Patent ID: 7828958

Claim:
A crude product comprising, per gram of crude product: at most 0.05 grams of residue; at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution of at most 204° C. (400° F.) at 0.101 MPa, at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 204° C. and about 300° C. at 0.101 MPa, at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 300° C. and about 400° C. at 0.101 MPa, and at least 0.001 grams of hydrocarbons with a boiling range distribution between about 400° C. and about 538° C. at 0.101 MPa, wherein hydrocarbons having a boiling range distribution between about 30° C. and about 538° C. comprise iso-paraffins and n-paraffins with a weight ratio of iso-paraffins to n-paraffins of at most 1.4; and greater than 0 grams, but less than 0.01 grams of one or more catalysts including one or more transition metal sulfides, wherein the catalyst(s) contain at most 1 gram of a support material per 100 grams of catalyst, wherein the support material, if present in the catalyst(s), is selected from the group consisting of refractory oxides, zeolites, and porous carbon materials.
