Presentation slides to be viewed in conjunction with certain of the above Operational Highlights are available on the company's website, www.sandridgeenergy.com, under Investor Relations/Events.
Tom L. Ward, Chief Executive Officer of SandRidge, commented, "We have transformed our company to one whose oil reserves comprise approximately 50% to 70% of its total PV-10 value based on the pricing scenarios included in our sensitivity analysis. We are now poised to grow through the development of both oil and gas properties and expect our percentage of revenues from oil sales to continue to increase in the future. Our earnings potential is strong with over 80% of our estimated 2010 production hedged at $9.15 per Mcfe. We have hedged over $1.1 billion of oil revenues through 2012. We are also excited about the exploration opportunities that lie ahead in the WTO and have spud two wells to test two distinct structures that have been identified by 3-D seismic. Lastly, the Century Plant is scheduled to start up this summer, enabling us to expand our drilling of the Warwick Caballos reservoir in the Pinon Field.
"While gas PUDs were reduced on a PV-10 basis using a price of $3.87 per Mcf as determined under the new SEC price rule, we estimate our total proved reserves would have increased by about 20% had we used year end 2009 prices under the old SEC price rule. Under all pricing scenarios, the PV-10 value per Mcfe of our reserves ranks highly among our peers. As we approach start up of the Century Plant, we have ramped up drilling in the Pinon Field from a low of four rigs in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 12 rigs currently. In addition, we are currently running six rigs in the Permian Basin, where we are achieving exceptional rates of return at current oil prices. We are fortunate to be able to maximize earnings by running an appropriate mix of rigs in our oil and gas plays and having the option to adjust further from gas to oil drilling as dictated by project economics and return on investment."
Proved Reserves and PV-10 Sensitivity Analysis
The table below presents a comparison of the company's reserve volumes, PV-10, reserve replacement metrics and value of proved reserves per unit calculated using the 12-month average price as required under new SEC pricing rules that became effective December 31, 2009 and two alternate pricing scenarios. The company believes the estimation of reserves based upon the December 31, 2009 spot price is a useful comparison to the company's reserve calculation as of December 31, 2008, which also was based on year end spot prices under SEC rules then in effect. The estimation of reserves using a constant price based upon the average 10-year NYMEX strip price as of December 31, 2009 provides another view of the company's reserves. Cost assumptions were held constant among all three pricing scenarios. Prices below are before field differentials, although field differentials are applied in the calculations.

(5) The company's management uses proved reserve replacement as an
indicator of its ability to replenish annual production volumes and
grow its reserves. Management believes that reserve replacement is
relevant and useful information that is commonly used by analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the natural gas and oil
industry as a means of evaluating the operational performance and
prospects of entities engaged in the production and sale of
depleting natural resources. It should be noted that proved reserve
replacement is a statistical indicator that has limitations. As an
annual measure, proved reserve replacement is limited because it
typically varies widely based on the extent and timing of new
discoveries and property acquisitions. Its predictive and
comparative value is also limited for the same reasons. In addition,
since proved reserve replacement does not consider the cost or
timing of future production of new reserves, it cannot be used as a
measure of value creation. This financial measure does not
distinguish between changes in reserve quantities that are developed
and those that will require additional time and funding to develop.

for pipe inventory, seismic data and the acquisition of unproved
properties.

