Abstract

Process for the preparation of low pour point lubricating oils comprising: PA1 I. vacuum distilling a heavy naphthenic crude oil feedstock containing from about 2 to 10 weight % of sulfur based on the weight of the feedstock, said feedstock exhibiting a specific gravity ranging from about 5.degree. to 20.degree. API to obtain at least one distillate cut exhibiting a boiling range of from about 500.degree. to 1000.degree. F and a specific gravity ranging from about 10.degree. to 25.degree. API PA1 ii. hydrocracking said distillate cut in at least one hydrocracking zone in contact with a hydrocracking catalyst at a temperature from about 650.degree. to 850.degree. F, a hydrogen partial pressure of about 500 to 5000 psig. and a space velocity of from about 0.1 to 2.0 V/V/Hr; PA1 Iii. removing the low boiling light ends from the hydrocrackate; and PA1 Iv. recovering a low pour point lubricating oil.
