A method of reducing settling of residual comminuted hydrocarbonaceous material during processing (10) can comprise forming a constructed permeability control infrastructure (12) which defines a substantially encapsulated volume. The method can also include introducing a composite comminuted hydrocarbonaceous material into the control infrastructure to form a permeable body (14), where the composite hydrocarbonaceous material includes a comminuted hydrocarbonaceous material and a structural material. The method can further include heating the permeable body sufficient to remove hydrocarbons therefrom (16). The hydrocarbonaceous material is substantially stationary during heating, exclusive of subsidence and settling. The structural material can provide structural integrity to the permeable body sufficient to maintain convective flow of fluids throughout the permeable body during heating. |
