Huge caravans of oil tanker trucks are supplying specific countries with oil at discount prices . The Obama administration via intelligence knows this ,but hasn't taken out the hundreds of tankers via aerial bombardment ? The military advisors appear to have their hands tied while ISIS builds it's empire that will be targeting middle East expansion. Then another issue is the need to take out Assad. My take is let the two major Islamic denominations Shia and Sunni to self destruct themselves.
ISIS isn't selling "to Turkey" but to Turks, mainly for local use in the border region. A concern with attacking the convoys is that drivers are not "ISIS" but civilians. Hopefully past attacks have reduced the pool of drivers willing to take the risk.
ISIS revenues are down as they have lost refineries, refinery capacity, and have reduced distribution channels and capabilities.
Isis controls most of Syria’s oil fields and crude is the militant group's biggest single source of revenue. Here we follow the progress of a barrel of oil from extraction to end user to see how the Isis production system works, who is making money from it, and why it is proving so challenging to disrupt, even with airstrikes."
"It is difficult to determine a definitive oil production figure for Isis-controlled areas. But it is clear production levels have dropped in the Syrian fields since they were taken over by the militants. Most oil fields in the area are aging and the group does not have the technology or equipment needed to maintain them.
A new air campaign on Isis oil by the US-led coalition started at the end of October and is now more effectively disrupting Isis's crude extraction. Production fell by 30 pct this month at al-Omar and al-Tanak, Isis's two top producing fields and the most targeted by the recent offensive. Up to now, however, it is still likely the most lucrative revenue stream for Isis's central leadership.
Though many believe that Isis relies on exports for its oil revenue, it profits from its captive markets closer to home in the rebel-held territories of northern Syria and in its self-proclaimed “caliphate”, which straddles the border between Syria and Iraq.

Oil is like a drug and the World is addicted. Even if your pimp/dealer smacks you, you'll still be coming back for more.
Yes Turkey carry the oil with new tech invisible tankers. Hundreds of tankers every day.
