The CEOs of Exxon XOM.N, Chevron CVX.N and Conocophillips COP.N warned in a series of White House meetings last Wednesday and in recent conversations with Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that the disruption to energy flows through the vital Strait of Hormuz waterway would continue to create volatility in global energy markets, the report said.
