Disclosed is a method for extracting shale oil and gas by fracturing, and chemical retorting in oil shale in-situ horizontal well and a process for implementing the method. In the method and process, an inclined well is drilled from the ground to the upper part of an underground oil shale stratum, and a horizontal well is drilled in parallel to the oil shale stratum in the upper part of the oil shale stratum. Behind the horizontal well and the inclined well in the upper part, an inclined well leading to the lower part of the oil shale stratum is drilled, and a horizontal well is drilled in parallel to the lower part of the oil shale stratum. Highly pressurized media are injected into the horizontal well in the upper part of the oil shale stratum.
