Noble Energy Inc.'s (NBL) third-quarter earnings fell 7.2% as hedging impacts masked the oil-and-gas explorer's stronger revenue and sales volume.

Major initiatives for this year include projects in Israel and Equatorial Guinea .

Excluding hedging impacts, the asset sale and other items, earnings rose to 97 cents from 41 cents.
