Production of base oil components from organic material

A base oil hydrocarbon composition obtained from a feedstock comprising renewable material, wherein the composition comprises:

• a total paraffin content of from 50 wt. % to 65 wt. %, of which at least 90% are isomerised paraffins;
• a naphthenes content of from 25 wt. % to 35 wt. %;
• aromatics in an amount of 4 wt. % to 16 wt. % based on a total weight of the composition;
• and
• wherein the composition has a pour point of −26° C. to −32° C. and a kinematic viscosity 100° C. of 7 to 17 cSt.

A process for producing base oil hydrocarbon product from a feedstock containing organic material of biological origin, the process comprising:

• a) providing a feedstock containing organic material of biological origin;
• b) pre-treating the feedstock in one or more pre-treatment stages to obtain a purified feedstock;
• c) subjecting said purified feedstock to one or more hydrotreatment stage(s) to produce a hydrotreated stream;
• and
• at least one distillation step after a first or a subsequent hydrotreatment stage, in which distillation at least two fractions are obtained, a first heavy bottom fraction which is collected as a base oil hydrocarbon product, and a second middle fraction which is subjected to further process steps and/or collected as middle distillate product.
