Crude in & products out

From refinery research; each row links its source.
DirectionModeRoutePoint / originProductsSource
crude in pipeline Illinois Basin Gathering
CountryMark operates its own crude gathering pipelines. Its pipeline map shows two crude gathering lines running into Mt. Vernon from the north-west, and the 2026 Indiana air permit lists crude oil pipeline tenders at the refinery. This is a gathering system that carries crude, not a products line.
Illinois Basin wells crude source
crude in truck CountryMark crude oil trucking
The 2026 Indiana air permit lists two crude oil tank truck unloading stations at the refinery. CountryMark runs its own crude oil trucking department.
Illinois Basin leases crude source
crude in marine CountryMark river dock, Ohio River mile 829.7
Crude by river barge. The Army Corps of Engineers dock record gives the purpose of the dock as receipt and shipment of petroleum products and receipt of crude oil. The record has a 1990 service date and does not give volumes.
Not stated crude source
products out pipeline CountryMark Pipeline
CountryMark's own finished product pipeline starts at Mt. Vernon and runs north through Switz City and Jolietville to Peru, Indiana, with a CountryMark terminal at each point. Peru is the end of the line. It is a private line with no published tariff.

River barge dock. The Army Corps of Engineers record gives its purpose as receipt and shipment of petroleum products and receipt of crude oil. The 2026 Indiana air permit treats the refinery and this marine loading and unloading dock terminal as one source. The record has a 1990 service date and does not say which products are shipped.
Ohio River mile 829.7, right bank, Mann and Ohio Streets, Mount Vernon, Indiana source
products out rail Refinery rail car loading
The 2026 Indiana air permit lists asphalt railroad car loading and butane railroad car unloading among the refinery's minor loading activities. No rail loading of gasoline or diesel is listed. The permit does not name the railroad.

    Major scheduled turnaround and startup tied to the diesel expansion project; reporting says key units were idled for more than 40 days in summer 2025. source

  7. 2025 turnaround

    Further downtime was planned in fall 2025 for maintenance and improvements, following the turnaround earlier in the year. source

  8. 2024-10 expansion

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
