Abstract
This process for converting a charge of heavy oils or petroleum residues to gaseous and distillable hydrocarbons comprises the steps of (a) admixing said charge with a first hydrogenated recycle oil obtained in a subsequent step of the process, heating the mixture to 350.degree.-450.degree. C., admixing it with a reducing gas at a temperature of at least 800.degree. C. and maintaining a temperature of 530.degree.-850.degree. C. and a pressure of at least 20 bars for 0.1 to 60 seconds (b) admixing the resultant product with a second hydrogenated recycle oil whose temperature is lower than 300.degree. C., thereby decreasing the temperature of the resultant mixture to less than 450.degree. C., then contacting it with a steam-hydrogen stream, thereby vaporizing at least 80% of the liquid to a gaseous phase (c) treating the unvaporized remaining fraction with oxygen and steam to form a reducing gas at a temperature of at least 800.degree. C., used at least partly in step (a), (d) hydrogenating the gaseous phase from step (b) and recovering therefrom a light fraction distilling below 250.degree. C., recycling at least partly the remaining gaseous phase to step (b) after removal of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 S therefrom and (e) recycling the remaining hydrogenated heavy oil fraction, distilling above 250.degree. C., to steps (a) and (b).
