ABSTRACT:
In producing shale oil from a relatively permeable leached zone within a subterranean oil shale deposit, hot aqueous fluid is flowed between wells along paths which are vertically varied. An initial flow between near-bottom injection and production locations within the leached zone is varied by steps inclusive of producing fluid from a near-top location and injecting fluid into the initial production location.
