I like three new oil changes for how they contribute to game progression. But I think the oil and advanced oil processing need rebalancing.

At the moment, heavy oil makes more petroleum than basic oil processing does. On top of that it produces other fluids that can be cracked to petroleum.

Can I suggest the basic oil petroleum out is increased to being above that of advanced, but way below what you get after cracking?

I believe that is the intent, that the advanced version is a significant improvement in every way. The difficulty curve is supposed to be smoothed out a bit, but the jump to only advanced is still intentional. For what that is worth.
