ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL INSURANCE POLICIES WE OFFER

Hired & Non-Owned Auto Liability (HNOA)

Additional Insured / Waiver of Subrogation (Contract Requirements)

Many contracts require your clients or partners to be added as Additional Insureds or to waive subrogation rights. This coverage ensures compliance, reduces exposure, and strengthens your ability to secure and maintain contracts.

This policy language clarifies that your coverage takes precedence and does not rely on the other party’s insurance. It protects your business from coverage disputes and helps meet strict contract requirements.

Builders Risk (Project-Based)

Covers construction projects, materials, and temporary structures against fire, theft, vandalism, and weather-related damage. Builders Risk insurance safeguards your investment from groundbreaking to completion.

Business Income / Extra ExpENSE

Helps replace lost income and covers additional operational expenses if your business is temporarily disrupted by a covered loss. This coverage keeps your operations running and helps maintain client commitments during downtime.

Why Oilfield Industry Insurance Is Essential

Oilfield operations involve elevated exposure to severe injuries, environmental damage, and contractual liability. Without proper coverage, a single incident can jeopardize your business. Common risks include:


  • Serious job-site accidents involving heavy equipment
  • High-severity vehicle accidents with commercial trucks
  • Environmental contamination and pollution claims
  • Equipment failure causing operational shutdowns
  • Contractual insurance and high-limit liability requirements
  • Employment-related claims in high-turnover workforces


The right insurance program protects your workforce, contracts, reputation, and financial stability.

What Oilfield Industry Insurance Does Not Cover

Black square with a white circle and a diagonal line, indicating prohibition.

Understanding policy exclusions helps prevent costly gaps:



  • Intentional acts or criminal behavior
  • Pollution events without environmental liability coverage
  • Equipment failure not covered under breakdown policies
  • Professional services outside E&O coverage
  • Cyber incidents without cyber liability insurance


We structure oilfield insurance programs to address these exclusions and eliminate coverage gaps.

Why Oilfield Industry Insurance Is Often Set Up Incorrectly

Many oilfield companies face problems because:

1.

Coverage doesn’t align with actual field operations

2.

Liability limits fall short of contract requirements

3.

Pollution and environmental exposures are underinsured

4.

Mobile equipment and rigs aren’t properly scheduled

5.

Gaps exist between CGL, auto, and umbrella policies
