Energy and Marine Risk Management

• Wortham has a substantial client base in the energy sector covering worldwide operations. Our long and impressive client list includes many who have been associated with Wortham for more than 20 years.

• More than 50% of the $1 billion annual premium we place into the

insurance marketplace is energy, marine or energy related. Our experience in negotiating client insurance programs sharpens our skills constantly so client satisfaction on wordings and premiums becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

• We handle insurance for some of the largest energy companies in the

country. We also handle some very acquisition minded energy companies, which means we are constantly modifying and renegotiating insurance programs to develop creative and cost efficient solutions.

• Claims advocacy - the Wortham team that markets and negotiates

manuscript policy wording for energy and property placements also handles the claims. This team approach provides a better result in claim recovery and knowledge on how to negotiate policy forms.

• Wortham’s seasoned energy team has experienced both soft and hard

insurance market cycles and knows how to utilize worldwide insurance markets to meet client needs.

Expertise in handling insurance for the full spectrum of energy companies including:
