The company concentrates its operations primarily in the Anadarko Basin, applying horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing techniques to exploit unconventional reservoirs. SandRidge’s asset portfolio includes both crude oil and natural gas liquids, complemented by associated gas production, with infrastructure investments designed to optimize midstream availability and enhance capital efficiency.

Founded in 2006 by industry veteran Tom L.

The company became publicly traded in 2007, executing a series of transactions to scale its footprint. In 2016, SandRidge voluntarily reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy to deleverage its balance sheet and emerge with a streamlined funding structure and renewed focus on core assets.

Since emerging from reorganization, SandRidge has strategically realigned its portfolio to concentrate on high-return projects in the Cana and Woodford shale plays. Headquartered in Oklahoma City, the company emphasizes operational discipline and cost control, integrating advanced completion technologies and digital monitoring to improve well performance and reduce environmental impact.
