Amir SohailDallas, TX, (ZEEST MEDIA) — Vivakor, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIVK) (“Vivakor” or the “Company”), an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services, today announced that its commodities trading platform, Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC (“VST”), has entered into a recurring crude oil transaction covering approximately 2,000 barrels of crude oil per day delivered through Vivakor-operated pipeline-connected facilities in West Texas and New Mexico, further expanding the Company’s growing portfolio of recurring commercial arrangements.
The arrangement is scheduled to commence July 1, 2026 and is structured as a one-month evergreen agreement that automatically renews unless terminated by either party. Based on expected volumes and current market pricing, the transaction is anticipated to generate approximately $150,000 in gross revenue per day, or approximately $4.5 million per month, representing approximately $54 million in annualized gross revenue. Including this transaction, Vivakor’s recurring contracted commercial activities and announced supply and trading arrangements now represent more than $323 million in annualized contracted revenue opportunities based on current pricing assumptions and expected volumes, further demonstrating the continued expansion of the Company’s integrated infrastructure and supply & trading platform.
Under the arrangement, crude oil volumes will be delivered through Vivakor-operated pipeline-connected injection stations across the Permian Basin region of West Texas and New Mexico and marketed at the inlet of the Energy Transfer pipeline system. The transaction further demonstrates Vivakor’s ability to leverage its integrated infrastructure network to originate, transport, market, and deliver crude oil volumes while increasing utilization across its operating asset base.
“This transaction further validates the strategic value of our pipeline-connected infrastructure network across the Permian and Delaware Basins,” said James Ballengee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vivakor. “By combining commodity marketing capabilities with physical infrastructure assets, we are able to provide customers with efficient market access while increasing throughput and commercial activity across our operating platform.”
Ballengee continued, “The transaction highlights the operational advantages created by our network of injection stations, transportation assets, terminals, and pipeline connectivity throughout Texas and New Mexico. We believe continued growth in recurring commercial activity will drive increased utilization of our infrastructure assets and support the expansion of our supply and trading platform.”
Vivakor recently highlighted the strategic importance of its integrated infrastructure network, which includes ten pipeline-connected injection stations across Texas and New Mexico connected to major crude oil transportation systems, including Energy Transfer, Centurion, Plains Basin, Cactus II, Permian Express, and Enterprise pipeline networks. The Company believes these strategically located assets provide significant commercial opportunities to support increasing crude oil production and transportation activity throughout the Southwestern United States.
Consistent with standard commodity trade transactions, VST will generally recognize a small percentage of total contract value as its revenue on the relevant transaction, reflecting its role as an intermediary within the physical commodity supply chain. The actual revenue recognized by VST will vary based on market conditions, commodity pricing, transaction structure, and volumes delivered.
