While the world watches Venezuela, the real story might be next door in Guyana, where the world's most important new oil frontier was under direct threat.
Maduro's claim to two-thirds of Guyana's territory (Esequibo region) aimed to seize over 11 billion barrels of onshore and offshore oil, creating a massive geopolitical risk.
The most immediate outcome in capture of Maduro is to neutralize this threat and secure the operating companies stakes in Guyana, as well as Western Hemisphere's energy security. By stabilizing Guyana's production, which is set to hit 1.7 million barrels per day, the intervention guarantees way more oil flow in near term than reviving Venezuela's aged infrastructure and heavy sour oil.
This move protects billions in U.S. investment and positions Guyana producers as the ultimate winners.
