Abstract
Crude oil is reacted with a methane-containing gas in a process wherein the gas is fed to a reaction vessel to contact both the crude oil and a metallic catalyst grid that is formed from windings of a transition metal supported on an iron frame immersed in a liquid petroleum fraction, at a moderate temperature to produce a gaseous reaction product which is condensed to form an upgraded mixture of hydrocarbons with a variety of uses, including serving as an additive to crude oil for transport purposes.
