Abstract

The present invention provides a process for low pressure catalytic hydrocracking of refractory hydrocarbon charge stocks, such as coker gas oil or shale oil to products of reduced pour points by catalytic hydrotreating and cascading the hydrotreater effluent through a hydrocracking zone, containing a catalyst which is characterized by an alkali metal substantilly non-acidic crystalline zeolite having an alpha activity of less than about 10, a silica/alumina ratio of at least about 12 and a constraint index of approximately 1 to 12.
