Crude oil, which is heated by pressure deep underground, is a thick, sludgy tar on the surface. It gives off volatile gases as a pungent smell. Fractional distillation removes many valuable organic chemicals from petroleum, which are used for fuel, lubrication, fertilizer, plastics, and liquid gases.

Why does crude oil need to be separated?
You use fractional distillation. This involves a fractionating tower in which vaporised crude oil is fed into. It relies on the substances in crude oil having differnet boiling points. The temperature decreases further up the column, so shorter chain molecules condense near the top, while longer chain molecules - like bitumen - condense lower down - near 350 degrees. This refines crude oil easily.
