During an earnings call last week, Noble executives reported a $283 million net loss for the 2015 Q3 along with plans to trim capital spending and curtail exploration activity. Like many others, the company is putting these measures into place until the market rebounds enough to support increased spending.

In addition to the losses, Noble will lay off 180 jobs, including some in its Eagle Ford operations, according to Fuelfix. In April, the company cut 230 jobs.
