This doesn't answer the question. It might very well not be answerable unless Blockchair shares how their internal format works, or someone reverse-engineers it.

<p>I have nonstandard tx output. txid is <code>03acfae47d1e0b7674f1193237099d1553d3d8a93ecc85c18c4bec37544fe386</code>.
And I want to express the tx output with specific unique address. Blockchain explorers all seem to use the same convention for representing <code>scriptpubkey</code>.

<p>How can I derive the address like them?
I tried sha256, sha256+ripemd160, md5 etc.</p>

I want to know how to derive that address `272edf45031dd498e7b3ae89e11ff21b` string.
Blockchair and other places use the same encoding.

Blockchair and 3xpl are projects by the same people. I have never heard of oraclus, and I don’t think this representation of non-standard outputs is used broadly.

Some other blockchain explorers show the address as NULL or UNKNOWN. Someone raised a support request at Blockchair for this. See https://github.com/Blockchair/Blockchair.Support/issues/1487
