Overview

In energy project contract documents, risk and insurance considerations are explicitly outlined. These contracts typically contain specific clauses mandating the arrangement of insurances for the project, equipment, and protection against third-party claims. Indemnity is crucial to safeguard the employer or client. The requisite insurance requirements are often documented in the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) associated with activities such as oil drilling. Energy projects encompass a broad spectrum, including oil and gas exploration, drilling, platform installation, and power generation, both onshore and offshore. Emerging developments like renewable energy projects, such as wind power units and solar farms, are already underway in various regions.

Implementing an energy project involves managing various risk aspects, and some issues can be identified and mitigated. Operational coverage for energy production plants is also a key consideration. Insurance serves as a risk transfer mechanism in this context. Risk management strategies can help mitigate specific exposures on an energy project site, addressing perils like fire, explosion, collapse, and potential “design defects” or material/workmanship deficiencies. The fundamental principles of insurance will be explored in this training course.

This training course by STRATEDGE, on Understanding Energy Insurance will cover:

  • Differentiating between types of oil and gas risks and understanding erection/operational exposure distinctions.
  • Examining current industry trends in renewable energy.
  • Exploring how insurance functions as a risk transfer mechanism within the energy project sectors.
  • Understanding the principles of insurance through relevant examples.
  • Identifying trade risks and delving into underwriting/undercutting practices.
