Claim One:
1. A method for characterizing a fractured wellbore comprising a plurality of reservoir zones, comprising: obtaining static data and production data from the plurality of reservoir zones; integrating the static data and the production data using Bayes' theorem; calculating a plurality of probability-based model parameters for each of the plurality of reservoir zones using Bayes' theorem; iteratively optimizing the plurality of probability-based model parameters using an objective function, Jδm=−e, wherein: J is a Jacobian based on the static data, the production data, and the plurality of probability-based model parameters, e is an estimate of error between observed values and expected values of the static data, the production data, and the plurality of probability-based model parameters, and δm is a change in a normal score transform of the plurality of probability-based parameters in a posterior distribution; and altering completion of the fractured wellbore using the plurality of probability-based model parameters.
