1. A system for producing a crude product, comprising:
- an upstream contacting zone;
one or more catalysts in the upstream contacting zone, the one or more catalysts comprising a first catalyst, the first catalyst having, per gram of first catalyst, 0.0001 grams to 0.06 grams of;
one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, one or more compounds of one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, calculated as weight of metal, or mixtures thereof;
a downstream contacting zone positioned downstream of the upstream contacting zone; and
one or more catalysts in the downstream contacting zone, the one or more catalysts comprising a second catalyst, the second catalyst having, per gram of second catalyst, at least 0.02 grams of;
one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, one or more compounds of one or more metals from Column 6 of the Periodic Table, calculated as weight of metal, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract
Methods and systems for contacting a crude feed that has a total acid number (TAN) of at least 0.3 with one or more catalysts produces a total product that includes a crude product are described. The one or more catalysts may include a first catalyst and a second catalyst. The crude product is a liquid mixture at 25° C. and 0.101 MPa and the crude product has a TAN of at most 90% of the TAN 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.
