Understanding Energy Insurance

Construction, Erection, and Operational Risks

Course Overview

Risk and insurance aspects are components spelt out in energy project contract documents. In most energy projects, the contracts will carry specific clauses that spell out the need for insurances to be arranged for the project, equipment, and protection against third-party claims. Indemnity must be procured to protect the employer or client. Often the requirements of the necessary insurances are recorded in the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) involving oil drilling activities. The projects can range from oil and gas exploration work, drilling activities, platform installation, and power generation schemes. These can be onshore or offshore; renewable energy projects like wind power units and solar farms are new developments that are already being implemented in various regions.

There are various risk aspects involved in an energy project implementation - some of these issues can be identified and managed, operational cover for energy production plants will also be addressed. Insurance is arranged to act as a risk transfer mechanism. Risk management can be used to reduce specific exposures on an energy project site, including perils like fire, explosion, collapse and even “design defects” or material/workmanship shortcomings. The basic principles of insurance will be addressed in this Energy Training Centre Understanding Energy Insurance training course.
