Gravity field is distorted by stress
Discontinuities affect regional/local stress distribution
changes in stress orientationentering reservoir
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.

SFD ® - A Quantum Technology
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.

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, 4th largest world-wide E&P, further validating the use of SFD!
