This patent describes a method for hydroprocessing a hydrocarbon oil. The method comprises contacting a hydrocarbon oil containing asphaltenes under hydroprocessing conditions with a particulate catalyst to convert at least a portion of the asphaltenes in the hydrocarbon oil so as to produce a product oil of reduced asphaltene content, the particulate catalyst comprising at least one active hydrogenation metal component on a support material comprising a zeolite or molecular sieve containing at least one non-hydrolyzable halogen component.
