Feedstock vs. Raw materials

Refinery processes
I'm translating a general overview of the refinery process.The document refers to crude oil and natural gas as raw materials and later on says that "all refineries are different regarding their configuration, process integration, feedstock and feedstock flexibility".
I can't understand if the two terms are synonyms or if both must be translated "materie prime"
Thank you in advance

materie prime (o materie greggie)
In questo conteso feedstock e raw materials sono sinonimi. Secondo me puoi rendere ambedue con "materie prime" (o greggie).

apprrovvigionamenti vs.materie prime
They are basically synonyms, with a slight difference.
Raw material is a general definition, regardless the context (iron, oil, etc.)
Feedstock is raw material in its employment in industrial or production processes (as far as used in industrial production).
So, 'approvvigionamenti' vs. 'matrie prime'

componenti di base/primari vs. materie prime
Feedstock sono materiali (talvolta già lavorati) ma che fungeranno da composti di base per altri materiali. Ad esempio,etilene, propilene e benzene servono come base per altri composti.
Invece raw materials sono le materie prime ancora non soggette ad alcun processo, ovvero allo stato di natura. Un'altra soluzione e rendere Feedstock con materie prime e raw material con materie greggie.
