Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method of processing a hydrocarbon feed includes fractionating the hydrocarbon feed into a light stream and a heavy stream, hydrotreating the heavy stream to form a hydrotreated heavy stream, combining the light stream and the hydrotreated heavy stream to form a upgraded feed stream, and feeding the upgraded feed stream to a single Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reaction zone, thereby producing a product stream comprising light olefins. The light stream may comprise hydrocarbons boiling at less than 343° C. and the heavy stream may comprise hydrocarbons boiling at greater than 343° C. The FCC reaction zone may be operated in a down-flow configuration and the FCC may be operated under high severity conditions.
