Vivakor, a major integrated oil storage provider for the international market, has boosted its capabilities by signing a non-binding letter of intent to acquire the Coyote Oilfield Services company. Vivakor offers energy developers essential solutions for the oil market, and has boosted its corporate capabilities for the global midstream sector by acquiring the substantial services offered by Coyote Oilfield Services. A new era of increased energy demand has emerged, and Vivakor is aiming to lead the charge this year.
Vivakor boosts its integrated infrastructure and logistics capabilities through a new acquisition
For the vast majority of energy developments across the world, managing the necessary infrastructure and logistics for an energy project often times requires the services of companies that focus on the logistical side of the energy market.
In most cases, energy companies leverage the substantial expertise of firms such as Vivakor to develop energy projects and reach key milestones in advancing operations. Vivakor has, over the years, developed an integrated asset management program that rivals the largest companies in the world.
The company recently revealed that it has acquired Coyote Oilfield Services through its affiliate, Vivakor Midstream. This acquisition has boosted the company’s midstream services for the global energy market, which has become a necessity as new demand for energy emerges this year.
The now agreed-upon acquisition intends to expand Vivakor’s midstream capabilities by adding the substantially complementary services that Coyote Oilfield Services brings to the table.
“We are excited to team up with the Coyote team. They bring proven operational, construction, and commercial capabilities that meaningfully enhance Vivakor’s integrated midstream platform. We believe this combination positions us to deliver more comprehensive, customer-focused infrastructure solutions while strengthening relationships across our core markets.” – Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee
Improving infrastructure development has become a top priority as demand is set to surge this year
2026 is set to bring a surge in new developments across the global energy market. New operations and boosting existing ones come with a litany of challenges, including the marketing side of operations, which Coyote has become an expert at.
Coyote is a sizable growth-oriented logistics provider and infrastructure developer for the international energy market, and by combining efforts with Vivakor, could open the door to a surge in energy generation this year as new possibilities for energy production emerge across the global market.
Among the long list of benefits that the acquisition provides Vivakor are:
- Substantial expertise in the design, construction, and management of crude oil pipelines
- increased gathering and processing terminals for oil production across the global market
- new marketing potential for midstream operations
- efficiently support customers’ energy project development needs
With new pipelines in the United States set to bring a surge in energy production this year, the market is set to continue its upward trajectory in 2026.
“Vivakor’s integrated midstream platform and disciplined approach to infrastructure development make them a strong strategic fit for Coyote. Our team has deep experience designing, constructing, and operating pipeline, terminal, and related oilfield infrastructure, and we believe combining those execution capabilities with Vivakor’s broader platform will allow us to deliver projects more efficiently, scale solutions faster, and better support customers across key energy markets.” – Michael Duffy, Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Coyote Oilfield Services
The end of Russia’s dominance of the global oil market has opened the door for new developments
With both parties noting that they expect the deal to be closed by February 28, 2026, VIvakor’s acquisition of Coyote Oilfield Services points to a broader trend of new operations requiring significant input from infrastructure and logistics specialists to reach key development milestones. Sebia and Hungary are developing a new oil pipeline to transport Russian oil, leaving a sizable gap in the market that companies such as Vivakor could fill.
