An improved method is disclosed for converting synthesis gas to hydrocarbon mixtures wherein the syngas is contacted with a special catalyst comprising a crystalline zeolite having a silica-to-alumina ratio of greater than 200 (including zeolites containing essentially no alumina) and an (R2O+ M2/nO): SiO2 ratio of less than 1.1:1 where M is a metal other than a metal of Group IIIA, n is the valence of said metal, and R is an alkyl ammonium radical, said organosilicate being characterized by a specified x-ray diffraction pattern. In a specific embodiment of this invention, synthesis gas is contacted with a catalyst comprising an intimate mixture of said crystalline zeolite catalyst and iron-containing, Fischer-Tropsch catalyst to produce a liquid hydrocarbon product having a boiling range of less than 400 DEG F. at a 90 percent overhead and being a predominantly olefinic product, wherein the structure of the olefins is substantially branched chain with internally-positioned double bonds.
