Petroleum refining Refinery plant and facilities Britannica
Each petroleum refinery is uniquely configured to process a specific raw material into a desired slate of products. In order to determine which configuration is most economical, engineers and planners survey the local market for petroleum products

The Fundamentals of Mineral Base Oil Refining
Propane deasphalting takes the residuum from the very bottom of the column (the heaviest, largest molecules) and separates them into two products: tar and compounds that are similar to the lube distillates but have a higher boiling point. This material is called deasphalted oil, and it will be refined in the same manner U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

The Fundamentals of Mineral Base Oil Refining
Refining is performed to remove unwanted chemical structures (rings, etc.) from the base oil to reduce the tendency of the base oil to age in service and also to improve the viscosity/temperature characteristics. Three basic refining processes are used by oil companies: (a) Sulphuric acid/clay refining (old, outdated technology)
