Abstract

A crude product composition is provided. The crude product composition contains from 0.001 wt. % to 5 wt. % residue. The crude product composition contains hydrocarbons having a boiling point in the ranges of at most 204° C., from 204° C. to 300° C., from 300° C. to 400° C., and from 400° C. to 538° C. The hydrocarbons boiling in a range of at most 204° C. comprise paraffins, where the paraffins comprise iso-paraffins and n-paraffins, and the weight ratio of iso-paraffins to n-paraffins is at most 1.4.

Claims

1. A composition comprising a crude product having, per gram of crude product:

from 0.000001 grams to 0.05 grams of residue, as determined by ASTM Method D5307;

at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution of at most 204°

C. (400°

F.) at 0.101 MPa;

at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 204°

C. and about 300°

C. at 0.101 MPa;

at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 300°

C. and about 400°

C. at 0.101 MPa;

and at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 400°

C. and about 538°

C. (1,000°

F.) at 0.101 MPa, as determined by ASTM Method D2887; and

wherein the hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution of at most 204°

C. have, per gram of hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution of at most 204°

C.;

at least 0.001 grams of paraffins, the paraffins comprising iso-paraffins and n-paraffins with a weight ratio of iso-paraffins to n-paraffins of at most 1.4, as determined by ASTM Method D6730.

2. The crude product of claim 1, wherein the crude product has at most 0.00001 grams of total Ni/V/Fe per gram of crude product, as determined by ASTM Method D5863.

3. The crude product of claim 1, wherein the hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution of at most 204°

C. have from about 0.7 to about 0.98 grams of paraffins.

4. The crude product of claim 1, wherein the hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution of at most 204°

C. have from about 0.001 to about 0.5 grams of olefins.

5. The crude product of claim 1, wherein the olefins also have at least 0.001 grams of terminal olefins per gram of olefins.

6. The crude product of claim 1, wherein the olefins comprise terminal and internal olefins, and a molar ratio of terminal olefins to internal olefins is at least 0.4.

7. The crude product of claim 1, wherein API gravity of the crude product is in a range from about 15 to about 30 at 15.5°
