Fred Baldassare, P.G.
Owner/Sr. Geoscientist
Consulting Services
- Fred Baldassare has 25 years of experience as a geologist and more than 18 years of experience and expertise in the application and
interpretation of molecular and isotope geochemistry data for gas and water. Properly interpreted, isotope geochemistry
provides the highest level of geochemical evidence for the origin of natural gases in the environment.
Fred's research has helped to pioneer the application of isotope geochemistry to identify and characterize the origin and
source of stray gases, dissolved, and gas phase gases in soils, aquifers, shallow formations and natural gas producing
formations in the Appalachian Basin. He has also developed widely employed stray gas investigation samples, and monitoring protocols,
and interim and long term remediation measures. Fred's methodology has proven consistently successful to identify the origin
and specific sources of stray gases and to differentiate the origin of natural gases in the subsurface.
- ECHELON provides written reports of analytical data including interpretations of molecular and isotope geochemistry data to
identify gas origin and source. Data are evaluated and processed to determine thermal maturity, mixing, oxidation, and for comparison
with other gases.
- Additional services include:
- Sample acquisition for molecular & isotopic analyses.
- Analyses, interpretation, and data base management of pre-drill and post-drill samples for molecular and isotopic analyses.
- Guidance & oversight for site characterization including soil gas and groundwater sampling & monitoring programs.
- Guidance & oversight for installation of interim and permanent stray gas remediation strategies.
- Reviews and interpretations of gas well mudgas geochemistry.
- Education and training on emergency response preparedness for stray gas migration incidents.
- Education and training on the application of geochemical data to identify the origin of gases, elements of site characterization, monitoring, and remediation. Training can be tailored to specific client requirements.
- ECHELON is affiliated with professional firms to provide full service for implementation of pre-drill sampling programs, site characterization, mapping, monitoring, and remediation for stray gas migration.
