We recognize that not all clients fit into one or the other of the traditional upstream / downstream market; there are many midstream clients that can be placed in either markets and there are also some clients that require both.

Our Integrated Energy team works with markets in every global insurance hub via our London, Houston, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Singapore offices, providing extensive worldwide specialist knowledge and experience in servicing the upstream and downstream oil & gas sector, heavy industry and more general property risks.
We provide a one-team structure to deliver seamless communication and quality client servicing.
The team is able to provide insurance/reinsurance solutions over a wide range of coverages including:
- Property damage
- Machinery breakdown
- Business interruption / Contingent business interruption / Loss of production income
- Control of well / Operators extra expense
- Offshore construction
- Third party / Excess liabilities
- Sabotage and terrorism / Political violence
