Energy losses can involve complex processes, long lead times and high-value equipment — often under significant contractual and operational pressure. With decades of experience across major onshore and offshore losses in oil and gas, petrochemical, and power, Global Specialty Energy supports clients on business interruption, delay in start-up (DSU) and LOPI exposures. We help establish the facts quickly, quantify the impact and keep claims progressing with confidence.

Types of losses we handle

Our adjusters support losses across the full energy landscape — from upstream and offshore assets to downstream processing, petrochemical operations, renewables and power generation. We are regularly instructed on losses involving:

  • Offshore and onshore property damage across energy, petrochemical and power facilities, including critical plant and infrastructure
  • Operator’s Extra Expense (Control of Well)
  • Construction, commissioning and start-up losses across downstream, petrochemical and power projects, including delay impacts and DSU exposures
  • Onshore and offshore Pollution & Clean-Up and Liability
  • End-of-Life / Decommissioning
  • Operational incidents arising from process, unit and utility failures, such as compressors, furnaces, turbines, generators, transformers and control systems
  • Major events, including machinery breakdown, fire, explosion and complex investigations
  • Business Interruption and Loss of Production Income
  • Testing, commissioning and handover losses across new-build and upgrade projects
  • Multi-party and third-party losses involving insurers, brokers, owners, operators and contractors

 

Recognizing that every incident is different, we focus on the risk, the exposure and the realities of the loss, wherever it occurs.
