An improved continuous process for converting lower olefinic hydrocarbon feedstock to C.sub.5.sup.+ liquid hydrocarbons by contacting vapor phase olefinic feedstream with acid zeolite catalyst in the presence of recycled diluent stream rich in C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbons in an enclosed reactor at elevated temperature and pressure. The improved technique comprises a system for cooling reactor effluent to recover a heavier hydrocarbon stream containing a mixture of C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 hydrocarbons ...
