Abstract

A hydrogen donor solvent selected from the group consisting of a full range crude oil and an atmospheric topped crude oil is used in a hydrovisbreaking process. The heavy fraction being processed is heated in the presence of hydrogen and the solvent under suitable hydrovisbreaking conditions. As a result, the amount of heavies in the feed to the hydrovisbreaking process is substantially reduced.
