ABSTRACT:
An in situ retort and process are provided for underground retorting of oil shale. The in situ retort is formed with at least one flame front-stabilizing layer of minute lean oil shale particles which serves as a redistribution region or grid. When the flame front is ignited and passed through the retort with a feed gas, the flame front-stabilizing layer will stabilize and enhance horizontal uniformity of the flame front to substantially minimize burning of the product shale oil.
