About BaseTrace

About company

BaseTrace is a service that provides DNA-based tracers for environmental monitoring targeted at companies involved hydraulic fracturing, which may pose the risk of contamination or leakage. These well-specific tracers can be added to hydraulic fracturing ("fracking" or “fracing”) fluid, which is used for shale gas extraction. BaseTrace's quick and simple analysis can be used to determine whether hydraulic fracturing fluid has migrated into drinking water and help resolve liability concerns. BaseTrace provides a range of services for gas producers that are useful tools for problem detection, limiting liability, and increasing accountability with communities concerned with protecting their water.
