Vivakor signs four crude oil deals worth about $289 million annually

The recurring deals start Aug. 1, 2026, add 300,000 barrels a month in Cushing and Midland, and lift announced recurring commercial activity above $700 million annualized.

Summary

Vivakor, Inc. said its wholly owned subsidiary Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC executed four recurring physical crude oil purchase and sale transactions with two commercial counterparties, expanding its marketing footprint in the Cushing and Midland markets. The agreements begin August 1, 2026, add 300,000 barrels of marketed crude oil per month, or 3.6 million barrels annually, and are estimated to generate about $24.1 million in monthly commercial activity and about $289.2 million annualized based on current market pricing assumptions. After the additions, Vivakor said its announced recurring commercial programs total about $709 million in annualized commercial activity and about 8.1 million barrels of annual marketed crude oil volumes, while noting actual revenues and gross profit will vary and that VST recognizes only a small portion of total contract value as gross profit because it acts as an intermediary.
