ABSTRACT:
A method of synthesizing hydrocarbons from a methane source which includes the steps of separating a mixture of lower alkanes to form a first fraction containing predominately methane and at least one second fraction containing predominately C.sub.2 + alkanes; dehydrogenating the second C.sub.2 + fraction to form an effluent comprising C.sub.2 + olefins; contacting the methane fraction with an oxide of a metal which oxide when contacted with methane at between about 500.degree. and 1000.degree. C. is reduced and produces higher hydrocarbon products and water; and oligomerizing the C.sub.2 + olefin fraction and the methane contacting effluent to produce higher hydrocarbon products.
