Most of TXCO's operations are focused on the Maverick Basin in Dimmit, Kinney, Maverick and Zavala counties in southwestern Texas.

The San Miguel is projected to have 7- to 10 billion barrels of zero-degree API gravity tar/bitumen in place and perhaps another 100 million barrels of 10- to 14- degree API gravity heavy oil in separate traps.
