What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating a relatively permeable formation in situ, comprising: providing heat from one or more heaters to at least a portion of the relatively permeable formation; allowing the heat to transfer directly from the one or more heaters to a part of the formation such that the heat pyrolyzes at least some hydrocarbons within the part of the formation; producing a first mixture from a first portion of the formation; producing a second mixture from a second portion of the formation; and producing the first mixture or the second mixture when a partial pressure of hydrogen in the formation is at least about 0.5 bars. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising producing a third mixture from a third portion of the formation. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising producing a third mixture from a third portion of the part of the formation, wherein the first portion is substantially above the second portion, wherein the second portion is substantially above the third portion, and wherein the first mixture is produced, then the second mixture, and then the third mixture. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first portion is substantially above the second portion. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first portion is substantially below the second portion. 6.
