Embodiments of an invention disclosed herein relate to particles made from zeolite catalysts and their use in oligomerization processes. In particular, extrudates having an average particle size of from 1.6 mm (about 1/16th inch) or less or, alternatively, from 1.3 mm (about 1/20th inch) or less are made from compositions including the product of at least one zeolite catalyst and at least one binder. The extrudates may be shaped particles, for example, multilobe extrudates. Selon l'invention, des modes de réalisation concernent des particules faites de catalyseurs zéolites et leur utilisation dans des procédés d'oligomérisation. En particulier, des extrudats ayant une dimension moyenne de particule d'au plus 1,6 mm (environ 1/16ème de pouce) ou, en variante, d'au plus 1,3 mm (environ 1/20ème de pouce) sont faits de compositions comprenant le produit d'au moins un catalyseur zéolite et d'au moins un liant. Les extrudats peuvent être des particules mises en forme, par exemple des extrudats multilobés.
