Heavy gas oil components, coking process recycle, and heavier hydrocarbons in the delayed coking process are cracked in the coking vessel by injecting a catalytic additive into the vapors above the gas/liquid-solid interface in the coke drum during the coking cycle. The additive comprises cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof to modify reaction kinetics to preferentially crack these components. The quenching effect of the additive can be effectively used to condense the highest boiling point compounds of the traditional recycle onto the catalyst(s), thereby focusing the catalyst exposure to these target reactants. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention can also provide methods to (1) reduce coke production, (2) reduce fuel gas production, and (3) increase liquids production.

1. A process comprising injecting an additive comprising catalyst(s) and carrier fluid(s) into vapors above a vapor/liquid interface in a coking vessel of a delayed coking process during a coking cycle wherein at least one component of said additive acts as a quenching agent and condenses a vapor of a highest boiling point compound of said vapors to facilitate contact with the components of said additive. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein said additive comprises at least one of seeding agent(s) and excess reactant(s). 3. A process of claim 1 wherein said contact of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel with said components of said additive causes selective conversion of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 4. A process of claim 3 wherein said selective conversion comprises cracking of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 5. A process of claim 3 wherein said conversion includes cracking highest boiling point compounds of said vapors in said coking vessel to lighter hydrocarbons that leave the coking vessel as vapors and enter a downstream fractionator where said lighter hydrocarbons are separated into process streams that are useful in oil refinery product blending. 6. A process of claim 1 wherein said carrier fluid(s) comprises liquid or gas or any combination thereof. 7. A process of claim 6 wherein said gas comprises hydrocarbon vapor. 8. A process of claim 1 wherein said carrier fluid(s) comprises gas oil(s), other hydrocarbon(s), other oil(s), inorganic liquid(s), steam, nitrogen, or any combination thereof. 9. A process of claim 8 wherein said other hydrocarbon(s) and/or said other oil(s) comprise liquid process stream(s) that is lighter than gas oil(s); and said inorganic liquid(s) comprises water. 10. A process comprising injecting an additive into vapors above a vapor/liquid interface in a coking vessel of a delayed coking process during a coking cycle to condense a vapor of a highest boiling point compound of said vapors to facilitate contact with components of said additive; wherein said additive comprises cracking catalyst(s) and quenching agent(s), alone or in combination with seeding agent(s), excess reactant(s), carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof; andwherein said contact of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel with said cracking catalyst(s), alone or in combination with said seeding agent(s), said excess reactant(s), said carrier fluid(s), or any combination thereof of said additive creates selective conversion of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 11. A process of claim 10 wherein said selective conversion comprises catalytic cracking, catalytic coking, thermal cracking, thermal coking, or any combination thereof. 12. A process of claim 10 wherein said additive is added to said coking process by pressurized injection. 13. A process of claim 10 wherein said components of said additive are combined by mixing that provides a sufficient level of blending said components prior to said injecting to said coking vessel of said coking process. 14. A process of claim 10 wherein a temperature of said additive is regulated by temperature control that provides a predetermined temperature level of said additive prior to said injecting to said coking vessel of said coking process. 15. A process of claim 10 wherein said catalyst lowers an energy required for cracking reactions, coking reactions, or any combination thereof. 16. A process of claim 10 wherein said catalyst provides propagation of carbon based free radicals that facilitate cracking and coking reactions. 17. A process of claim 10 wherein said catalyst comprises alumina, silica, zeolite, calcium, activated carbon, crushed pet coke, or any combination thereof. 18. A process of claim 10 wherein said catalyst comprises new catalyst, FCCU equilibrium catalyst, spent catalyst, regenerated catalyst, pulverized catalyst, classified catalyst, impregnated catalysts, treated catalysts, or any combination thereof. 19. A process of claim 10, wherein said catalyst has particle size characteristics to prevent entrainment in said vapors, to achieve fluidization in the coking vessel and increase residence time in said vapors, assure settling of said catalyst below said vapor/liquid interface with continuing reactivity, or any combination thereof. 20. A process of claim 10 wherein said excess reactant comprises gas oil, FCCU slurry oil, FCCU cycle oil, extract from an aromatic extraction unit, coker feed, bitumen, other aromatic oil, coke, activated carbon, coal, carbon black, or any combination thereof. 21. A process of claim 10 wherein said conversion of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel is used to reduce recycle in a coking process, reduce heavy components in coker gas oils, or any combination thereof. 22. A process of claim 10 wherein said selective conversion comprises cracking of said highest boiling point compound of said vapors in said coking vessel. 23. A process of claim 10 wherein said selective conversion includes cracking of highest boiling point compounds of said vapors in said coking vessel to lighter hydrocarbons that leave the coking vessel as vapors and enter a downstream fractionator where said lighter hydrocarbons are separated into process streams that are useful in oil refinery product blending. 24. A process of claim 23 wherein said lighter hydrocarbon streams comprise naphtha, gas oil, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel, diesel fuel, heating oil, or any combination thereof. 25. A process of claim 10 wherein said carrier fluid(s) comprises liquid or gas or any combination thereof. 26. A process of claim 25 wherein said gas comprises hydrocarbon vapor. 27. A process of claim 10 wherein said carrier fluid(s) comprises gas oil(s), other hydrocarbon(s), other oil(s), inorganic liquid(s), steam, nitrogen, or any combination thereof. 28. A process of claim 27 wherein said other hydrocarbon(s) and/or said other oil(s) comprise liquid process stream(s) that is lighter than gas oil(s); and said inorganic liquid(s) comprises water.
