A process is described for the conversion of synthesis gas to a product containing liquid hydrocarbons with an activated, supported catalyst prepared by a process comprising: (A) depositing cobalt or nickel precursor on a refractory metal oxide support by impregnation or precipitation to distribute cobalt or nickel as crystallites on the support to form a supported catalyst, and (B) activating the supported catalyst by subjecting the supported catalyst to the steps, in sequence, of (i) reduction in hydrogen gas, (ii) oxidation in an oxygen-containing gas and (iii) reduction in hydrogen gas, steps (i), (ii) and (iii) being conducted at a temperature of from about 100/sup 0/C to about 450/sup 0/C to form an, activated, supported catalyst more active for conversion of synthesis gas after the stap (iii) than after the step (i), and contacting synthesis gas comprising hydrogen and carbon monoxide under synthesis gas conversion conditions with the, activated catalyst to form a product containing liquid hydrocarbons.
