Abstract: A process (10) for oligomerising a hydrocarbon to form at least one co-monomer product (22) includes feeding a hydrocarbon reactant and organic liquid diluent solvent (32) into an oligomerisation reactor (12). The organic liquid diluent solvent has a normal boiling point below the normal boiling point of 1-hexene but above ?20° C., or the organic diluent solvent is in the form of a solvent admixture with at least 70% by mass of the solvent admixture constituting organic diluent solvents having a normal boiling point below the normal boiling point of 1-hexene but above ?20° C. The oligomerisation reactor (12) holds at least one co-monomer product formed in the oligomerisation reactor admixed with a catalyst system (25) introduced into the oligomerisation reactor (12). The catalyst system (25) includes a catalyst dissolved in at least one catalyst solvent.

Abstract: This invention relates to the oligomerisation of olefinic compounds in the presence of an oligomerisation catalyst activated in two stages by two catalyst activators According to the invention there is provided a process for activating an oligomerisation catalyst by contacting the catalyst with i) a first activator component selected from the group consisting of the aluminoxanes and a mixture of at least one aluminoxane and at least one organylaluminium compound, and ii) a second activator component which is an organylaluminium compound, the process being characterised therein that the oligomerisation catalyst is first contacted with one of the first activator component or second activator component, and the resulting mixture is thereafter contacted with the other of the first activator component or second activator component.
