Activities are reported in a program to determine the feasibility and to estimate the economics of hydroprocessing synthetic crude feedstocks to distillate fuels using presented available technology. The first feedstock is Paraho crude shale oil, produced in the indirectly heated mode. The second feedstock is solvent refined coal (SRC). Pilot plant operation is reported in shale oil hydrofining, coker distillate hydrofining, and hydrocracking hydrofined shale. In SRC processing, the first pilot plant hydrofining run is reported.