for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
2009 Financial Results
The company reported a net loss applicable to common stockholders for 2009 of $1.78 billion due to non-cash full cost ceiling impairments on its natural gas and oil properties totaling $1.7 billion during 2009 ($1.3 billion at March 31, 2009 and $0.4 billion at December 31, 2009) and price-related declines in natural gas and oil revenues.
Ceiling Test Impairment
The company utilizes the full cost method of accounting for its natural gas and oil properties. As required by SEC rules effective December 31, 2009, proved reserve volumes at December 31, 2009 were calculated using the average price for the 12-month period, using the first-day-of-the-month price for each month, compared to a one-day period end pricing method used in previous years. The use of these calculated averages resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $388.9 million against the carrying value of the company's natural gas and oil properties for the fourth quarter of 2009.
The calculated 12-month average per unit prices used in the estimation of proved reserves and future net revenues at December 31, 2009 were $3.87 per Mcf for natural gas and $57.65 per barrel for oil compared to the one-day period end prices of $5.71 per Mcf for natural gas and $41.00 per barrel of oil at December 31, 2008. This decline in natural gas prices caused some of the company's proved undeveloped reserves to be removed from its total proved reserves as those quantities could not be economically developed at the calculated price used to estimate proved reserves at December 31, 2009. Additionally, the decline in natural gas prices caused a shortening of the productive lives of certain proved properties as these properties became uneconomic earlier in their lives with the use of lower natural gas prices compared to prices used in the estimation of reserves in the previous periods. The PV-10, based upon 12-month average prices as required under the new SEC pricing rules, was $1.56 billion at December 31, 2009 compared to PV-10 of $2.26 billion at December 31, 2008 that was calculated using period end pricing.
Natural Gas and Oil Pricing
The average price received, excluding the impact of derivative contract settlements, for natural gas decreased 57.7% in the full year 2009 to $3.36 per Mcf compared to $7.95 per Mcf in 2008. The average price received, excluding the impact of derivative contract settlements, for natural gas in the fourth quarter of 2009 decreased 24.2% to $3.80 per Mcf compared to $5.01 per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2008. Similarly, average prices received, excluding the impact of derivative contract settlements, for oil production in the full year 2009 decreased 39.2% to $55.62 per barrel. However, average prices received, excluding the impact of derivative contract settlements, for oil production in the fourth quarter of 2009 increased 33.3% to $69.22 per barrel from fourth quarter 2008.
Natural gas and oil production increased by 3.4% to 104.8 Bcfe for 2009 from 101.4 Bcfe for 2008. This increase in total production for 2009 was offset by the lower average commodity prices received during the period, resulting in decreased natural gas and oil revenues of $454.7 million for 2009 compared to $908.7 million in 2008. Increased fourth quarter 2009 oil production and the higher associated prices received for that production were offset by lower natural gas production and average natural gas prices received resulting in decreased natural gas and oil revenues of $126.1 million compared to $151.9 million for the same period in 2008.
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Contracts
The company enters into natural gas and oil swaps and basis swaps for a portion of its production in order to stabilize future cash inflows for planning purposes. In that regard, 2009 results benefited by a net gain of $147.5 million ($200.5 million unrealized loss and $348.0 million realized gain) on derivative commodity contracts. This compares to a $211.4 million net gain ($224.4 million unrealized gain and $13.0 million realized loss) for 2008. The net gain on derivative commodity contracts for fourth quarter 2009 was $7.8 million ($64.0 million unrealized loss and $71.8 million realized gain) compared to a net gain of $215.5 million ($150.5 million unrealized gain and $65.0 million realized gain) for the same period in 2008.
Drilling Activities
At December 31, 2009, the company had 15 rigs operating compared to 8 at September 30, 2009 and 17 at December 31, 2008. The company averaged 11 rigs operating during the fourth quarter of 2009 and drilled 46 wells. The company drilled a total of 140 wells during 2009. A total of 44 gross (41.5 net) operated wells were completed and brought on production throughout the fourth quarter of 2009 bringing the total number of operated wells completed and brought on production during 2009 to 160 gross (148.0 net). Currently, SandRidge has 24 rigs operating, of which 12 are drilling in the Pinon Field area of the West Texas Overthrust (“WTO”) and 6 are drilling in the Permian Basin.
CO2 Treating Capacity and Century Plant
Construction of the Century Plant, located in Pecos County, Texas, remains on schedule with anticipated start up of Phase 1 in summer 2010. Century Plant Phase 1 will add approximately 400 MMcf per day of CO2 treating capacity, giving the company access to total CO2 treating capacity in the WTO of approximately 775 MMcf per day. Century Plant Phase 2 is expected to come on line in 2011, increasing access to total CO2 treating capacity to over 1 Bcf per day.
Exploration Update
Exploration efforts during the fourth quarter continued to focus on the integration of 3-D seismic data and evolving sub-surface geologic models. The first two wells of the company's exploratory program began drilling during the first quarter of 2010 and will each test structures of greater than 10,000 acres in size.

========== ==========
The company's total debt (short-term and long-term) increased $203.6 million during 2009 through a combination of issuances of senior notes and net repayments of amounts outstanding under its senior credit facility with proceeds from issuances of preferred and common equity and asset sale transactions. Additionally, during 2009, the company made principal payments on its rig loans and real estate loan related to the purchase of the company's headquarters building totaling $15.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2009, the company had classified $12.0 million of its long-term debt as current. This total included $11.1 million related to its rig loan and $0.9 million related to the real estate loan. Total debt as of December 31, 2009 was $2.579 billion compared to $2.375 billion at year-end 2008. The company was in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants contained in its debt agreements at December 31, 2009. During October 2009, the company's $985.4 million borrowing base and $1.75 billion commitment were reaffirmed by the group of lenders under its senior credit facility. The company's December 2009 issuance of its Senior Notes due 2020 reduced the borrowing base to $850.4 million at December 31, 2009.
During 2009, the company raised a total of approximately $1.8 billion through the private placements of 8.5% and 6.0% convertible perpetual preferred stock, the issuance of 9.875% Senior Notes due 2016 and 8.75% Senior Notes due 2020, registered underwritten offerings of common stock and the sale of its Pinon Field gathering and compression assets and deep drilling rights in East Texas. The company used proceeds from these transactions and cash flow from operations to fund the $800.0 million acquisition of properties from Forest and reduce amounts outstanding under its senior credit facility to $0 at December 31, 2009.

