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”.

LONDON—A new facility formed by Willis Group Holdings P.L.C. and backed by Berkshire Hathaway International Insurance Ltd. will provide up to $250 million in coverage to oil and gas risks.

The facility is designed so that “Berkshire Hathaway will follow, or improve upon, terms and conditions set by” lead insurers, Willis said Wednesday in a statement.

“This additional capacity is excellent news,” Alistair Rivers, CEO of Willis Global Energy, said in the statement. “It provides substantial and easy access to AA+ rated paper to the market at a time when the need for additional capacity on a range of operating and construction risks has never been greater.”
