Why Venezuela is Preparing to Invade Guyana

Venezuela is preparing to annex Guyana. Recently, President Nicolas Maduro published a brand new map of Venezuela, that includes two-thirds of Guyana called the Essequibo region.
While Venezuelan troops are already increasing their activity near the border with Guyana.
But why the hell does Nicolas Maduro, want to invade such a small country?
In 2015, Guyana discovered a massive 11 billion barrels worth of oil deposits within its maritime region. Which is more per capita than Kuwait or the United Arab Emirates.
However, invading the Essequibo region is no easy task. As it is covered by the dense Amazon rainforest, there's literally only one paved road that runs from Venezuela to Guyana, but that passes through Brazil first and then reaches Guyana.
At the same time, the United States Air Force has already begun conducting aerial patrols over Guyana's territory.
Therefore, Guyana's future depends on how its big brothers in America, United States and Brazil respond.
