holdings (the “Contributed NBL Holdings Interests”) (collectively, the acquisition of the Contributed DevCo Interests and Contributed NBL Holdings Interests is referred to as the “Drop-Down Transaction”). Additionally, NBL Midstream and the Partnership caused the General Partner to amend the partnership agreement in order to recapitalize and convert the Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) into common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”) (such recapitalization and conversion, the “Simplification” and together with the Drop-Down Transaction, the “Transaction”). In consideration for the Transaction, the Partnership paid NBL Midstream total consideration of $1.6 billion, which consisted of $670 million in cash and 38,455,018 Common Units issued to NBL Midstream.
(2)
On November 14, 2019, the Partnership entered into a Common Unit Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors (the “Investors”) to sell 12,077,295 Common Units in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $250 million (the “Private Placement”). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on November 21, 2019. The proceeds from the Private Placement were utilized to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Transaction.
(3)
On November 21, 2019, the Partnership drew $420 million on its revolving credit facility. The proceeds from the revolving credit facility were utilized to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Transaction.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives effect to the transactions outlined above as if they had occurred on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 give effect to the transactions outlined above as if they had occurred on January 1, 2016. Activity associated with any assets acquired by NBL Holdings subsequent to January 1, 2016 will reflect activity during the period of common control.
This financial information reflects the assets, liabilities and results of operations of our predecessor for periods prior to September 20, 2016, the date on which we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”). Certain pro forma adjustments reflect a proration between our predecessor and the Partnership.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with (i) the Partnership’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 7, 2019, and (ii) the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, that was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019.
Management believes that the assumptions made herein provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions outlined above and are supportable, directly attributable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the Partnership’s operating results. The notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated combined financial information provide a detailed discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results would have been had the transactions to which the pro forma adjustments relate occurred on the dates indicated and they do not purport to project our results for any future period.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the years ended December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 give effect to the transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2016. Activity associated with any assets acquired by NBL Holdings subsequent to January 1, 2016 will reflect activity during the period of common control.
Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions and, therefore, the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. We have only included adjustments that are directly attributable to the transactions, factually supportable and, with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. A general description of these transactions and adjustments is provided as follows:
(a) Represents the assets and operations associated with the Contributed NBL Holdings Interests.
(b) Represents the elimination of the non-economic General Partner and IDRs in connection with the Simplification.
(c) Represents the elimination of the noncontrolling interests in connection with the Contributed DevCo Interests. Subsequent to the acquisition of the Contributed DevCo Interests, the Partnership indirectly owns a 100% interest in each of Blanco River DevCo LP, Green River DevCo LP, San Juan River DevCo LP.
(d) Represents the cash and financing transactions associated with the Transaction and Private Placement. The cash and financing transactions are as follows (in thousands):
