Abstract
A hydrocarbon containing formation may be treated using an in situ thermal process. Hydrocarbons, H.sub.2, and/or other formation fluids may be produced from the formation. Heat may be applied to the formation from heat sources to raise a temperature of a portion of the formation to a desired temperature. Some of the heat sources may include conduits disposed in openings in the formation. The conduits may provide an oxidizing fluid to a reaction zone in the formation. The oxidizing fluid may oxidize hydrocarbons within the reaction zone to generate heat. Generated heat may conductively transfer to the portion
