Control of Well Insurance
Ensure your oil and gas company receives the financial support it needs in the aftermath of an unexpected well blowout with coverage from InSource.
Protect Your Financial Future With Specialized Insurance for the Oil and Gas Industry
Running an oil and gas business is a dangerous venture, and no matter how many risk management practices you implement, there’s no foolproof way to prevent every potential accident. From employee injuries to leased property damage, these accidents can cost your business substantial time and money. If you suffer an unexpected well blowout, costs can skyrocket into seven figures and beyond—threatening the future of your business.
At InSource Insurance Group, we specialize in covering the unique risks of the oil and gas industry, including well blowouts and sudden pressure release. Our control of well insurance policies cover critical costs in the aftermath of a blowout, so you can get back to business without draining your bank account.
What Does Control of Well Insurance Cover?
Control of well insurance helps cover some or all of the costs that arise after a well blowout. These costs may include:
- Regaining well control: After pressure control systems fail and a well begins releasing crude oil and natural gas, it doesn’t take long for severe property and environmental damage to occur. However, getting the right people and equipment to a remote site can cost thousands after a blowout. Whether you hire a third party to help regain control or attempt to mitigate the situation internally, your control of well insurance can help cover related costs.
- Well restoration and redrilling: Blowouts can cause explosions and fires that damage the integrity of the well. Once you regain control, your policy will help pay to redrill the well to its previous depth and bring it back to working order.
- Pollution cleanup: Before you can completely regain control of a well blowout, large amounts of oil and gas may leak into the ground or water, causing environmental damage. Many control of well policies help pay for equipment and labor associated with pollution cleanup efforts.
- Legal liability: Depending on the policy you choose, you may receive coverage for legal liability. If a third party sues you for bodily injury or property damage after a well blowout, your legal liability coverage would help pay for lawsuit expenses.
- Care, custody, and control: Some policies include care, custody, and control coverage, which helps pay to repair or replace leased equipment damaged during a well blowout. InSource can help you determine the coverages to include in your policy to provide the best protection within your budget.
