...industry. The company started repositioning its onshore strategies in 2009 and completed in 2013, shifting its operations from the offshore waters in the Gulf of Mexico to the onshore, Permian Basin region in West Texas. After fully divesting from the Medusa field in the Gulf of Mexico, Callon has turned into a pure-play concentrating 100% of its business at Midland Basin, a sub-basin located within Permian Basin.

The producers operating in the Basin benefits from rich oil and gas reserve loaded in the world’s thickest deposits of rocks, well-established infrastructure from historical operations and relatively stable regulatory environment that has been established over the time. The business strategy of Callon is to establish resource base and acreage position in the core of Permian Basin. Callon expends its asset base through self-development and acquisition of acreage. As of March 2016, Callon holds roughly 17,675 net surface acres in the Southern and Central Midland Basin that are prospective for multiple oil-bearing intervals.

...The goals of a literature review are to provide the reader with a critical analysis of scientific literature about a specific topic or question. Writing a summary about other works can demonstrate the depth of familiarity of a chosen topic. In order to further one's understanding, or research, studying the works of others is important because multiple disciplines may have competing explanations for a given subject. Literature review is also structured in a particular style that creates a uniform way for writers to articulate their ideas in a fashion the reader is familiar with. Craig Anderson uses the APA guidelines to create a clear structure for his review studying the effects of heat and violence. The structure of a literature review typically follows a certain format and order. In Anderson's, review Heat and Violence, he starts this process with a title that describes what the article is about. Following the title of the paper is an abstract, or overview, of what the entire article is about. Because there are a number of...

Then you will give the background of the problem and discuss it. This must all lead to two Courses of Action (COAs; solutions) that are tied to your title and problem. You need a “product” such as a process, a plan, a strategy, a program – something that can be recommended and implemented. Problem Statement (if not finalized post a draft – focus on the "pain.") The problem is that after initial training employees are not being reviewed for current performance. Suggest that after this initial statement you add something more about the problem. Brief Topic Overview The casino is experiencing a high turnover rate of employees because after their initial training they are put on the floor without any further review. In the handbook employees are supposed to have a review after 90 days but they are not being implemented. This leaves the casino with under qualified employees that eventually terminate their employment due to not feeling able to meet the high demands.
