Upstream

Propelling progress by pioneering new upstream energy solutions.

Upstream energy

The risk complexity of exploration and production, together with the ever-growing modernisation of upstream operations, requires an experienced yet innovative approach to risk transfer solutions.

We represent clients across all major regional energy hubs, from independent service providers to multinational energy companies.

Who We Work With

Working directly with insureds, local insurance companies and independent intermediaries, we access Lloyd’s, London and international markets to design and place comprehensive insurance and facultative reinsurance solutions for:

  • exploration and production companies
  • drilling and service contractors
  • pipeline companies
  • energy construction companies
  • integrated energy companies
  • financial institutions investing in energy
  • captives
     

Our global reach and long-standing market relationships enable us to place complex, high capacity programmes, as well as offer access to a number of market-leading facilities. Additionally, we believe that the diversity and global spread of our client base gives us true insight into the energy insurance market.
