Delivering Energy for Syria.
Restoring Capacity and Driving Growth.

 

Novaterra Energy is committed to investing in Syria,
to rebuild and enhance the country’s energy security,
underpinning its return to sustained economic growth.


We provide fit-for-purpose exploration, development
and production solutions to strengthen and expand
Syria’s domestic natural gas and oil supply.

Integrated Oil and Gas Solutions for Energy Security

Novaterra specialises in restoring and developing oil and natural gas resources in challenging environments. Our capabilities span the upstream value chain, encompassing exploration, development, and long-term production operations.

Our aim is to expand Syria’s oil production and gas supply for power generation by restoring production from existing fields, bringing on-stream discovered accumulations, and exploring for and developing further resources. We will do this safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively, using best international practices.

Our success will rely on strengthening Syria’s national workforce to create a skilled talent base, ensuring Syrians lead and sustain their country’s energy and economic recovery.

Oil & Gas Restoration

Rapid rehabilitation of shut-in fields, wells, and facilities, applying deep technical expertise and operational excellence to safely return assets to production.

Field Development

Exploration, appraisal, and phased development of discovered resources, underpinned by strong upstream expertise and disciplined project execution.

Production Optimization

Well intervention, infill drilling, infrastructure upgrades, and the systematic embedding of operational excellence to maximise recovery and performance.

Partnership Delivery

Structured joint ventures with national companies and international operators, leveraging upstream expertise and operational best practices to deliver shared value.

Empowerment, Training & Development

Building Syrian capability through local workforce integration, structured training programmes, mentoring, and secondments — fostering a culture of operational excellence at every level.

Addressing Syria’s Urgent Energy Challenge

Syria’s power generation sector is critically short of reliable, cost-effective gas supply. Existing in-country gas production meets less than half of current demand, forcing reliance on expensive imported gas which places a heavy burden on the country’s economy.

With new power generation capacity under development, restoring and expanding domestic gas production is ever more urgent. Even small additions to supply can deliver immediate national benefit.

Novaterra’s focus is to deliver practical, near-term gas supply solutions while laying the foundation for long-term energy resilience.

Driving Syria’s Energy Future with Purpose and Integrity

Novaterra Energy exists to deliver reliable domestic gas that strengthens Syria’s economy, reduces imports, and supports the needs of its people. We are guided by a clear vision and focused mission, anchored in core values that define how we operate, the impact we strive to make, and the way we work with our partners and local communities.
