Claim:
1. A method for producing a diesel fuel and a lubricant basestock, comprising: contacting a feedstock having a T95 boiling point of 1100° F. (593° C.) or less and comprising at least 100 wppm of sulfur with a dewaxing catalyst under effective conversion conditions, prior to exposing the feedstock to a hydrotreating catalyst, to produce a converted effluent, the effective conversion conditions being effective for at least 25% conversion of the feedstock relative to a conversion temperature of 370° C., the dewaxing catalyst comprising a unidimensional, 10-member ring pore molecular sieve, at least one Group VI metal, at least one Group VIII metal, and a binder having a binder surface area of 100 m contacting at least a portion of the converted effluent with a supported hydrotreating catalyst under effective hydrotreating conditions to produce a product effluent, the hydrotreating catalyst comprising at least one Group VI metal and at least one Group VIII metal; and fractionating the converted, hydrotreated effluent to form at least a distillate fuel product fraction and a lubricant base oil product fraction, wherein the distillate fuel product fraction comprises a diesel product fraction with a sulfur content of less than or equal to 12.4 ppmw.
