Vivakor (NASDAQ:VIVK) has announced the strategic sale of its non-core business units, Meridian Equipment Leasing and Equipment Transport, subsidiaries of Vivakor Transportation. The transaction yields $11 million in net consideration and eliminates $59 million in debt, significantly improving the company's financial position.

The divestiture marks Vivakor's exit from the produced water transportation sector, with the sold units previously operating truck and trailer fleets serving the Permian and Eagle Ford Basins. The company will now focus on its core operations in crude oil transportation, midstream infrastructure, and environmental remediation services, particularly emphasizing reuse technologies.

The company's infrastructure facilitates efficient crude blending and compression while supporting upstream operators' volume growth. Operating in the Permian Basin, which accounts for over 40% of total U.S. oil production, positions Vivakor to capitalize on the region's growth as an integrated provider of energy transportation, storage, reuse, and remediation services.
