A METHOD FOR PREPARING A CHARGE OIL FOR CATALYTIC CRACKING, WHICH INLUDES THE STEPS OF: HEATING AN ATMOSPHERIC REDUCED CRUDE AND INTRODUCING IT INTO A VACUUM FLASH TOWER AT A TEMPERATURE SUFFICEINTLY HIGH TO MAINTAIN A FLASH TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 200* F. BELOW THAT AT WHICH SUBSTANTIAL THERMAL DECOMPOSITION BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE; WITHDRAWING A VACUUM DISTILLATE FROM SAID TOWER; WITHDRAWING FROM SAID TOWER A VACUUM BOTTOMS COMPRISED OF AT LEAST 25% OF THE OIL PRESENT IN SAID REDUCED CRUDE AND SUITABLE FOR CATALYTIC CRACKING; COOLING SAID VACUUM BOTTOMS, INTRODUCING SAID COOLED VACUUM BOTTOMS INTO A FRACTIONATION ZONE AND COUNTERCURRENTLY CONTACTING SAID COOLED VACUUM BOTTOMS THEREIN WITH NORMALLY GASEOUS HYDROCARBON SOLVENT AT TEMPERATURES WITHIN 100*F. OF THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE OF SAID SOLVENT TO FRACTIONATE SAID VACUUM BOTTOMS INTO AN ASPHALTIC RAFFINATE AND A DECARBONIZED OIL EXTRACT HAVING A CONRADSON CARBON RESIDUE SUBSTANTIALLY LOWER THAN SAID VACUUM BOTTOMS; AND EMPLOYING THE MAJOR PARTS OF SAID VACUUM DISTILLATE AND SAID DECARBONIZED OIL IN FORMING A CATALYTIC CRACKING FEED.
