Patent ·
OSTI ID:6817659
A process is claimed for the production of lubricating oils from petroleum stocks containing significant quantities of sulfur and lubricating oil components boiling above about 650/sup 0/F (343/sup 0/C) by subjecting such stocks to a series of steps comprising hydrodesulfurization, fractionation, and solvent extraction. The residual fraction obtained from the fractionation step may be deasphalted prior to solvent extraction.
