UnderWrite Insurance Services provides all types of insurance

In the oil and gas industry, where valuable infrastructure is spread across remote and sometimes hazardous locations, commercial property insurance helps cover losses due to events like fires, explosions, storms, or vandalism.

Commercial Automobile Insurance

Commercial auto insurance is vital with fleets of vehicles constantly moving to transport equipment, personnel, and materials. It covers accidents, collisions, and damages to company-owned vehicles, helping ensure that operations can continue without significant interruptions.

Workers' Compensation

Oil and gas operations can be physically demanding and potentially hazardous. Workers’ compensation insurance is essential to cover medical expenses and provide wage replacement for employees who are injured or become ill while on the job. It’s a legal requirement in many places and a vital safety net for workers.

General Liability Insurance

General liability insurance protects businesses from third-party claims of bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury. In the oil and gas industry, where accidents can have far-reaching consequences, this coverage is essential for protecting against lawsuits and liability claims.

The specialized oil and gas industry equipment can be expensive and essential to operations. Contractors’ equipment insurance covers repairing, replacing, or losing equipment due to accidents, theft, or other covered events

Umbrella Liability Insurance

Sometimes, the potential liabilities in the oil and gas industry can exceed the limits of standard general liability policies. Umbrella liability insurance provides an extra layer of protection, extending the coverage limits in case of a catastrophic event or a particularly large claim. It’s a safety net for those “what if” scenarios.

Control of Well Insurance

Also known as “Well Control Insurance,” this coverage is essential for drilling operations. It protects against the costs associated with regaining control of a well after a blowout, including expenses for capping, redrilling, and any resulting pollution cleanup.

This insurance protects against damage to third-party property in the care, custody, or control of the insured. It could include equipment or materials temporarily in the contractor’s possession.

This coverage addresses the costs associated with cleaning up pollution or debris that may result from an accident or event. This coverage is crucial in the oil and gas industry, where environmental concerns are paramount.

Rig Physical Damage

This coverage is specific to drilling rigs and protects against physical damage or loss. Given the high value and critical nature of drilling rigs, this coverage is fundamental.

Charterers' Liability

If a company charters or leases vessels for transporting oil and gas, charterer’s liability insurance covers the charterer against liabilities arising from the charter party agreement.

P&I insurance covers a range of liabilities that might not be covered by standard marine liability insurance. This includes damage to third-party property, collision liabilities, and pollution liabilities.
