Summary:Methods are provided for oligomerizing a dilute ethylene feed to form oligomers suitable for use as fuels and/or lubricant base oils. The fuels and/or lubricant base oils are formed by oligomerization of impure dilute ethylene with a zeolitic catalyst, where the zeolitic catalyst is resistant to the presence of poisons such as sulfur and nitrogen in the ethylene feed. The oligomers can also be formed in presence of diluents such as light paraffins.
