The dynamic process of water depletion plays a critical role in both surface coalbed methane (CBM) development and underground gas extraction, reshaping water–rock interactions and inducing complex permeability responses. Addressing the limited understanding of the coupling mechanism between heterogeneous pore water evolution and permeability during dynamic processes, this study simulates reservoir transitions across four zones (prospective planning, production preparation, active production, and mining-affected zones) via centrifugal experiments. The results reveal a pronounced scale dependence in pore water distribution. During low-pressure stages (0–0.54 MPa), rapid drainage from fractures and seepage pores leads to a ~12% reduction in total water content. In contrast, high-pressure stages (0.54–3.83 MPa) promote water retention in adsorption pores, with their relative contribution rising to 95.8%, forming a dual-structure of macropore drainage and micropore retention. Multifractal analysis indicates a dual-mode evolution of movable pore space. Under low centrifugal pressure, D−10 and Δα decrease by approximately 34% and 36%, respectively, reflecting improved connectivity within large-pore networks. At high centrifugal pressure, an ~8% increase in D0−D2 suggests that pore-scale heterogeneity in adsorption pores inhibits further seepage. A quantitative coupling model establishes a quadratic relationship between fractal parameters and permeability, illustrating that permeability enhancement results from the combined effects of pore volume expansion and structural homogenization. As water saturation decreases from 1.0 to 0.64, permeability increases by more than 3.5 times. These findings offer theoretical insights into optimizing seepage pathways and improving gas recovery efficiency in dynamically evolving reservoirs.
