and Summary n‐Fatty acids in the range of C 2 to C 10 were found in retort water from a simulated in situ retorting process of Green River oil shale. The distribution of these fatty acids shows no preference between molecules of odd and even numbers of carbon atoms. A comparison with retort water from an aboveground retorting proces suggests that differences in the distribution of these acids depend largely on the technique and operating conditions employed in the retorting process.
