1. A method of producing a crude product, comprising:
- contacting a crude feed with one or more catalysts to produce a total product that includes the crude product, wherein the crude product is a liquid mixture at 25°
C. and 0.101 MPa, the crude feed has a micro-carbon residue (MCR) content of at least 0.0001 grams per gram of crude feed, and at least one of the catalysts is a Columns 6-10 metal catalyst that has, per gram of catalyst, at least 0.3 grams of one or more metals from Columns 6-10 of the Periodic Table and/or one or more compounds of one or more metals from Columns 6-10 of the Periodic Table; and
a binder; and
controlling contacting conditions such that the crude product has a MCR content of at most 90% of the MCR content of the crude feed, wherein MCR content is as determined by ASTM Method D4530.

Abstract
Methods and systems for contacting of a crude feed with one or more catalysts to produce a total product that includes a crude product are described. At least one of the catalysts is a bulk metal catalyst. The crude product is a liquid mixture at 25° C. and 0.101 MPa. The crude product may have MCR content at most 90% of the MCR content of the crude feed. One or more other properties of the crude product may be changed by at least 10% relative to the respective properties of the crude feed.
