Hyperspectral analysis of shale gas drilling in southern Huangling anticline

In this paper, the visible near infrared, short wave red, and thermal infrared spectral data and high-definition core images of three wells in Huangling anticline in Western Hubei are obtained by hylogger. Through comprehensive analysis, it can be seen that the thickness of Niutitang Formation is decreasing from west to East, However, the thickness of Doushantuo Formation is basically the same, ranging from 210m to 220m. Quartz, clay minerals, carbonate and limonite are the main minerals in Niutitang formation, while in Doushantuo Formation dolomite is the main mineral. Dolomite fracture is developed in this area, which is a favorable area for shale gas development.
