Feb 02, 2026 Vivakor Inc. VIVK has signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell its midstream business and transportation assets to Olenox Industries Inc. OLOX for approximately $36 million, according to a company statement.
The transaction involves the sale of CPE Gathering MidCon LLC, which operates the Omega pipeline system in Oklahoma's STACK play. The Omega system provides crude oil gathering, transportation, terminaling and pipeline connection services in the region.
The $36 million transaction will be paid through a combination of cash, promissory note, common stock and preferred stock. The valuation is based on $4.56 million in annual EBITDA under a take-or-pay guarantee from Vivakor.

The Omega system generates fee-based cash flows and provides crude gathering, transportation and terminaling services to producers in the STACK region. The assets include storage and blending facilities and pipeline injection points.
Both companies are working toward definitive agreements with a targeted closing date on or before March 31, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
