SandRidge Energy, Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 to include a corrected signature page reflecting conformed signatures for all officers and directors who signed the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2007 (the “Original Form 10-K”). Each such person manually signed the Original Form 10-K on March 7, 2008, but the Original Form 10-K incorrectly indicated that they signed through an attorney-in-fact.

We are also furnishing with this amendment current certifications required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Except as described above, there are no other changes to the Original Form 10-K, and this amendment does not speak to, or reflect, events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
