How to determine the production shares of free gas and adsorbed gas in deep coalbed methane wells can affect the optimization of coalbed methane development technology policy, the prediction of development indexes, and the evaluation of development effect, thus having a very important field application value. Conventional method for determining the production shares of free gas and adsorbed gas in deep coalbed methane mining can be found in Chinese patent CN115860266A, a shale gas/coalbed methane well production evaluation method, system and electronic equipment, which relates to a technical field of shale gas/coalbed methane production evaluation. The method comprises: establishing a simulation model of a target horizontal well based on reservoir parameters as well as drilling and completing parameters of the target well; constructing a set of control equations and their corresponding initial conditions and boundary conditions based on the above model, and solving the set of control equations under the initial conditions and boundary conditions to compute productivity evaluation parameters of the target well in the production process; fitting the measured productivity evaluation parameters with the computed productivity evaluation parameters, using the key parameters and productivity evaluation parameters corresponding to the optimal fitting results as the optimal key parameters and final productivity evaluation parameters for the target well in the production process, respectively.

The deviation factor calculation expression Z=−8×10−66P3+0.0006P2−0.0159P+0.9808 in the Step (1) was adopted to calculate the deviation factor Z1=0.832387 corresponding to the formation pressure P+ΔP=26.005 MPa and the deviation factor Z2=0.832397 corresponding to the formation pressure P−ΔP=25.995 MPa.

It took T days for the formation pressure to drop from P+ΔP down to P−ΔP, wherein the cumulative free gas production of the coalbed methane well during this period was G0f*(Rfp2−Rfp1)=7.66*(0.017957-0.017567)=0.002987 m3/t, and the average daily free gas production of the coalbed methane well was
