A process for the production of high yields of high quality products from heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstock comprising a two-stage, close-coupled process, wherein the first stage comprises a thermal-catalytic zone into which is introduced a mixture comprising the feedstock, coal, dispersed catalyst,
A process for the production of high yields of high quality products from heavy hydrocarbonaceous feedstock comprising a two-stage, close-coupled process, wherein the first stage comprises a thermal-catalytic zone into which is introduced a mixture comprising the feedstock, coal, dispersed catalyst, and hydrogen; and the second, close-coupled stage comprises a catalytic-hydrotreating zone into which substantially all the effluent from the first stage is directly passed and processed under hydrotreating conditions.

1. A process for conversion of heavy oils to produce lower boiling hydrocarbon products comprising: a) dispersing finely divided coal and catalyst in a heavy oil feedstock to obtain a dispersed mixture, wherein the amount of coal relative to the feedstock is from about 3 to 10 percent by weight and the amount of dispersed catalyst relative to the feedstock is from about 0.1 to 5 percent by weight,b) heating and passing the dispersed mixture together with hydrogen to a first reaction zone comprising one or more thermo-catalytic reactors,c) converting a portion of the coal into coal liquids in the first reaction zone,d) mixing heavy oils in the heavy oil feedstock, the coal liquids, and the dispersed catalyst in the first reaction zone to convert the heavy oils to an effluent comprising hydrocarbons boiling below 1000.degree. F.,e) passing at least a portion of the effluent comprising hydrocarbons boiling below 1000.degree. F. reduced in temperature to a second reaction zone comprising one or more catalytic-hydrotreating reactors and having a supported hydrotreating catalyst, andf) recovering a product of the second reaction zone, wherein the first and second reaction zones are close-coupled and operated at elevated temperature and pressure. 2. The process of claim 1 wherein substantially all effluent from the first reaction zone is passed into the second reaction zone. 3. The process of claim 1 wherein some gaseous product is removed from the effluent of the first reaction zone before passing the effluent to the second reaction zone. 4. The process of claim 1 wherein the dispersed catalyst is oxides or sulfides of metals selected from the group consisting of Group V1b, V11b and V111b metals. 5. The process of claim 1 wherein the dispersed catalyst is either a synthetic catalyst or a naturally occurring material. 6. The process of claim 5 wherein the dispersed catalyst is limonite, a naturally occurring iron oxide/hydroxide mineral. 7. The process of claim 1 wherein the temperature of said first reaction zone is maintained within a range of between 750.degree. F. and 900.degree. F. 8. The process of claim 1 wherein the temperature of said first reaction zone is maintained within a range of between 800.degree. F. and 875.degree. F. 9. The process of claim 1 wherein the product from the second reaction zone is separated into gaseous, liquid and liquid/solid bottom fractions and wherein a portion of the liquid fraction, the liquid/solid bottom fraction, or both is recycled back to a feed system. 10. The process of claim 1 wherein the product from the second reaction zone is separated into gaseous and liquid/solid bottom fractions and wherein a portion of a gaseous fraction containing hydrogen is recycled to the second reaction zone. 11. The process of claim 1 wherein the product from the second reaction zone is separated into gaseous and liquid/solid bottom fractions and wherein a portion of a gaseous fraction containing hydrogen is recycled to the first reaction zone. 12. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the temperature of the second reaction zone is between 600.degree. F. and 800.degree. F. 13. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the percentage of heavy oils in the feedstock converted to hydrocarbons boiling below 1000.degree. F. is at least 50 percent. 14. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the percentage of heavy oils in the feedstock converted to hydrocarbons boiling below 1000.degree. F. is at least 75 percent. 15. The process of claim 1 wherein said heavy oil feedstock is selected from the group consisting of crude petroleum, topped crude petroleum, reduced crudes, petroleum residua from atmospheric or vacuum distillations, solvent deasphalted tars and oils, and heavy hydrocarbonaceous liquids derived from coal, bitumen, or coal tar pitches. 16. The process of claim 1 wherein said heavy oil feedstock is co-processed with oil selected from the group consisting of VGO, Coker Gas Oil, FCC Cycle Oil, and mixtures thereof. 17. The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of catalyst relative to the feedstock is from about 0.5 to 1 percent by weight. 18. The process of claim 1 wherein the residence time of the dispersed mixture in the first reaction zone is from about 0.5 to 3 hours. 19. The process of claim 1 wherein the residence time of effluent in the second reaction zone is from about 0.3 to 4 hours. 20. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the supported hydrotreating catalyst in said second reaction zone is maintained in a fixed, ebullated or moving bed within the reaction zone. 21. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the process is maintained at a hydrogen partial pressure from about 35 atmospheres to 300 atmospheres. 22. The process as claimed in claim 1, further comprising converting a portion of the coal into coal ash in the first reaction zone. 23. The process as claimed in claim 22 further comprising substantially removing metal contaminants in the feedstock in the first reaction zone by sequestering the metal contaminants with the coal ash.
