High-grading exploration prospects
Explore for What’s Below — From the Air
NXT’s patented SFD® survey system is a rapid, cost-effective airborne method that reduces exploration risk in frontier basins and mature provinces alike — identifying structural, stratigraphic, and combination traps. Non-intrusive. Proven across 600,000+ line-kilometres worldwide.

The problem we solve
An Additional Line of Evidence for Exploration
Exploration programmes involve significant capital commitment, and not every prospect will produce. SFD® adds a new, independent dataset to your geophysical toolbox — acting as a first-pass reconnaissance tool that helps high-grade areas of interest before committing to heavier programmes.
How it works
Airborne Sensing. Subsurface Answers.
We turn subtle gravitational signals into clear subsurface insights. SFD sensors detect density variations linked to fluid entrapment, while fixed-wing surveys ensure consistent coverage across any terrain. The result: ranked prospect maps and anomaly classifications, ready to integrate into your G&G workflows.
Step 1
Detect
SFD® sensors respond to subsurface stress field and pore pressure conditions associated with fluid entrapment in reservoir rock.
Step 2
Survey
Surveys are flown from a Citation 560 jet in customised grid patterns designed around your exploration objectives. Onshore, offshore, jungle, arctic — terrain does not restrict operations.
Step 3
Deliver
Final deliverables include anomaly maps, ranked lead areas, and integrated prospectivity maps that fit directly into your existing G&G workflows.
Worldwide experience
Proven Across Diverse Basins Worldwide
From PEMEX blind tests in Mexico to YPFB frontier exploration in Bolivia to Pakistan Petroleum’s prospect validation — SFD® has been independently tested and validated by national oil companies and major operators.
