Understanding Energy Insurance
This five-day programme explains how energy companies insure catastrophic exposures, from property damage and business interruption to well control and liability. Participants work with real policy wordings, loss estimation methods, and a full claims submission to strengthen risk transfer decisions.
Introduction
Understanding Energy Insurance Training Course explains how insurance protects companies that operate where losses can be catastrophic. Energy risks range from offshore platform damage and refinery incidents to business interruption and liability claims. This programme covers how underwriters assess these exposures, how policies are structured, and how claims reach settlement. Participants examine property damage, business interruption, operator's extra expense, and liability covers in practical detail. Furthermore, the course explains facultative and treaty reinsurance, market cycles, and current policy wording trends. In addition, it covers risk engineering surveys and loss prevention. As a result, attendees can negotiate coverage with evidence rather than assumption.
Understanding Energy Insurance Course Objectives
- Explain the structure and scope of energy insurance covers, including property damage, business interruption, and liability.
- Apply risk assessment techniques to upstream, midstream, and downstream exposures.
- Interpret key policy clauses, definitions, deductibles, and limits.
- Prepare accurate declarations and underwriting information for energy risks.
- Calculate maximum foreseeable loss, estimated maximum loss, and probable maximum loss.
- Identify control of well and operator's extra expense exposures.
- Explain facultative and treaty reinsurance arrangements and their effect on capacity.
- Manage claims preparation, adjustment, and settlement documentation.
- Apply loss prevention measures from risk engineering surveys.
- Navigate market cycles, capacity constraints, and Lloyd's market practices.
Course Methodology
- Case studies on major energy losses and their insurance outcomes.
- Guided review of actual policy wordings and endorsements.
- Syndicate exercises on placement, negotiation, and claims handling.
- Risk engineering workshop on exposure assessment, including MFL and PML calculations.
- Structured discussion on market conditions and coverage trends.
