Process for conversion of very light, sweet crude oil to chemicals

A process for converting light or very light sweet crudes and condensates to chemicals and petrochemicals, the process comprising:

• providing a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising a crude oil or condensate having an API gravity of at least 35, a sulfur content of less than 0.2 wt %, and less than 10 wt % of hydrocarbons having a normal boiling point above 575° C.;
• heating the hydrocarbon feedstock in convective coils of a first cracking furnace and separating in a first separator to recover a light fraction and a residual liquid;
• heating the residual liquid in convective coils of a second cracking furnace and separating in a second separator to recover a middle fraction and optionally a heavy fraction;
• steam cracking the light fraction to produce a cracked light fraction;
• steam cracking the middle fraction to produce a cracked middle fraction;
• and
• separating the cracked light fraction and the cracked middle fraction to recover one or more product fractions including an ethylene fraction and a propylene fraction,
• wherein the light fraction and the middle fraction are steam cracked without any intermediate processing.
