Abstract: Disclosed herein are oligomerization processes using feedstocks containing propylene to produce an oligomer product, and methods for recovering a propylene oligomer from the oligomer product. The resultant propylene oligomer can be characterized by a Mn in a range from 250 to 10,000 g/mol, a viscosity index of at least 85, and a pour point in a range from ?5 to ?60° C.
