The influence of the depressurization rate on coalbed methane desorption and percolation was studied using physical experiment and numerical simulation. First, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology provided a new approach to conduct desorption experiments with different depressurization schemes and obtain the compressibility ( C  f ) of coal samples. Then, the productivity calculation of different depressurization schemes was carried out via numerical simulation. The results showed that the first-slow-then-fast (FSTF) depressurization scheme had the highest desorption efficiency (94%), followed by one-stop desorption (85%), first-fast-then-slow desorption (79%), and uniform depressurization desorption (61%). T  2 cutoff values and the corresponding compressibility were obtained by the saturation-centrifugation method and spectral morphology method, and a high-precision permeability expression for dynamic evaluation of numerical simulation was established by the historical production data fitting approach. Through numerical simulation, high production efficiency can be achieved using depressurization rates of medium (15 kPa/d) and FSTF schemes (8 &amp; 50 kPa/d), and depressurization funnel expansion in the single-phase water flow stage plays a decisive role in stable and high-yield production in the later stage. Thus, the FSTF pressure reduction strategy could be advocated to promote gas production. Slow depressurization should be applied in ineffective desorption and the slow desorption stage for saturated coal seam or single-phase flow stage for undersaturated coal seam, given the higher single-phase water permeability. During the rapid and sensitive desorption stage, rapid depressurization is recommended because of large desorption capacity and low water phase permeability. This paper provides a possibility for the optimization of coalbed methane field production management.
