BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Oil Casualty offers property coverage for energy companies

Reprints

Oil Casualty Insurance Ltd. has launched a line of risk property insurance for energy companies.

Offered on a direct and facultative basis, the coverage is available to refining and marketing, petrochemical and chemical, integrated oil, exploration and production, pipelines, utilities, and mining companies, the insurer said in a statement Monday.

OCIL is managed by Oil Management Services Ltd., which also operates Oil Insurance Ltd., a Bermuda-based mutual insurance company. While Oil Insurance also offers property coverage, Jerry Rivers, senior vice president and chief operating officer at OCIL, said there are many differences between the two separate companies' offerings. OCIL's new line is offered with substantially lower limits. A maximum capacity of $25 million is available as well as a minimum attachment of $50 million. In addition, OCIL's products are available to its shareholders as well as through a traditional policy.
