Is small-cap Midstate Petroleum a good turnaround bet on oil?

So, I've pretty much gone off oil stocks of late and find the market really dull--even during that brief flirtation with higher oil prices that didn't do much of anything for oil co stocks; but Forbes is touting its best ways to play the oil market, and while the top four on this list are dull and obvious, I'm interested in the Midstate Petroleum story:

I'd have to look into Midstate more closely. The Forbes story sounds like a paid-for pitch to me. But the conclusion is worth noting: 

"We expect mainstream investors to gradually come back to small-cap energy companies in general and post-reorganization energy stocks in particular. When that happens, it will significantly boost Midstates’ valuation metrics and stock price."
