Claim 5:
6. The process as in claim 1, wherein the third naphtha source is one or more of naphtha-range hydrocarbons for reforming, wherein treatment is hydrocracking, and wherein the hydrocracking of vacuum gas oil occurs in the presence of a VGO hydrocracking catalyst selected from catalyst that have one or more active metal component of metals or metal compounds (oxides or sulfides) selected from the Periodic Table of the Elements IUPAC Groups 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, and at conditions including a reactor temperature (° C.) in the range of from about 300-450, a hydrogen partial pressure (bar) in the range of from about 60-150, a hydrogen gas feed rate (SLt/Lt) of up to about 800-2500, and a liquid hourly space velocity (h−1), on a fresh feed basis relative to the distillate hydrocracking catalysts, in the range of from about 0.1-10, the catalyst and conditions being effective to produce a vacuum gas oil hydrocracking reactor liquid effluent comprising at least about 10-80 wt % of naphtha-range hydrocarbons.
