Forward Guidance
SandRidge remains focused on growing the value of its asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while exercising prudent capital allocations to projects that provide high rates of returns in the current commodity price environment.
Positive Outlook
- Artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems.
- High-graded re-fracturing and recompletion.
- Opportunistic leasing that could bolster future development and complement the recently acquired Cherokee assets.
- Incumbent leasehold remains approximately 99% held by production, which cost-effectively maintains its development option over a reasonable tenor.
- Vigilant in evaluating further merger and acquisition opportunities, with consideration of its strong balance sheet and commitment to its capital return program.
Challenges Ahead
- Assets have higher relative gas content for which prices are not yet at optimal levels to resume development or material reactivations.
- Forward-looking commodity prices, project results, costs and other factors could influence returns on investments over an expanded portfolio.
- Merger and acquisition opportunities might not materialize.
- Acquisition might not close or the closing may be delayed because conditions to the closing may not be satisfied
- The performance of the acquired interests is subject to risks and uncertainties
