Chevron's Chief Financial Officer Eimear Bonner sat down with Bloomberg's Annmarie Hordern to discuss the energy giant's strategies amid ongoing Middle East conflict and a challenging first quarter.

Bonner addressed the company's increased share buyback program, the importance of maintaining storage buffers to manage supply disruptions, and the impact of Trump administration waivers on operations. She also highlighted Chevron's competitive position in Venezuela.

The interview comes after Chevron shares dipped at the end of the week, with analysts describing the first-quarter report as "messy." Bonner provided insights into how the company is navigating geopolitical tensions while focusing on shareholder returns and operational resilience.
