Abstract The bleach of red beds above the oil and gas reservoirs caused by the hydrocarbon microseepage is one of the usual indicators in indirect search for oil and gas by remote sensing technology. Therefore, the mapping of ferriferous minerals and the information extraction of iron anomalies play an important role in oil and gas remote sensing exploration. As a new generation of the multispectral image, the spectral resolution of ALI (Advanced Land Imager) has a great improvement compared with the ETM+ imagery. ALI has six bands in the 0.4~1.0μm wavelength region and can represent special spectral characteristics of ferriferous minerals in the 0.4~1.0μm region, so it can be used for the mapping of ferriferous minerals and the information extraction of iron anomalies. In this paper, the three-lake region of Qaidam basin was chosen as the study area, in which gas reservoirs are developed. An ALI image and the spectral angle mapping (SAM) method were used to map the distribution of ferriferous minerals, with a good result obtained. Based on the mapping result, the paper has discussed the spatial relationship of the ferriferous minerals to gas anomaly and gas distribution.
