Exhibit 99.1

Vivakor Secures One-Year Bakken Crude Oil Transaction Expected to Generate $115 Million in Annualized Revenue; Contracted 2026 Revenues at Approximately $269 Million

Recurring 4,000 Barrel-Per-Day Crude Oil Transaction Expands Supply & Trading Activity Through North Dakota Infrastructure

Dallas, TX – GlobeNewswire – June 17, 2026 – 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 one-year crude oil transaction that will commence July 1, 2026.

The transaction covers approximately 120,000 barrels of crude oil per month under a one-year arrangement running from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with month-to-month continuation thereafter. Based on expected volumes and current market pricing, the agreement is anticipated to generate approximately $9.6 million in gross revenue per month, representing approximately $115 million in annualized gross revenue. The arrangement further expands VST’s recurring commercial activity in the Bakken region and reflects Vivakor’s continued execution of its integrated infrastructure and supply & trading strategy. Inclusive of this transaction, Vivakor estimates that its recurring contracted commercial activities and previously announced supply and trading arrangements represent approximately $269 million in annualized contracted revenue opportunities for 2026, based on current pricing assumptions and expected volumes.

The crude oil volumes will be delivered through Vivakor’s pipeline-connected injection facilities located at Stanley and Beaver Lodge, North Dakota, providing direct access to regional transportation infrastructure. The arrangement further expands Vivakor Supply & Trading’s commercial footprint in the Bakken region while increasing utilization of the Company’s strategically positioned gathering and logistics assets.

“This transaction demonstrates the value of integrating commodity marketing with physical infrastructure,” said James Ballengee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vivakor. “By utilizing our pipeline-connected injection facilities in the Bakken region, we are able to provide customers with reliable market access while increasing throughput and commercial activity across our operating platform. We continue to see attractive opportunities to expand recurring crude oil marketing volumes in regions where our infrastructure provides a competitive advantage and supports long-term customer relationships.”

Ballengee continued, “The Bakken remains one of North America’s most important crude oil producing regions, and this agreement further strengthens our commercial presence in the basin. We believe the combination of strategically located infrastructure assets and growing marketing capabilities positions Vivakor to continue expanding recurring revenue opportunities while enhancing utilization across our network.”

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.

Vivakor

Highlights Strategic Value of Its Southwestern U.S.

Midstream

Infrastructure Network Amid Elevated Crude Oil Market Volatility

Company Highlights Strategic Connectivity Across Key Domestic Producing Regions

Dallas, TX – GlobeNewswire – June 17, 2026 – Vivakor, Inc. (Nasdaq: VIVK) (“Vivakor” or the “Company”), an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services, today highlighted the strategic positioning of its integrated midstream operating assets across several major U.S. producing basins amid elevated crude oil price volatility and increasing demand for domestic energy logistics infrastructure.

Vivakor is a diversified midstream energy company, operating oil terminals, trucking fleets, pipeline injection stations, and a crude oil pipeline infrastructure across several of the most active U.S. producing basins, including Permian, Delaware, Haynesville and Eagle Ford.

Vivakor’s network of operating assets in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas:

Vivakor’s operating network includes pipeline-connected injection stations, terminaling infrastructure, transportation assets, and storage operations designed to support regional crude oil movement and market connectivity.

Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee commented, “Periods of elevated crude oil volatility typically increase the importance of strategically located transportation, storage, and pipeline-connected infrastructure across domestic oil producing regions. We believe Vivakor’s operating footprint across highly active oil basins positions the Company to support increasing regional crude oil movement through strategically connected logistics, storage and terminaling infrastructure.”

Pipeline-Connected Infrastructure Network:

10 pipeline injection stations in Texas and New Mexico supported by a fleet of more than 100 tanker truck fleet

Connecting pipelines in Texas: Centurion Pipeline (Lotus), Plains Basin Pipeline, Cactus II, Permian Express, The West Texas System (Enterprise)

Crude Oil Terminal (White Claw Colorado City), 120,000 bbl storage capacity with connection to the Enterprise Pipeline, Scurry Gathering System, and optionality to tie into the Midland Basin System

Omega Terminal in Oklahoma, 100,000 bbl storage capacity, connected to Cushing, Oklahoma through the Omega Pipeline and Plains Pipeline network

Domestic Infrastructure Demand:

Crude oil markets have experienced significant volatility during 2026, with Brent crude prices rising sharply amid heightened geopolitical tensions and supply concerns in the Middle East.

Higher oil prices typically support increased domestic drilling activity and oil production. Analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas reports that U.S. drilling activity tends to accelerate when oil prices rise above the $70 to $80 per barrel range, supporting increased production activity and longer-term drilling programs. At current price levels, the economics for regional crude production in the Southwestern U.S. are substantially improved, increasing demand for existing transportation, storage, terminaling, and pipeline-connected infrastructure throughout the region.

Vivakor

Surpasses $323 Million in Annualized Contracted Revenue with New Permian Basin Crude Oil Transaction

Recurring Crude Oil Volumes Flow Through Company’s Pipeline-Connected Infrastructure Network in West Texas and New Mexico

Dallas, TX – GlobeNewswire – June 18, 2026 – 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.
