    Accurate quantification of mineralogical composition in carbonate rocks is essential for reservoir characterization in the oil industry, directly influencing petrophysical properties such as porosity and permeability. However, traditional methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) are destructive and provide limited spatial sampling. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a workflow for the continuous quantification of calcite and dolomite in drill cores from the Brazilian pre-salt oil province by integrating short-wave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and Machine-Learning algorithms. A total of 80 m of cores were evaluated using 170 XRD-validated samples to calibrate linear, nonlinear, and ensemble models. The results showed that the combination of Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) preprocessing with Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) achieved the best performance, reaching an R2 of 0.84. Explainable Artificial Intelligence (SHAP) confirmed the relevance of diagnostic bands between 2330 and 2360 nm, improving geological interpretability of the predictions. The proposed methodology provides a non-destructive and high-resolution alternative for mineralogical profiling, supporting the evaluation of complex reservoirs and decision-making in the oil and gas industry. Although the workflow was validated using a specific pre-salt dataset, future studies should assess its transferability to other carbonate reservoirs and broader geological settings.
