Chairman and CEO Matt Nicosia stated, "We are very pleased with the progress and advancements we have made in Utah this past quarter, as well as the opportunities that we have established in Saudi Arabia. We continue as the only Company with the technological potential to produce and micro refine the bitumen in the sands from the Uintah Basin in Utah. We also strongly believe that as operations and permitting in Saudi Arabia are completed that our contract and association with operator, RRT, will be the long-term solution for remediation and reclamation in that region. Our new offering to investors of a royalty program on the new contracts and opportunities that arising out of the Middle East is coming to fruition. We have continued to make strides to be the solution for waste hydrocarbons in the highest producing nations in the world."

Vivakor continues to focus on total asset accrual in their Energy Business Units. The Company developed a proprietary, environmentally clean methodology for extraction of oil from the material and sand in Utah. This proprietary, patent pending technology has been combined with a thermal, hydrocarbon cracking and extraction technology for remediation and reclamation in Saudi Arabia. Vivakor's intellectual properties are proprietary and proving industry disruptive with a low-cost basis in their operations model in the natural resources sector. The Company focus is specifically in green, clean oil extraction from rich oil material and is expanding worldwide in support of significant remediation and reclamation projects.