The company is updating certain guidance for 2010 from the information previously provided on November 30, 2009. The company has updated its projected production and projected natural gas differentials have been reduced to reflect lower differentials experienced to date in 2010. Depreciation, depletion and amortization of oil and gas assets has increased due to the inclusion of assets acquired from Forest in the company's amortization base. Interest expense per unit has increased due to the company's issuance of 8.75% Senior Notes due 2020 during December 2009. Common stock outstanding has been updated to reflect recent and projected employee stock compensation activity. The remainder of the previously provided guidance remains unchanged.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Operating cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income available to common stockholders and PV-10 are non-GAAP financial measures.
The company defines operating cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. It defines EBITDA as net (loss) income before income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, is EBITDA excluding interest income, gain or loss on the sale of assets and other various non-cash items (including asset impairments, income from equity investments, noncontrolling interest, stock-based compensation, unrealized (gain) loss on derivative contracts and provision for doubtful accounts). This definition of adjusted EBITDA generally conforms to the EBITDA definition in the company's credit agreement.
Operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental financial measures used by the company's management and by securities analysts, investors, lenders, rating agencies and others who follow the industry as an indicator of the company's ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt. The company also uses these measures because operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that the company may not control and may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. Further, operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA allow the company to compare its operating performance and return on capital with those of other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and operating income and these measures may vary among other companies. Therefore, the company's adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Management also uses the supplemental financial measure of adjusted net income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders, which excludes asset impairments, unrealized (loss) gain on derivative contracts and gain or loss on the sale of assets from net income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders. Management uses this financial measure as an indicator of the company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas companies and believes it is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. Adjusted net income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for net income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders.
PV-10 represents the present value of estimated future cash inflows from proved natural gas and oil reserves, less future development and production costs, discounted at 10% per annum to reflect timing of future cash flows and using pricing assumptions in effect at the end of the period for periods prior to December 31, 2009 and 12-month average prices for the year ended December 31, 2009. PV-10 differs from Standardized Measure because it does not include the effects of income taxes on future net revenues. Management uses PV-10 as an arbitrary reserve asset value measure to compare against past reserve bases and the reserve bases of other business entities that are not dependent on the tax-paying status of the entity.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to operating cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income available (loss applicable) to common stockholders and PV-10.

Cautionary Note to Investors - This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, but not limited to, the information appearing under the heading "Operational Guidance." These statements express a belief, expectation or intention and are generally accompanied by words that convey projected future events or outcomes. The forward-looking statements include projections and estimates of future natural gas and oil production, pricing differentials, operating costs and capital spending, and descriptions of our development plans. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the volatility of natural gas and oil prices, our success in discovering, estimating, developing and replacing natural gas and oil reserves, actual decline curves and the actual effect of adding compression to gas wells, the availability and terms of capital, the ability of counterparties to transactions with us to meet their obligations, our timely execution of hedge transactions, credit conditions of global capital markets, changes in economic conditions, construction risks related to the Century Plant, including the reliance we place on third parties, the amount and timing of future development costs, the availability and demand for alternative energy sources, regulatory changes, including those related to carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We refer you to the discussion of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in comparable "risk factors" sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed after the date of this press release. All of the forward-looking statements made in this press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. The actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or, even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected consequences to or effects on our company or our business or operations. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
In this press release, the company includes a table demonstrating the sensitivity of the company's proved oil and gas reserves to price fluctuations by comparing the reserves calculated under the price assumptions required by current U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules to (1) spot prices at December 31, 2009, and (2) the 10-year average NYMEX strip prices as of December 31, 2009. The reserves presented under these alternative price assumptions are not calculated in accordance with current SEC rules, and they have not been reviewed by independent petroleum engineers. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable or possible reserves and, accordingly, are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the company. For a discussion of the company's proved reserves, as calculated under current SEC rules, we refer you to the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K referenced above.
