Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to synthetic hydrocarbons produced by skeletal isomerization, and the isomerization process. The products are especially useful as the continuous phase of a drilling fluid, for example when prepared from C14 to C18 linear alpha-olefins via isomerization or hydroisomerization, and as lube oils. The present invention also relates to a process for producing synthetic hydrocarbons by skeletally isomerizing C12+ olefins over a catalyst comprising an intermediate pore size molecular sieve, with or without Group VIII metals under skeletal isomerization conditions which result in little, preferably in substantially no, olefin cracking or oligomerization.
