Most fracture characterization methods provide a general description of the fracture parameters as part of the reservoirs parameters; the fracture interaction and geometry within the reservoir is given less attention. T-Matrix and Linear Slip effective medium fracture models are implemented to invert the elastic tensor for the parameters and geometries of the fractures within the reservoir. The fracture inverse problem has an ill-posed, overdetermined, underconstrained rank-deficit system of equations. Least-squares inverse methods are used to solve the problem. A good starting initial model for the parameters is a key factor in the reliability of the inversion. Most methods assume that the starting parameters are close to the solution to avoid inaccurate local minimum solutions. The prior knowledge of the fracture parameters and their geometry is not available. We develop a hybrid, enumerative and Gauss-Newton, method that estimates the fracture parameters and geometry from the elastic tensor with no prior knowledge of the initial parameter values. The fracture parameters are separated into two groups. The first group contains the fracture parameters with no prior information, and the second group contains the parameters with known prior information. Different models are generated from the first group parameters by sampling the solution space over a predefined range of possible solutions for each parameter. Each model generated by the first group is fixed and used as a starting model to invert for the second group of parameters using the Gauss-Newton method. The least-squares residual between the observed elastic tensor and the estimated elastic tensor is calculated for each model. The model parameters that yield the least-squares residual corresponds to the correct fracture reservoir parameters and geometry. Two synthetic examples of fractured reservoirs with oil and gas saturations were inverted with no prior information about the fracture properties. The results showed that the hybrid algorithm successfully predicted the fracture parametrization, geometry, and the fluid content within the modeled reservoir. The method was also applied on an elastic tensor extracted from the Weyburn field in Saskatchewan, Canada. The solution suggested no presence of fractures but only a VTI system caused by the shale layering in the targeted reservoir, this interpretation is supported by other Weyburn field data.
