Please be more specific. Also, what research have you done so far? People here are happy to help, but they won't do your homework for you. Are you just looking for some good books on the subject?

I'm specifically looking for the normal optimum conditions for the operation (temperature, time and pressure)

As an aside to your project I'd suggest you get in touch with Shell who were doing some research into in situ thermal recovery of heavy shale oils. This was part of the SURE (Shell Unconventional Resources Energy) Project and I'm sure (haha) the results of the initial trials were published.

Start here http://www.oilcrisis.com/LaHerrere/OilShaleReview200509.pdf and dig deeper.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile looking the subject matter up in"Petroleum Refinery Engineering" by Nelson (McGraw-Hill Book Company).
