   Hello
   
   Components of CRUDE OIL
   
   a) Light Distillates:
   i) Naphtha - Made into gasoline/petrochemicals ii) Kerosene i hate science :)
   b) Middle distillates i) Light gas oil - made into jet/diesel furnace fuels ii)Heavy gas oil - further processing to produce naphtha and other products
   
   c)Residue - further processed into refinery fuels, heavy fuel oil, waxes, greases asphalts [the lighter the stuff the higher the price]
