Disclosed is a catalyst essentially free of platinum, comprising from about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent rhenium and about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent gallium supported on a solid inorganic refractory oxide. A hydrocarbon conversion process, such as catalytic reforming, is also disclosed wherein the process contacts the above described catalyst with a hydrocarbon stream boiling in the range of about 70.degree. F. to about 500.degree. F. and hydrogen. A two-step process is also disclosed wherein a platinum catalyst is first contacted with a hydrocarbon stream to achieve a partial conversion followed by contacting the above described catalyst to achieve further conversion.
