It has to go to an oil refinery first. They will distill the oil into the various products they make - gasoline, diesel, asphalt, and the various hydrocarbon fractions like alcohols, olefins and benzene.
Sometimes the products they make are usable as they are, like gasoline. Other of their products are feedstocks for more complex chemicals, so those are sent to a chemical plant.
