July 23 (Reuters) - U.S. oil major Chevron Corp (CVX.N) on Sunday said the company's Chief Financial Officer Pierre Breber will retire next year, and named long-time company veteran Eimear Bonner, chief technology officer of Chevron Technical Center, as his successor.
Separately, the company also said it waived the mandatory retirement age requirement for its Chief Executive Officer Mike Wirth.
Bonner, 49, has been with Chevron for over 24 years. Bonner will report to Chevron's chief's executive in her new role.
The upcoming chief executive will take the position starting March 1, 2024, the company said in a statement.
Chevron also disclosed a preview of its quarterly results. Chevron posted adjusted earnings of $5.8 billion, or $3.08 per share in the second quarter. Results came above the $2.97 per share, according to REFINITIV data.
Chevron is due to report full quarterly results on Friday.

Nuclear energy provides almost 20 percent of the U.S. electricity supply. Advocates have called for an expanded role for nuclear as an emissions-free fuel source. But the economics of building new reactors are daunting. In addition, lingering safety concerns are an institutionalized part of the calculation of nuclear regulation, and highly radioactive nuclear waste remains a can that public officials have been inclined to kick down the road. The Energy Information Administration projects a sharp decline in nuclear power generation over the next decade, as new nuclear plants — two are planned — are more than offset by anticipated retirements of several operating reactors.
