A METHOD TO PROCESS HEAVY CRUDE OILS ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method to process heavy crude oils in atmospheric distillation, vacuum distillation and catalytic cracking units; the method is characterized by a particular stage in which a residue of the primary distillation is fed into a contaminant extraction unit, such residue mainly comprising asphaltenes, sulfur and metals such as Fe, Cu, Ni, and V by using selective solvents. Once the contaminants are removed, the process is carried out according to the following steps: the extract obtained is fed into a normal vacuum distillation unit; the vacuum gas oil stream is fed into a catalytic cracking unit and the residue is fed from the vacuum unit into processing units such as the viscosity breaking, coking, asphalt and fuel oil preparation units.
