Abstract The deep coalbed methane (CBM) resources are widely developed in the Linxing Block. However, the evaluation of CBM geological areas suitable for CBM exploitation remains unexplored, hindering further development. This research optimizes the key geological parameters that influence the development of deep CBM from the perspectives of resource and development conditions. The evaluation system for deep CBM recoverability has been established, and the multi-fuzzy evaluation method has been used to perform the quantitative evaluation of recoverability. The results indicate that the resource conditions of No.8 + 9 coal seam are superior to those of No.4 + 5 coal seam. Favorable resource conditions are predominantly concentrated in the northeast and specific southern portions of the research area. Favorable development conditions for both coal seams are mostly concentrated in the northeastern area. Based on the classification standard of recoverable favorable areas, the Level II area is crucial for the development of No.4 + 5 coal seam. This area is primarily distributed in the northeast of the research area., Both Level I and Level II areas for the No. 8 + 9 coal seam are situated in the northeast. The Level III area is earmarked for deep CBM production and shows potential for exploration. Further analysis reveals that the resource conditions in the favorable area are generally superior to the development conditions. These areas are classified as Class A, including categories such as I-A, II-A, and III-A, indicating relatively complex reservoir transformation.
