Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for forming soft asphalt compositions with improved properties that are derived from distillation of a crude oil (or mixture of crude oils) having an API gravity of 24° or less. In order to form a target asphalt composition from a feedstock having an API gravity of 24° or less, a distillation is performed where at least two fractions are generated that have a T10 distillation point of 430° C. or more. A first fraction can correspond to a distillate fraction having a T10 distillation 2021em165-usoint of 430° C. or more. A second fraction can correspond to a bottoms fraction. Disproportionate blending can then be used to combine a portion of the first fraction with a portion of the second fraction. By using disproportionate blending of a distillate fraction and a bottoms fraction, an asphalt product fraction can be formed that has both a flash point of 270° C. or more and a KV100 between roughly 700 cSt and 1200 cSt.
