The present disclosure provides base stocks and processes for producing such basestocks by polymerizing internal olefins. The present disclosure further provides base stocks, comprising low molecular weight polyolefin products, having one or more of improved flow, low temperature properties, and thickening efficiency. The present disclosure further provides polyolefin products useful as base stocks and or diesel fuel. In at least one embodiment, a process includes introducing a feedstream comprising C.sub.4-C.sub.30 internal-olefins with a catalyst system comprising a nickel diimine catalyst optionally in the presence of a solvent. The method includes obtaining a C.sub.6-C.sub.100 polyolefin product having one or more of a carbon fraction of epsilon-carbons of from about 0.08 to about 0.3, as determined by .sup.13C NMR spectroscopy, based on the total carbon content of the polyolefin product.

This disclosure describes polymerization processes and processes for quenching polymerization reactions using reactive particulates, such as high molecular weight functionalized olefin copolymers, as quenching agents, typically in solution or bulk polymerization processes.

The invention relates to a gas phase polymerisation process for the production of ethylene polymers in the presence of a catalyst composition based on a chromium compound, a titanium compound and a silica support material. The silica support material has a surface area (SA) between 685 m.sup.2/g and 800 m.sup.2/g, a pore volume (PV) between 1.65 and 1.85 cm.sup.3/g and an average particle size in the range between 25 and 35 micrometres. The catalyst composition is injected by a dry catalyst feeder into the polymerization reactor.
