First Claim
1. A resid hydroprocessing catalyst for use in an ebullated bed hydroprocessing reactor consisting essentially ofa porous inorganic oxide support having a total surface area of greater than about 150 square meters per gram, a total pore volume of between 0.8 and 1.4 cc/g, a pore volume of greater than 0.4 cc/g of pores having a radius less than 125 Angstroms, and an incremental pore volume maximum at a pore radius greater than about 50 Angstroms;
- between 1 and 15 weight percent of a Group VIB metal measured as an oxide deposited on the support; and
between 0.1 and 5 weight percent of nickel measured as an oxide deposited on the support.

Abstract
A catalyst and process are disclosed for upgrading heavy feedstocks such as resid. The catalyst comprises a porous inorganic oxide support having an incremental pore volume maximum at a pore radius greater than 50 Angstroms bearing between 0.1 to 5.0 weight percent nickel and having at least 0.4 cc/g of pores having a radius less than 125 Angstroms. An ebullated bed hydroconversion process employing the catalyst also is disclosed.
