CONTROL OF WELL WINS

 

WIN: Lower premium than competing offer

Risk Type: 2 vertical wells <15,000 ft
Insured: Lease Operator
Coverage Solution: $50,000 premium; $5M/$1M limits

A Gulf Coast lease operator needed COW coverage for two vertical wells about to be drilled. With a $75,000 MP indication elsewhere, the operator’s broker turned to Kinsale. We bound the account, with all the necessary endorsements, at $50,000.

WIN: Affordable coverage for single well

Risk Type: 1 well being worked over
Insured: Lease Operator
Coverage Solution: $5,000 premium; $1M/$100,000 limits

A broker came to us looking for GL for a small lease operator who was having a single well worked over. Our underwriter quickly identified the operator’s need for COW coverage. We delivered an unsolicited COW quote ideally priced for a small business & bound the policy, providing essential protection at an unmistakable value.

WIN: Customized carve out

Risk Type: 29 producing wells & 1 well to be drilled
Insured: Lease Operator
Coverage Solution: $17,176 premium; $1M/$1M limits

An operator with 156 wells required carve out coverage for 29 wet wells located in inland waterways, as well as one additional well not yet drilled. His broker submitted the account and our underwriter provided a tailored carve-out quote within two hours, binding the policy soon after.

Coverage Solution: $41,883 premium; $ 1,846,295 TIV

A newly constructed apartment complex in Louisiana featured 1,208 rooftop solar panels.
