Abstract
A method may comprise obtaining a formation sample, scanning the formation sample to form a data packet, loading the data packet on an information handling machine, performing a digital porous plate experiment with the data packet, and determining geometry of a pore throat in the formation sample. A system may comprise a computer tomographic machine configured to scan a formation sample and create a data packet from the scan and an information handling system. The information handling system may be configured to configured to perform a digital porous plate experiment with the data packet and determine geometry of a pore throat in the formation sample.
