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...
