About Vivakor, Inc.

Vivakor, Inc. is a U.S.-based company listed on the Nasdaq market in the United States, with a business model centered on energy infrastructure and environmental services tied to the oil industry. For European investors, the name should be viewed primarily as a small-cap midstream and services platform rather than a conventional upstream producer. The company was originally formed in 2006 as Genecular Holdings, LLC, converted into a Nevada corporation in 2008, and subsequently adopted the Vivakor, Inc. name. Its current operating presence and contact address are in Dallas, Texas, reflecting a practical base within the U.S. energy corridor. Vivakor’s business is now organized around three reportable segments: crude oil transportation and logistics, terminaling and storage facility services, and supply and trading. The company provides trucking and pipeline-related transport services for crude oil and produced water, with its trucking footprint centered in the Permian and Eagle Ford basins. It also operates terminal and storage assets used for gathering, blending, storing, and transferring crude oil and related petroleum products. Since 2024, Vivakor has expanded into supply and trading, which it uses to buy and sell crude oil and related products, broadening revenue opportunities and helping monetize its asset base more efficiently. From a competitive standpoint, Vivakor occupies a niche position in a field dominated by larger, better-capitalized midstream operators. Its value proposition is less about scale and more about integration: the company combines transportation, storage, and trading capabilities within a single operational platform. Management has also highlighted an environmental angle, with a remediation segment under development that is intended to provide treatment and recycling solutions for oilfield waste and related materials. Recent corporate developments have been important for market participants. Vivakor faced Nasdaq compliance pressure after its share price fell below the exchange’s minimum bid threshold. On March 24, 2026, the company executed a 1-for-200 reverse stock split to restore compliance, and Nasdaq confirmed on April 27, 2026 that trading could resume. That sequence underscores both the liquidity and financing risks associated with the stock and the company’s determination to maintain a public market listing. Overall, Vivakor remains a highly speculative equity exposure, but it offers a distinctive integrated platform around crude oil transportation, storage, and trading in the United States.
