CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec 16, 2013) - NXT Energy Solutions Inc. ("NXT Energy" or the "Company") (TSX-VENTURE:SFD)(OTCBB:NSFDF) announces that it has been awarded an additional US $2.22 million SFD® survey contract by Kerogen Exploration LLC ("Kerogen"). This new survey brings the cumulative value of the four individual survey projects which have recently been awarded by Kerogen to US $3.68 million.

Kerogen is a private company financed by Riverstone Holdings LLC, a New York based private equity firm, and holds sizeable land positions in both Texas and Florida.

Murray Grigg, Kerogen's President and CEO noted "We are very pleased with the initial results from our first Florida survey, as the SFD® data confirmed exploration leads which we were aware of through existing geophysical data. On this basis, we have now expanded the geographic areas which are covered by this second SFD® survey in Florida."

George Liszicasz, NXT's President & CEO noted "We recently delivered our preliminary findings on the initial Florida SFD® survey for Kerogen. We are very impressed with how quickly Kerogen was able to assess these results, and then act to add additional flight lines, which expanded the scope of the initial survey significantly. This clearly illustrates how our rapid survey project design and execution fits well with our exploration client's goals."

Data acquisition operations for this new Florida survey have commenced, and are expected to be completed this week. The Company's recommendations on the SFD® survey data for this new Florida project, as well on Kerogen's initial Florida and Texas surveys, are planned to be delivered in Q1-2014.
