What has to be done to crude oil before it is useful?

Crude oil undergoes fractional distillation to separate its components into fractions based on their boiling points. After distillation, these fractions are further refined by processes such as cracking, reforming, and desulfurization to remove impurities and produce usable fuels and products.
