PROCESS OF CONVERTING HIGH-BOILING CRUDE OILS TO EQUIVALENT PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

摘要

A process for converting high-boiling crude oil having a high content of non-distillable residue which crude oil contains metals and asphaltenes by donor solvent hydrovisbreaking is disclosed wherein the process is carried out near the carbonization temperature limit in the presence of a hydrogen donor. The hydrogen donor can be one derived from the crude itself, from a similar crude oil, or from the distillate product of said donor solvent hydrovisbreaking.
