Abstract

A hydrocarbon composition is provided containing a total Ni/Fe/V content of at least 200 wtppm; a residue content of at least 0.2 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition; a distillate content of at least 0.2 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition; a sulfur content of at least 0.04 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition; and a micro-carbon residue content of at least 0.06 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition; and wherein the hydrocarbon composition has a viscosity of at most 100 cSt at 37.8° C.

Claims

1. A hydrocarbon composition, comprising:

a total Ni/Fe/V content of at least 200 wtppm as determined by ASTM Method D5708;

a distillate content of at least 0.2 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition as determined by ASTM Method D5307;

a sulfur content of at least 0.04 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition as determined by ASTM Method D4294; and

a micro-carbon residue content of at least 0.06 grams per gram of hydrocarbon composition, as determined by ASTM Method D4530; and

wherein the hydrocarbon composition has a viscosity of at most 100 cSt at 37.8°

C. as determined by ASTM Method D445.

2. A transportation fuel comprising one or more distillate fractions produced from the hydrocarbon composition as claimed in claim 1.

3. A diluent produced from the hydrocarbon composition as claimed in claim 1.
