Abstract

An oil shale formation may be treated using an in situ thermal process. Heat may be provided to a formation from a heat source (8692)in the formation. Hydrocarbons within the formation may be pyrolyzed. Hydrocarbons, hydrogen and/or other formation fluids may be produced from the formation. In some embodiments, the formation may include a relatively impermeable portion (8691) and/or a relatively permeable portion (8690).
