Crude oils are extracted by fractioning crude oil in a fractioning tower. They are fractioned by heating to boiling point and rising up the tower where they condensate and come out in another form.

How do you separate paraffin wax from crude oil?

Waxes are separated from crude oils in a process called solvent dewaxing. A limited number of crude oils are suitable for processing in the lube oil refineries that run this process. These crude oils must have a high wax content in the original crude, resulting in a high pour point, making these types of crude oils difficult to extract and process in other refinery units.
