NXT Energy Solutions, Inc. (NSFDF)
NXT Energy Solutions, an international airborne geophysical service company, utilizes their proprietary SFD® (Stress Field Detection) technology to provide a unique geophysical indicator that can be used early in the exploration cycle to provide an independent assessment of reservoir potential. When combined with seismic and other geologic data, SFD can significantly reduce exploration risks and costs.
NXT Energy Solutions' proprietary airborne SFD survey system provides a proprietary survey method that can be used onshore and offshore to identify potential hydrocarbon traps and reservoirs remotely. The SFD survey system enables the company's clients to focus their hydrocarbon exploration decisions concerning land commitments, data acquisition expenditures, and prospect prioritization, on areas with the greatest potential. SFD is environmentally friendly and unaffected by ground security issues or difficult terrain.
The company's clients utilize SFD to make time-critical regional exploration decisions about acquiring/relinquishing lands.
