•Location: Robinson, Illinois, USA
•Capacity: 10.3 million tons/annum & 206,000 bbl/day

Refining Units
•Atmospheric Distillation, 206,000 bpd
•Vacuum Distillation, 71,500 bpd
•Delayed Coker, 29,000 bpd
•Fluidised Catalytic Cracker, 55,000 bpd
•Hydrocracking, 28,000
•Catalytic Reforming (Low Pressure), 78,000
•Naphtha Desulphurisation, 66,500 bpd
•Gasoline Desulphurisation, 39,000 bpd
•Diesel Desulphurisation, 78,500 bpd

And these figures would be plausible if the oil was drilled near the Robinson oil refinery, but the oil supply (most of it) is not locally sourced and is transported to Robinson via three pipelines.

• Capline Oil Pipeline: The pipeline originates at the St James Oil Terminal in Louisiana, passes near Memphis and terminates in the Patoka oil terminal in Illinois.

• Pegasus Crude Oil Pipeline: The pipeline transports oil almost exclusively from Western Canada.

• Woodpat Oil Pipeline: The pipeline runs from Wood River Illinois to Patoka oil terminal in Illinois and also connects with Kansas and Oklahoma.

A fourth is under construction at the moment.

• Dakota Access Crude Oil Pipeline: Pipeline will bring shale oil from North Dakota via the Patoka oil terminal.

Although the Illinois Basin has historically been the third most oil productive area in the US. Much of the conventional oil was drilled out in the early to mid-20th Century and has been in decline since the 1950's. Most recent drilling has been centred on shale oil and gas. Oil fields in Illinois are primarily in the southern half of the state. Robinson is in the southern half of Illinois, but just barely and located in the extreme eastern part near the border with Indiana and most of the state's oil fields are not very near Robinson. In 1998, the average daily oil production from an Illinois well was only 1 to 2 barrels (42 to 84 gallons). So a small quantity of oil will be locally sourced to refine different oil products but nowhere near enough to support the figures in your list.
