This patent describes a catalytic refining process in which a hydrocarbon oil is upgraded by contact with a particulate catalyst under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of hydrogen. The catalyst, is made of a composition prepared by the method consisting of: (1) impregnating support particles with an aqueous impregnating solution comprising one or more dissolved Group VIB metal components and citric acid, in which the solution has a pH less than 1.0; and (2) calcining the impregnated support particles.
