A small team with deep coal-seam experience.
Novus was formed to do one thing well: take coal-seam gas resources others have found too difficult and make them commercial. The team pairs subsurface depth with commercial structuring experience and lean field delivery.
Built for the unlock.
Novus Energy is an Australian-owned and Australian-based coal-seam gas developer. We work on brownfields projects that conventional operators have set aside, applying proprietary technology and disciplined commercial structuring.
Our current asset is Glenaras in the Galilee Basin. We are also actively negotiating an international asset — watch this space.
