Aramco and Vivakor Inc have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for remediation and reclamation services, according to an announcement made by Vivakor.
The understanding is that Vivakor and its joint venture partner RRT (VIVARRT) will provide oil cleanup in various areas throughout the country.
Aramco currently produces 10mn barrels of oil per day, and as a matter of course in their daily operations inadvertently spills oil. They have three designated oil waste disposal sites throughout the country and VIVARRT will work directly with long-standing in-country agents in the cleanup.
