1. A process unit, comprising:
a) an oligomerization reactor; and b) a control system configured to control a molar ratio of an olefin to a HCl to enable operating the oligomerization reactor;
i) in a distillate mode wherein greater than 50 wt % of a C5+ product stream boils at 700° F. (371 degree Celsius) or below, andii) in a lubricant mode wherein greater than 50 wt % of the C5+ product stream boils above 700° F. (371 degree Celsius); and wherein the oligomerization reactor can switch back and forth from operating in the distillate mode to the lubricant mode by controlling the molar ratio.
