This paper deals with the information concerning Fushun Oil Shale Retorting Factory which is the only working shale oil plant in China nowadays. Sixty Fushun-type retorts (gas generators) were built in 1992 and they are operating successfully for producing shale oil from Fushun oil shale with the Fischer assay about 7-8 %. The factory has made profits due to the low cost of oil shale as the by-product of open-pit mining of coal.
