DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 13, 2024 / Vivakor, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVK) ("Vivakor" or the "Company"), an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services, has formed a new business unit, Vivakor Supply & Trading ("VST"), focusing on petroleum marketing operations.

Vivakor management intends that VST will bolster operations, diversify revenue streams, and manage market risk at the Company's Delhi, Louisiana and Colorado City, Texas facilities through petroleum marketing activities. In addition, VST's marketing operations will complement the activities of the Endeavor Entities upon closing of the Company's acquisition thereof, as previously announced.

"This is an opportunity to create a more diversified and profitable Company," said James Ballengee, Chairman, President & CEO. "VST's marketing efforts will focus on maximizing performance of existing facilities and complementing the Company's planned mergers and acquisitions."

Ballengee continued, "Bolstering our footprint with VST is a natural next step in the evolution of Vivakor. Capitalizing upon available marketing opportunities and exposure compliments our existing facilities, our planned mergers and acquisitions, and gives us opportunities to capture more of the value chain and manage commodity market risk around those assets."
