Where does CountryMark source its crude oil?
The CountryMark refinery in Mount Vernon, Ind., uses 100 percent American crude sourced from the Illinois Basin, a 53,000 square mile depression underneath most of Illinois, western Indiana, western Kentucky and northern Tennessee. A system of approximately 500 miles of pipelines owned by CountryMark is used to gather the crude from thousands of small wells that are owned by farmers and other individuals who own the land above the oil field.
