Abstract:
Abstract:The hydrocarbon leakages associated with the subsurface oil and gas reservoirs (fields) usually cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the near-surface materials and spectral reflectance anomalies. The spectral reflectance anomalies are shown by the position offset and intensity change of spectral absorption valley or reflection peak. Aerial hyperspectral images also display gray and color changes, which makes hydrocarbon microleakage detectable by aerilal hyperspectral technology. Therefore, the aerial hyperspectral technology also becomes an effective method for oil and gas survey and research. This aerial hyperspectral technology has been applied to Zhundong area (2500 km2). The collection of the aerial hyperspectral remote sensing data in the CASI/SASI/TASI area can provide the information of clay, carbonate, ferrous iron related to hydrocarbon. Such information was used to make comparison with the hyperspectral anomalies for the existing oil and gas reservoirs (fields) and, as a result, helped to find two oil and gas favorable areas, i.e., Liushuhe and Santaizhen.
