A review covers (1) externally heated retorts (Fischer assay and Pumpherston retort), (2) retorts heated by combustion within the bed of oil shale (NTU retort, Union retort A, Gas Combustion retort, Paraho retort), (3) retorts heated by externally heated gases (Royster retort, Union retort B, Paraho indirect mode retort), (4) retorts heated by circulating hot solids (Tosco II, Lurgi); properties of shale oil produced by each type of retort; and questions to be asked in selecting an oil shale process. 30 references.
