Trump Wants Venezuela's Oil. Getting It Might Not Be So Simple
The administration has made it clear that Nicolás Maduro's capture was tied to Venezuela's vast oil reserves. Much less certain is how US companies will actually access them—or if they even want to.

It is both true that Trump's intervention is about the oil AND that it makes no sense as a capitalist matter.
Trump likes the IDEA of taking oil from other countries and has for literal decades. But, as usual, he has no notion of the practicalities.

The US produces >13 mn barrels of oil per day. Venezuela produces <1 million bpd
There's a global oil glut i.e. lower prices. That's bad for US producers, who need higher prices to break even. Hard to imagine they're eager to make big new investments in an unstable place w/ decrepit infrastructure

In truth, Trump's war in Venezuela does not actually serve the American oil industry's interests.
It might nonetheless be motivated by oil, but only because Trump personally loves the idea of pillaging conquered lands
