Energy - Control of Well

Our Energy Division’s Control of Well (COW) coverage is designed exclusively to protect oil & gas-related businesses from well-failure expenses. COW, also known as Well Control or Operator’s Extra Expense (OEE), can prevent costly coverage gaps left by standard General Liability and Property exclusions.

We target small to midsize operators, non-operators, drilling contractors, and well-servicing companies with a broad and consistent appetite for all types of wells, including drilled, workover, producing, plugged and abandoned, shut in, and more. We also provide flexible limits, customizable options, and premiums as low as $5,000 so that you can build tailored coverage, whether your account has one well or many.

Our COW coverage is written as primary standalone insurance with capacity limits up to $5M and can be complemented with additional products like Energy Property or our Energy Liability coverages.
