No, fractional distillation was used to make brandy, whisky, perfumes, etc. long before there was an oil industry. However in those cases the mixture being distilled usually only had 2 or 3 fractions to separate, whereas crude oil has dozens.
Fractional distillation is used to separe the components of a liquid.
Usually by fractional distillation. BT+NG=BFFL
Whether it is better to use fractional or simple distillation depends on the liquids being separated and on the boiling points of the liquids. When there is a great difference between the boiling points of the liquids, simple distillation may be a better option. Likewise, if there is a small difference in boiling points, then fractional distillation is used.
Distillation is used frequently.

The key difference between fractional and simple distillation is that fractional distillation is used when the components in the mixture have closer boiling points, while simple distillation is used when the components in the mixture have a large difference in their boiling points
