Patent number: 6540023Abstract: A process for producing a diesel fuel stock from bitumen uses steam, naphtha and a hydroisomerized diesel fraction produced by a gas conversion process, to respectively (i) stimulate the bitumen production, (ii) dilute it for pipeline transport to an upgrading facility, and (iii) increase the cetane number of a hydrotreated diesel fuel fraction produced by upgrading the bitumen by blending it with the hydroisomerized gas conversion diesel fraction, to form the diesel stock. This diesel stock has a higher cetane number than that produced from the bitumen alone, and is used for blending and forming diesel fuel.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2001Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Stephen Mark Davis, Michael Gerard Matturro

Patent number: 6531516Abstract: An integrated gas conversion and bitumen production process utilizes steam and light hydrocarbons produced from a natural gas fed gas conversion process, to stimulate the bitumen production and dilute it for transportation by pipeline. Hydrogen for hydroconversion of the bitumen and hydroisomerization of gas conversion hydrocarbons may be produced from part of the synthesis gas generated from the natural gas. The bitumen diluent is preferably naphtha produced by the gas conversion and the diluted bitumen is pipelined to a bitumen upgrading facility.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2001Date of Patent: March 11, 2003Assignee: ExxonMobil Research & Engineering Co.Inventors: Stephen Mark Davis, Michael Gerard Matturro

Patent number: 6501000Abstract: The invention is directed towards a composition comprising the formula LMX(X′)n wherein n equals 0 or 1; X and X′ are independently selected from the group consisting of halides, hydride, triflate, acetates, borates, C1 through C12 alkyl, C1 through C12 alkoxy, C3 through C12 cycloalkyl, C3 through C12 cycloalkoxy, aryl, thiolates, carbon monoxide, cyanate, olefins, and any other moiety into which a monomer can insert; M is selected from the group consisting of nickel, palladium, and platinum and L is a nitrogen-containing bidentate ligand with more than two nitrogen atoms. The composition possesses a tetrahedral or pseudo-tetrahedral structure. The invention also provides a method for using the composition in conjunction with an activating cocatalyst to form short chain &agr;-olefins.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2000Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: ExxonMobil Research and Engineering CompanyInventors: Robert Timothy Stibrany, Michael Gerard Matturro, Stephen Zushma, Abhimanyu Onkar Patil
