2 NXT Energy Solutions Inc. NXT Energy Solutions Inc. is a service provider to the upstream Oil & Gas Industry: SFD® Survey System SFD ® Survey System Engaged in exploration reconnaissance. We identify and rank high-potential prospect leads using a unique airborne survey method. A Canadian Public Company
NXT’s Onshore / Offshore NXT’s method will identify the best oil and gas prospects 10 times faster, and at up to1/20 the cost of seismic…. Onshore / Offshore 3 SFD® SFD ® “Stress Field Detection” SFD ® (Patent Pending)

9 SH min SH max Gravity field is distorted by stress Discontinuities affect regional/local stress distribution changes in stress orientation entering reservoir SFD ® SFD ® responds to perturbations in the gravity field related to changes in stress direction
Recent scientific advancements validate the premise of using quantum devices for potential field surveys. What’s New? DARPA* Research Note, September 20, 2012: “... micro-scale inertial sensors work like a focault pendulum. (the) sensors send out vibrations (and) the precession of a standing wave is measured...” * Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) University of Waterloo; Facility Opening – September 2012: “... Research at IQC aims to harness (the) unique properties of quantum mechanics to build unprecedented technologies, such as... highly efficient sensors...” 10 SFD ® - A Quantum Technology
SFD SFD® Product A recommended target map of anomalies identified by SFD ® interpretation, rated on both reservoir and trap characteristics. From this SFD ® based Prospectivity map, seismic can be tailored to maximize results and minimize cost miles

14 Highlights of the PEMEX 2012 SFD survey project: initial survey covered vast area (over 100,000 sq. km) covered varying geological areas and the Gulf of Mexico (e.g. salt traps) the survey was designed to assess SFD correlation with existing geophysical data and producing fields and to identify new exploration prospects the total project with recommendations was delivered in only 4 months PEMEX is assessing the potential for new SFD surveys for 2013 PEMEX requested NXT to co-author a technical paper, which includes SFD / seismic correlation. The paper will be presented at the June 2013 Congreso Mexicano del Petroleo in Mexico. Importance? – PEMEX, 4 th largest world-wide E&P, further validating the use of SFD!
