Different grades of crude oil has different yeilds of product. Crude is taken to the crude units where about 40% is gasoline 7% napatha, 12% kerosene, 12% Distilate,10% gasoil or cracker charge,and about 18-20% bottoms or topped crude, this is taken to the Vacumn unit where more cracker chg is pulled off, the bottom from the vac. unit goes to the cokeing unit where more cracker chg is pulled off. This is cracked where more gasoline is made along with a diesel blend that is blended with the distilate and kero. The gasoline off the crude unit is taken to the reforming unit where it is upgraded to a higher octane. This all based on Oklahoma sweet crude of which there is very little to refine these days.
