A New Transformation Method of the T₂ Spectrum Based on Ordered Clustering—A Case Study on the Pore-Throat Utilization Rule of Supercritical CO₂ Flooding in L... by Yanchun Su, Chunhua Zhao, Xianjie Li, Xiujun Wang, Jian Zhang, Bo Huang, Xiaofeng Tian, Mingxi Liu, Kaoping Song

“…It is generally believed that there is a power function relationship between transverse relaxation time (T₂) and pore-throat radius (r), but the segmentation process of the pore-throat interval is subjective, which affects the conversion accuracy. In this paper, ordered clustering is used to improve the existing segmentation method of the pore-throat interval, eliminate the subjectivity in the segmentation process, and obtain a more accurate distribution curve of the pore-throat. …”
