CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Forward Looking Statement

This presentation 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. 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 statements about the company’s corporate strategies, future operations, development plans and appraisal programs, our drilling inventory and locations, estimated production, rates of return, reserves, projections and estimates of net income and EBITDA, projected capital expenditures, projected operating, general and administrative and other costs, anticipated efficiency and cost reduction initiative outcomes, the acquisition of seismic data, infrastructure utilization and investment, liquidity, capital structure, hedging position and strategies, and price realizations and differentials. 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 oil and natural gas prices, our success in discovering, estimating, and developing oil and natural gas reserves, the availability and terms of capital, our timely execution of hedge transactions, credit conditions of global capital markets, changes in economic conditions, regulatory changes 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, 2015 and in comparable “Risk Factors” sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed after the date of this presentation. All of the forward-looking statements made in this presentation 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.

The SEC permits oil and natural gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves, as each is defined by the SEC. At times we use the terms “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and “recoverable reserves” that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. 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 amended Annual Report on Form 10-K referenced above, which is available on our website at www.sandridgeenergy.com and at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

MID-CONTINENT: ACHIEVEMENTS AND PRIORITIES

ACHIEVEMENTS

Multi and extended lateral development yields best 2016 well returns in Mississippian Lime, driven by a significant improvement in drilled and completed lateral cost per foot

Multi and extended lateral development provide strong results

– Dettle (Dual-XL) produced a 30-Day IP of 1,099 Boepd (60% oil) for $1.7MM per lateral

– Chester drilling with most recent 7 laterals averaging a 30-Day IP of 487 Boepd (60% oil), expanding drilling inventory on existing leasehold footprint

– Q2’16 Chester extended lateral, the Earl 2414 1-11H14H, produced a 30-Day IP of 560 Boepd (62 % oil) at $2.16MM per lateral

Continued focus on operating cost improvement through contract renegotiations and operating efficiencies

Effectively managing SWD limitations from regulatory agencies, with minimal production deferment

PRIORITIES

Test and delineate adjacent emerging plays

Continue to drive down individual well costs through innovative operating practices including multilateral, extended lateral and dual extended lateral utilization

Reduce production downtime

Expand alternate zone water injection plan; successful Penn Sands pilot injection test initiated in Q3’16
