NXT Energy Solutions, (formerly Energy Exploration Technologies) depends on a quantum physics-based technology to explore for oil and gas. NXT Energy Solutions Inc. is working to commercialize a remote-sensing airborne survey technology known as Stress Field Detector (SFD), and it plans to use the technology in its quest to become a global leader in oil and gas exploration in Canada, Africa, and the Middle East. Unlike other remote methods, SFD solutions deliver unique indicators of structure and reservoir potential, which enable companies to quickly focus their exploration activities on the most prospective areas. SFD data offers an independent verification of reservoir potential that can be used to significantly reduce exploration risk when empirically correlated to other data and known reservoir analogs. NXT Energy Solutions Inc. wide-area reconnaisance surveys are used to prioritize oil and gas prospects for further evaluation through conventional seismic and drilling technologies. CEO George Liszicasz, who invented the technology in 1992, owns 17% of the company.
