Following these transactions, Vivakor has announced recurring commercial programs representing approximately $709 million in annualized commercial activity and approximately 8.1 million barrels of annual marketed crude oil volumes, based on current market pricing assumptions. These recurring commercial programs complement the Company's transportation, terminaling and storage operations.
"These agreements represent another important milestone for Vivakor Supply & Trading. They increase our recurring marketed volumes, broaden our commercial relationships and further demonstrate our ability to execute our strategy of integrating commodity marketing with our transportation, terminaling and storage assets. We believe continued execution of this strategy will create long-term value for our shareholders."
Consistent with standard physical commodity marketing transactions, VST only recognizes a small percentage of the total contract value as gross profit, reflecting its role as an intermediary in the physical crude oil supply chain. Accordingly, the gross profit recognized by VST will represent only a portion of the estimated commercial activity described above and will vary based on market conditions, commodity pricing, transaction structure and delivered volumes.
