The invention relates to a water production gas well full-life-circle drainage gas recovery method and system. The system comprises drainage gas recovery equipment, a gas-water shunting device, dryingequipment, a gas power generator and a compressor. A first branch of an outlet pipeline of the drainage gas recovery equipment is connected to an outer conveying pipe network. A second branch is connected with the gas-water shunting device. Gas flowing out of the top of the gas-water shunting device passes through an adjusting valve and is dried through the drying equipment, then the gas is divided into two branches, one branch flows into the gas power generator through a flow adjuster, the other branch flows into the compressor, and the gas power generator provides electric energy for the compressor by burning natural gas. The natural gas is pressurized through the compressor, multiple stages of pressure adjusters are started by the natural gas, shaft accumulated liquid is removed section by section, and continuous production of a gas well is guaranteed. The method and system can be suitable for water production gas well full-life-circle drainage gas recovery, one-time construction is effective for a long time, the gas lift starting pressure is low, the energy consumption is low, external electric energy does not need to be used, and the method and system are safe, reliable, capable of being reused, easy to manage and low in maintenance cost.
