The rich oil shale deposits in Colorado's Piceance Creek basin are being considered for early commercialization by vertical modified in situ retorting. In this process, large underground chambers of oil shale, several hundred feet in cross section and up to 700 feet high, are pyrolyzed in place. This type of processing may result in environmental problems, including the disruption of groundwater aquifers, leaching of retorted shale, and subsidence described by Persoff and Fox.
