Abstract (en)
The present invention provides a method of upgrading crude oil, the method at least comprising the steps of: (a) providing an olefin-containing crude oil stream; (b) adding an olefin-containing stream to the olefin-containing crude oil stream provided in step (a), thereby obtaining an olefin-enriched stream; (c) subjecting the olefin-enriched stream obtained in step (b) to an olefin metathesis reaction in the presence of one or more metathesis catalysts thereby obtaining a metathesis product, the metathesis product containing at least 20 wt.% of a fraction having a boiling point between 50-380°C at atmospheric pressure; (d) removing at least partly the fraction having a boiling point between 50-380°C from the metathesis product as obtained in step (c).
