Since the FTC loosened the terminology about what is labeled "semi-synthetic", the chemistry gets muddled since that could be anything from 5% to 95%,..... 
American Refining Group, makers of Brad-Penn oils, calls the 20w-50 racing oil, a semi-synthetic product. I'm in no position to dispute that since they do not reveal the details of their chemical composition, nor the processes used in the manufacture.
That said, its really a great product and does the job that I expect.
