A sequential process for upgrading hydrocarbon stocks selected from the group consisting of shale oil, catalytically dewaxed product, coker liquids, pyrolysis gasoline, FCC light cycle oil or other olefinic feedstock which comprises contacting said feedstock initially in a reaction zone in the presence of a hydroformylation catalyst under hydroformylation reaction conditions with synthesis gas having a ratio of carbon monoxide to hydrogen of about 1:1 for a time sufficient for the conversion of the olefinic compounds contained therein into branched alkanols, thereafter passing the effluent from said hydroformylation zone to a reaction zone containing a suitable hydrotreating/reduction catalyst under hydrotreating/reduction reaction conditions converting said effluent into saturates and recovering directly a branched hydrocarbon product having lower pour point, higher V.I. and improved thermal stability.
