ABSTRACT:
An in situ oil shale retort in which a cavity filled with broken particles of oil shale is formed within the subsurface oil shale formation and air is forced down through the cavity to sustain combustion of the top layer of oil shale particles. The products of combustion are withdrawn through a plurality of transverse exhaust pipes at the bottom of the cavity, the exhaust pipes each being provided with a series of holes along the length of the pipes within the cavity, the holes being graded in size to compensate for the pressure drop along the length of the pipe so as to provide substantially equal volume of gas flow through each of the openings.
