Devon Energy Corp (DVN), Continental Resources, Inc. (CLR): Will SandRidge Energy Inc. (SD) Investors Enjoy a Significant Future Pay Day?

Stacked pay, when combined with multi-well pad efficiencies really can be a financial game-changer for the industry and its investors. One area where stacked pay is really starting to bear fruit is in the Bakken. Leading driller Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CLR) is also leading in the development of the Three Forks formation, which has multiple pay zones below the Bakken. Unlocking these additional zones is adding tremendous unbooked net resource potential for the company. In fact, Continental thinks there is just as much oil in the Three Forks as there is in the Bakken, which is an absolutely remarkable number.

Similar potential could be waiting for SandRidge Energy Inc. (NYSE:SD) to unlock. Add it all up and there is potential for significant future pay day for SandRidge investors as it unlocks more oil and gas from just inside its own core acreage position.
