Abstract Oil content is an important parameter of tar sands resource evaluation and utilization. They are time-consuming, large toxicity solvent, complex operation, and sample ruining problems in traditional oil content determination method of tar sands. Reflection spectroscopy can provide a fast and nondestructive method in the analysis of material composition. Therefore, the oil content of tar sands can be calculated quickly and nondestructively by analyzing the characteristics of high spectral data of tar sands. But the bands of high spectral data are too many and the data are large redundancy. In order to improve the utilization rate of spectral data, the correlation coefficient was used as the measuring index for screening the sensitive band of hydrocarbons in tar sands. On the one hand, the oil rate inversion models were established by hydrocarbon spectral index constructed by the sensitive spectral bands of hydrocarbon. On the other hand, the absorption features were quantified by spectral absorption characteristic parameters and the inversion models of oil content were established. The results showed that the selected bands by correlation coefficient could be used to indicate the oil content; the spectral index models by first-order differential treatment were better than the original reflectance; the oil content inversion models constructed by the spectral absorption area of the seven characteristic absorption bands were superior to other forms.

Introduction Tar sands are sandstone and carbonatite-containing hydrocarbons at or near the surface. As a kind of unconventional oil and gas resource, it plays a major role in the world energy structure because of its abundant resources (Clerici and Alimonti 2015). Oil content is an important parameter in the evaluation of tar sands resource, and it is also an important basis for judging whether tar sands & Ruixue Fan [email protected] 1

resource has development and utilization value. However, the traditional method of oil content determination is complicated and the solvent is very toxic. The principle and method of analyzing material composition by reflection spectra are gradually mature and have been widely used. Because tar sands not onl
