1. A method of upgrading a first hydrocarbon product to form a second hydrocarbon product, the method comprising:
providing a feedstock of the first hydrocarbon product to a reactor; and
reacting the first hydrocarbon product in the reactor in the presence of a gas and a catalyst structure to produce the second hydrocarbon product;
wherein:
the catalyst structure comprises a porous support structure comprising an aluminosilicate material, and a plurality of metals loaded in the porous support structure, the plurality of metals comprising at least three metals selected from the group consisting of Ga, Ag, Mo, and Co, wherein each metal loaded in the porous support structure is present in an amount from about 0.1 wt % to about 20 wt % based upon the weight of the porous support structure;
the gas comprises methane, hydrogen or nitrogen; and
one or more properties of the second hydrocarbon product is changed in relation to the first hydrocarbon product.
