Cat-in-a-Box Vehicle

• The Cat-in-a-Box vehicle was designed to overlay areas of insurers exposure that are of concern and to respond to hurricane category winds from Category 2 to Category 5

• The catastrophe model proves to be useful in not only identifying areas and assets of concern, but also by using a catastrophe model, different box sizes and positions around the Gulf of Mexico can be analyzed to determine their probabilities of being triggered by a hurricane event

• It should be noted that there is of course material basis-risk to such a vehicles

Developing an innovative insurance solution for oil and gas decommissioning activities

Current situation• During the next decade many UK North Sea oil and gas installations will need

to be decommissioned

Challenge• Currently, decommissioning oil and gas facilities is a costly, complex

challenge. Over $47bn will be spent in the UK Continental Shelf alone, over half of this total to be spent on the removal of platforms

• The lack of meaningful lifting capacity drives increased cost and risk for Operators. Decommissioning costs are estimated to have tripled from 2006 to 2011

• Operators are seeking a cost-effective, safe and environmentally sound solution

Developing an innovative insurance solution for oil and gas decommissioning activities

• Client owns lifting technology for the offshore oil and gas industry, particularly in decommissioning. The system has a maximum lift capacity of 34,000 tonnes, larger than any other active lift vessel in Europe. The system is ready for construction and is in discussions to participate in several decommissioning projects in the UK North Sea

• An innovative solution was developed with a leading insurer to enable client to offer a fixed price package for platform removal, not currently available in the insurance market

Working together to develop a high value solution

•Aon is working with others in the industry (clients and markets) to develop a high value solution for the energy sector

•Work we are doing is subject to confidentiality

•What we are doing is developing a product • with very high limits• provides protection to large, mid-size and small oil companies and contractors

• provides meaningful risk transfer

13

Developing a long term sustainable solution

•A lot of the capacity has come from client captives

• Innovation has usually come after a major loss/event

• As an industry we need to drive innovation and a sustainable long term solution prior to a major loss/event

• When the industry understands what clients value and work together to build a clear solution then there is a demand for innovation
