1. A process for conversion of crude oil comprising sulfur and metals characterized in that this process separates such feed into streams based on sulfur content, treats one or more liquid portions of such separate streams for sulfur removal while leaving other portions untreated, and then recombines a majority of the volumes of all treated and untreated liquid streams to form a liquid fuel having an actual sulfur content at or below a target sulfur content, said process comprising(a) separating said crude (2) by one or more distillation (100, 200) and solvent separation (300) steps, into light overhead still gases (4), metals enriched residue (90) insoluble in one or more solvents used for said solvent separation, gases comprising sulfur (420), and liquid fractions above sulfur breakpoint (20, 40) and liquid fractions at or below breakpoint (10),(b) treating, by one or more hydrotreating steps, liquid fractions of over sulfur breakpoint (20, 40), but not liquid fractions at or below sulfur breakpoint (10) or insoluble residue (90), to form one or more hydrotreated streams (60, 70) having reduced sulfur content, and(c) combining said hydrotreated streams (60, 70) with liquid fractions at or below sulfur breakpoint (10) to form said fuel (600).
