Through a process known as fractional distillation, also called cracking.
The oil is heated and vapours of the various components are given off. The different vapours condense at different temperatures and these fractions are collected.

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.
What are substances that are extracted from crude oil without being changed?
Crude Oil is the mixture of difference substances, substances are seprated from crude oil through the process of Fractional Distillation. the substances extracted from crude oil are as follow : Fuel Gas (LPG) Petrol Naptha (used for plastics) Kerosene Diesel Fuel Oil (used to Fuel Ships) Lubricating Oil Bitumen (used for building roads)
Which physical property makes it possible to separate components of crude oil by means of distillation?
boiling point
What can crude oil make?
Crude oil can be refined to make a plethora of petroleum product. Kerosene, gasoline, petroleum jelly (commonly known as Vaseline), lubricating oil, and heavy fuel, and many other products. Crude oil contains many different substances which all separate during the refining process.
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.
How do you get these substances from crude oil?
Fractional Distillation-I think
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 crude oil is separated into useful fraction?
Crude oil is separated into different substances with similar boiling points. The substances in crude oil can be separated using fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapours are allowed to condense at different temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a similar number of carbon atoms
How can you separate hydrocarbons from crude oil?
By using the boiling point of each substance to separate it out
How do you get oil out of the ground?
Oil is pumped out of the ground by first locating the oil and determining how far below the ground it is. A large drill is then used to drill to where the oil is and a rig is used to pump the oil out of the ground to be sent off to the refinery.
How do you separate components of crude oil with different boiling points?
Distillation
