About our energy insurance solutions

Our specialist underwriters work with risk engineers to offer tailored energy insurance solutions for risks worldwide.

Our underwriting approach links risk quality, claims history and deductibles to programme pricing, structures and capacity deployed.

Our appetite

We provide insurance solutions for domestic and global companies across the lines of business listed below. We will consider each customer and risk individually, based on their risk profile.

  • Upstream: Multiple aspects of the value chain associated with the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. This includes, but is not limited to, the cost of well control and physical damage to offshore platforms, pipelines, and mobile drilling units. We also write offshore renewable energy risks within this portfolio, and all aspects of offshore construction
  • Downstream/midstream: Oil refining, gas processing including LNG production, petrochemical production, hydrocarbon transportation and storage, and heavy chemicals
  • Power generation: Renewable and conventional power generation, including transmission and distribution
  • Mining: Surface and underground mining operations for metals, minerals and other natural commodities
  • Energy casualty: Operational and construction liabilities for upstream, midstream, downstream, mining and power generation (including renewable energy) lines of business

Global energy programmes

Zurich Multinational has a global network and we work with it to offer insurance solutions in 200 territories. Our cross-territory energy insurance programmes are designed to avoid language, cultural and business barriers, leaving customers in control of their overseas coverage.

The Zurich Multinational Insurance Application (Zurich MIA) brings clarity to complex multinational insurance programmes by ensuring alignment with local insurance regulations and premium tax obligations. 

Our proprietary International Programme System (IPS) integrates customer data into one worldwide platform, linking Zurich-owned offices, hub offices and direct partner companies, enabling an efficient flow of information to help manage our international programmes.
