Crude oil IS oil so you don't separate oil from it. You do refine crude oil, separateing parts of it that are used for a variety of purposes. This is usually done by fractional distillation. You heat the crude oil so that the parts with higher boiling points become vapors, the vapors are taken to condensers at different temperatures so materials with different boiling points are condensed into different channels and moved for furhter processing.
Portions that do not convert to vapor have very high boiling points and generally are the larger molecules. These "bottoms" hare broken into lighter chemicals in fractionation columns.

What is a fraction in crude oil?
Crude oil is a mixture of various chemicals. If you distill crude oil you can separate it into components, which are also known as fractions.
Why the chemicals in crude oil separate out in a particular order?
Crude oil is made out of hydro-carbons which causes the oil to separate out in a particular oil. The different fractions of carbons work independently from each other.
Why can you separate crude oil using distillation?
To separate crude oil through the process called fractional distillation is the purest way to do it, it is also faster and less labour.
How can you separate hydrocarbons from crude oil?
By using the boiling point of each substance to separate it out
What process is used to separate the hydrocarbons in crude oil?
Fractional Distillation
Used to separate substances from crude oil?
You can separate substances in a crude oil by distillation process. But you have to know what are the boiling points of each of the substance in the crude oil.

How does naphtha separate from the other fractions of crude oil?
fractional distillation
Which is used to separate the components of petroleum?
Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil into many components.
How would you separate crude oil into petrol oil diesel etc?
you put all the gas from the petrol into a tube with water and then a spare tube will take the crude oil into it. so there you go.
Where does crude oil go to be made into different products?
Okay Ly x -fractional distillation Warhamr
What separating method to use to separate crude oil to get pure oil?
The best method is fractional distillation.
