Abstract
Systems and methods for developing hydrocarbon reservoirs based on constrained natural fracture parameters. A natural fracture modeling is generated for a reservoir, an initial set of fracture model parameters is determined, and a fracture model optimization is conducted to determine an optimized set of fracture model parameters. The optimized set of fracture model parameters are used as a basis for modeling the reservoir, and the modeling is used to generate a simulation of the reservoir.
