Petrochemical products may be produced from a hydrocarbon material by a process that may include separating the hydrocarbon material into at least a lesser boiling point fraction and a greater boiling point fraction, cracking the lesser boiling point fraction in a first reactor in the presence of a catalyst at a reaction temperature of from 500&#xb0; C. to 700&#xb0; C. to produce a first cracking reaction product, and cracking the greater boiling point fraction in a second reactor in the presence of the catalyst at a reaction temperature of from 500&#xb0; C. to 700&#xb0; C. to produce a second cracking reaction product. The hydrocarbon material may be crude oil. The first reactor may be a riser, and the second reactor may be a downer. The catalyst may be passed from the first reactor to the second reactor, from the second reactor to a regenerator, and from the regenerator to the first reactor, such that the catalyst is circulated between the first reactor, second reactor, and regenerator. An amount of coke may be reduced on the catalyst in the regenerator.
