ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods for upgrading lube oil base stocks comprising the steps of hydrocracking such materials, preferably under relatively moderate conditions, and subsequently separating the hydrocracked materials to produce in an aromatic rich extract stream and an aromatics lean raffinate stream. The separation step is preferably achieved by solvent extraction of at least a portion of the hydrocracked material. The stream comprising the aromatic rich extract is then catalytically cracked under fluidized conditions to produce gasoline and other distillates. The aromatics lean raffinate stream is further processed by dewaxing and/or the like to produce relatively high volume metric yields of low viscosity lube oil having improved viscosity-temperature characteristics.
