Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for in-situ extraction of oil from oil shale. The method comprises drilling a fluid conduit in fluid communication with a top and a bottom of a target zone within an oil shale formation. The method includes stimulating the target zone. The method further includes injecting a heated fluid into the bottom of the target zone such that the heated fluid entrains the kerogen within the target zone into the injected fluid to generate a production fluid. The method concludes with producing the production fluid, containing the in-situ kerogen, from the top of the target zone to the surface.
